My daughter got an FFA pig named Waddles. 🐷😂 Because apparently, raising four kids wasn't enough. We're adding livestock to the family plot.
In this episode of Shhh My Kids Are Asleep, we're talking about my daughter's FFA pig, Waddles, and what happens when your kid gets involved in FFA (Future Farmers of America). Suddenly you're learning about a whole new world of raising animals, youth agriculture, and livestock projects.
Listen, I'm a mom. I've survived school activities, teenage drama, sports schedules, and approximately 47 different school communication apps. But an FFA pig named Waddles? That's a new chapter.
If you're a parent raising kids, navigating FFA, or figuring out how livestock projects fit into family life, come hang out with me. We're doing our best, making memories, and occasionally wondering how we got here.
Because I love my kids. I really do. But nobody told me motherhood might involve a pig named Waddles. 🐷
Are you an FFA or former FFA family? I want to hear all things raising livestock-related and, of course, animal types and names!!! DM or email me!

She can drive legally now?
The day has finally arrived: my daughter is going to get her driver’s license. 🚗
Except first, I have to pick her up from school because she doesn’t feel good. Then she throws up. Twice. The first time I’m thinking, Wait… is she contagious? The second time I’m thinking, Okay, maybe we need urgent care instead of the DPS.
And then… magically better. 👀 Weird.
So off we go to the Texas DPS, where I immediately begin sweating over paperwork, including the California driving record I had to print out because we’re out-of-state transplants. Of course, the website says everything should be OFFICIAL, and naturally, the copy I brought is… unofficial. Cool. Cool cool cool.
Eventually, I’m told to sit down and watch my precious baby girl walk out of the building to take her driving test.
And now I wait.
Did she pass? And who from a previous episode was actually her driving instructor?!
Buckle up. Yes, that pun was absolutely intended. 😂

Episode 60 - Imaginary Friend
Sometimes your kid tells you something so casually that you don’t even think to question it.
When my daughter was in 3rd or 4th grade, she started talking about a new friend with a name that sounded way too cool to be real. I took her completely seriously… and somehow convinced myself my kid had an imaginary friend.
Fast-forward to open house night, when I got a very rude awakening.
Turns out, I had fallen victim to one of the most dangerous combinations known to motherhood: a creative kid, a sarcastic sense of humor, and a mom who apparently doesn’t ask enough follow-up questions.
In this episode, I let you in on the “imaginary friend” who was actually very much real and why, when you have a sarcastic child, you might want to keep your eyes and ears open.
