Stay At Home Mom Guilt
I’m having a feel-sorry-for-myself day. A day when I can’t help but wonder if I made the right choices, if me staying home was the way to go. Every time I turn around, I feel like I’m losing my mind, my temper, my patience. I’m constantly snapping. My son is on the receiving end way [...]
Pretty In Pink… or Purple, Penis Still Intact
This morning I was DE-LIGHTED to see BabySteals.com offering the fantabulous, super-awesome, life saving, colic soothing Miracle Blanket for $15. I pounced on that bad boy and ordered one right away. We only had one for Kendall, and I planned to add another to the stash before this baby arrives so we might be able [...]
LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!! Consignment Style
I’d been counting down the days until yesterday for months. It was the BIG SHOW, the MAIN EVENT, the SUPER BOWL FOR MOMS… it was consignment sale day. I had a plan, a prioritized list, a budget (ugh), and caffeine and sugar coursing through my pregnant veins. I was not above using my belly to [...]
Potty Training Progress Report
“Get used to it now, your life will revolve around pee and poop for most of the foreseeable future. And let me just say, newborn poop has nothing on watching your toddler drop a man-sized turd in the toilet. THAT? Might make you gag.” Those were my encouraging words of wisdom to one of my [...]
I Did A Little Decorating Today
Despite the fact that the man promised me I would maintain full control over the temperature of the house throughout the duration of the pregnancy, per the terms of our negotiations, he KEEPS ON CHEATING and thinking I’m not going to notice. Oh, I WILL NOTICE a one degree jump in temperature around here, buddy. [...]
Saying Goodbye to Being A Boy Mom
I’ve mentioned here before, and I’ve certainly stated to my friends and family (back before I found out we were having a girl) that I wouldn’t be shocked at all to end up with all boys. My husband comes from a huge family that seems to be overrun by testosterone. I knew what I was [...]
Let’s Fantasize About Fall
I could use a little reality escape from this heat (by the way, just got back from the pool where we waded around in 90 degree water and Kendall insisted on shoving every toy of his into the water intake- FUN TIMES!). Let’s think about Halloween. It is only 2.5 months away, and if this [...]
Satan’s Playground
Allow me to be dramatic. Like you have a choice. Like you EVER have a choice. It is so hot here I want to curl up and stuff myself in the refrigerator, hoping to drift off to sleep like a ladybug. (Have you ever seen those refrigerated bags of ladybugs they sell at gardening stores [...]
Some Notes For Next Year- my FINAL #blogher10 post
I promise. I just want to get some things down before I forget them next year, mainly for myself, but also for those of you thinking about making Blogher 2011 your first blogging conference. (It will be in San Diego!) 1. Build in time to do sight seeing in addition to the days you’re spending [...]
I Was Inspired, Laughed Harder and Sprayed My Boobs Pink- #blogher10 recap 2
Day 2 of the conference was tough to get going for. The minimal sleep and non-existent naps really caught up to me. So Mandy and I headed out to Starbucks to fuel up, where we ran into Jen (who may not be the world’s most prolific blogger, but the girl can tweet her ass off). [...]
