I miss the little things… like going to the bathroom in peace, putting on my makeup without a child bumping my arm, and taking a relaxing shower (without stepping on a child). The joys of motherhood!
About Camye
Hello! I’m Camye. I’m a small town Iowa girl who runs Quad City Moms Blog, a site designed to support, encourage, and connect moms in this adventure called motherhood. (You are not alone!) I have transitioned from early childhood teacher to stay-at-home mom to work-at-home mom. I have an artsy, creative husband and three rambunctious children- especially the 1-year-old! Balancing family, life, and blogosphere is a daily challenge. I love making to-do lists and checking things off, searching for the world’s best chocolate-chip cookie recipe, and tackling DIY projects. When the kids are finally in bed, you’ll find me curled up on the couch watching prime time with a computer on my lap.
mother’s day
Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the amazing moms out there! We hope you are spoiled by your family!
laundry crisis
I’m having a laundry crisis! I have several kid leggings and skirts that are STAINED and I can’t get them clean! The stains include: ink from a pen, grease from a bike chain, rubber from a bike tire, and lots of mud / grass stains. I’ve pretreated using Tide and sprayed using Shout, but the [...]
DIY Summer Party
Summer’s just around the corner and now is the perfect time to start planning a party! When asked by Skinnygirl Cocktails (so happy to announce I’m a Skinnygirl Cocktails Insider now) to sample their spring innovations, I threw together a “mix and mingle” to try out the products they gave me. It was a good excuse to get some friends together, [...]

reacquaint, reconnect, recharge
Being a parent is the biggest responsibility that has ever been entrusted to us. It is equally rewarding and overwhelming. Some days we feel the overwhelming part more than the rewarding part. It is a 24/7 job and it is so easy to become completely consumed in parenting our children. Between the daily chores to [...]
friday fashion: camye’s style
In the past “fashion” has meant grabbing a shirt (that didn’t have spit-up on the shoulder), jeans, and tennis shoes (of course with my tall sports socks). I most often wore a sweatshirt for comfort and usually walked out of the house in my sweats. However, things changed after my Mommy Makeover about a year [...]
