Biting Nastiness

Its questionable that my one year old is unaware of his ability to bite. He does not bite his favorite mommy parts, but he will unleash his jaw power on anything and any one else. “Ouch!” can be heard from any given family member at any time so long as he is around.
He just bit [...]

The case of the missing baby clothes

My 5 year old never dealt with competition for her clothes. But then again, we didn’t have all these naked stuffed animals when she was just a babe.

For the Love of Innocence

You see that symbol of my daughter’s fleeting youth? The fluffy pink Minnie ears adorned with a plush tiara and veil that her uninhibited innocence graced the streets with?
That whimsical head dress, the last minute accessory she would put on to exclaim, “I’m ready!” before leaving our home is a true testament of my daughter’s [...]

Where did this come from?!

I was waiting for my Rock Hard Body Abs exercise video On Demand to start as I finished the chocolate cream cheese icing I’d just made myself when I heard it. My daughter was writing her friends little notes, an activity she’s loved as of late. Stuttered sounds constantly ring throughout our home like a [...]

I might be doing my job right.

This week has been one of hits and misses, the misses coming before the hits. Monday, I went to bed seething with blog envy and self doubt and woke up Tuesday being asked by Scary Mommy to guest post. Huzzah! Wednesday, I wrote this post about my daughter nicely strewing our dirty laundry across the [...]

Mean Girl

We’ve all been able to watch our children interact with other kids. We’re proud when they are generous. Our heart warms when they are kind. We gain confidence in our parenting skills when they show compassion.  We don’t want to see our child being the push over or the bullied. We want our children to [...]

Happy Easter

Today, the weather was beautiful. There was a light breeze. It was a cool and sunny 70 degrees. Everyone was bright and cheery, happy to celebrate the holiday in the warmth of Spring.
My family woke up sick with sinus colds. We are in the company of sneezes, dry throats, and snotty noses. Yep. If you [...]

Just to be sure

I should not ignore budgetary concerns and buy my daughter another tutu despite that she would live in this one if she could.
…and walks with the cutest little bounce in it.

Only Seemingly Simple

Today, I’m taking a break from designing andirons to pass the time doing more pertinent things like sifting through blogrolls and everything else that has absolutely nothing to do with work of any kind. By the way, I grew up in a place that did not require fireplaces. I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing [...]

Bountiful Cheers and Applause! Walking Straight Forward

Yesterday, my almost 10 month old started walking in a straight line. This is particularly exciting because, although he’s been moving his feet around the ground for about a month now, he’s only moved one foot at a time, taking him in circles across the floor. His trick was an almost complete 360 on one [...]
