On crib abandonment and keeping it in perspective
On Monday afternoon I put Kendall in his crib for a nap. He was fighting it pretty hard, but I knew he was exhausted and he needed the rest. I left him in his room and began cleaning the playroom. At some point I noticed silence and was happy he finally fell asleep. Minutes later [...]
Just because it’s not at Babies”R”Us doesn’t mean you don’t need it
Believe it or not, you can’t get EVERYTHING you need for a baby/toddler at those giant, overwhelming mega baby marts. I mean, for one, they don’t sell Holy Water, and that’s, like, totally necessary when your colicky newborn’s spinning head is projectile vomiting. They also don’t sell laundry baskets, which any parent can tell you [...]
Never pass up the opportunity to learn from fellow bloggers
I enjoy learning things from other blogs. There is no one right way to blog, so it’s interesting to see how others succeed. Even more interesting, learning how other bloggers make money. I make a little here and there, mainly I just aim to pay for Kendall’s Mother’s Day Out Program and hopefully will be [...]
Modern Bird Studios – custom art with soul
Every now and then, through these great mediums we call social media, I make a really, truly wonderful connection with a blogger, a reader, and occasionally a company. I call so many of these small business owners and entrepreneurs “friends” now, and I’m excited to introduce you all to Megan and Gregg, my friend and [...]
Prioritizing my worry list
I don’t think I understood how important it is to “pick your battles” until I became a mom. There are SO MANY small and large battles you could fight, an overwhelming, unending list of things you could worry about. I learned the hard way in the beginning, but that’s sort of a new mom rite [...]
Some things really bring out the crazy in me, like worms.
This story is too funny not to blog. I’ve already spoiled it for my Facebook Fans (What? I have a Facebook Fan Page? YEAH! Check it out.), but I really feel like I need to share it with the rest of you because I can’t stop laughing. Last night I was trying to rock Kendall [...]
Keep your mommy wars off of Facebook!
Ahhh, Facebook. I love you, I do. And yet, I hate you, or… more like some of the other people who use you. Specifically, the other people who use you as a way to spout their ignorance and idiocy behind the safety of a computer and far from my reach, making it impossible to throat [...]
Flip Diaper Review and Giveaway
I know I’ve been talking a lot about poop on here lately, but let me take that subject on a different tangent and talk a little about cloth diapering a toddler.
Let me just say that last year we went through some rough patches. It all started around watermelon season near his 1st birthday. The kid [...]
Poop- still monopolizing my life
Okay, remember how I was going to be all YAY POTTY TRAINING this month? Uhm, yeah… well, that didn’t work out. We tried…sort of. We’ve taken many opportunities to make asses of ourselves, sing silly songs, read the Elmo potty book in an effort to get him pumped about going potty. He’s not buying what [...]
The Power of the Negotiator
The conversation last night went a little something like this…
Me: “You know, we really need to get some better beer,” as I guzzle down the last of a can of Budwieser.
Scott: “What do you mean, you don’t like Bud now?”
Me: “I like it alright, but this is a different time in our lives. If I’m [...]
