My little Viking Princess LOVES Barbies.  But she also requires that her Barbies and other similar dolls have their shoes on at all times otherwise our household experiences a major 3-year old meltdown because Barbie's feet are naked.  If you didn't already know, Barbie shoes are TINY, and pose something of a choking hazard to the baby.  I'm constantly picking up tiny shoes and putting them back on Barbie, averting many meltdowns a day.  So, naturally, I am sick and tired of Barbie shoes and all things tiny.  As I was doing this for the billionth time the other day, it dawned on me to glue the stupid little shoes onto Barbie, theoretically ending any further shoe crisis that may arise.  Once Viking Princess went to bed (because if she were to see such a procedure she may have some kind of coniption fit . . .) I pulled out the handy ol' Gorilla Glue, laid Barbie out on the counter and began gluing.  Much care must be taken to not put too much glue so that it seeps out of the shoe or to put too little so that the shoe doesn't stick. 
Barbie seemed to recover well from her procedure, but I have yet to learn if it's really 'stuck'!  The true test will come over the weekend, so I'll report back.  If this doesn't work, there may be an unfortunate accident of some kind that leaves all the tiny shoes and things missing . . .

I am a Mom of three little rascals.  Oops, I mean sweet, darling, perfect little angels.  My husband and I married in 2003, and our lives have turned into something along the lines of ordered chaos, if such a thing actually exists. Our parents and siblings live in different states, we both work, and the only friends who have joined us in being outnumbered by their offspring live 2500 miles away.  We are doing our best in teaming up in an effort to raise three productive, contributing members of society without losing our mind from lack of sleep, privacy or living in a house that looks like Toys R Us exploded. 

I've started this site as a place for Moms of three to join together to share stories, ideas, helpful hints or just support, knowing we are not alone in this journey!  Oh, and Moms of three include:  2 children + 1 spouse OR 1 child + 1 pet + 1 spouse OR 3 actual children + 1 spouse OR any combination of children, spouse and pets that keep you so busy and frazzled that you can barely remember what you ate for breakfast, of if you even ate anything at all for that matter.
