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 [...]

Researchers are likening junk food junkies to heroin junkies; like I need fuel to add to my twisted rationale that enables me to make bowls of icing on demand. Now I’m fighting an addiction.
Have I mentioned my intense appreciation for the smooth, creamy sweet texture of icing? Oh, how I can imagine spiraling crunchy sprinkles [...]
Everybody wins

Not to sound all Super Mom because that, I most definitely am not, but on a day like today when the children are failing to break the routine and proceeding to need caring for no matter what state their mother is in, a 15 minute ‘get over yourself break’ is all that is needed.
Fifteen [...]

16 and Pregnant? MTV, try Pregnant and it doesn’t matter what age you are, it all drives you bat shit.
Yeah, I love the babies. Their little faces are so cute I can’t be mad at them when they’re stomping on my computer or making messes only rivaled by demolished buildings. I’m so smitten with my [...]
I cause all the bad.

My daughter drew a picture of a scary story. A baby, who was pushed by a witch, was falling from a tree as his sister was waiting on the ground to catch him. Thank you, nursery rhymes. After telling me the story, she named the characters with a delighted little smile on her face. [...]
Is it really this easy?

I’m going to prelude this by saying that Rachel has always been a veggie eater. Broccoli was one of her first snack foods. However, like any kid, she is a finicky eater. A favorite food one day is hardly edible the next. Anything to keep my nerves from ever fully resting, right?”
Rachel- “I don’t want [...]
The ongoing struggle to fit in and not spill over

I’ve renewed my zest for cucumbers, my secret weapon and all time best weight loss tool. Now, I just have to buy some so I can fill up on their 15 calorie goodness instead of multiple slices of 100+ calorie wheat bread.
Despite the birthday weekend, I was doing good on the eating front leading up [...]
Celebrating a half decade of life.

I wasn’t even paying attention. These past 18 months, I was so lost in the haze of being pregnant and then taking care of a newborn that I hardly noticed my little girl grew into my big girl. I knew it was happening. Like a jerk, I didn’t even look up. She was the picture [...]
I’m going to fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans (one day)

Just to give a nice little background story, I gained 65lbs during my first pregnancy which I lost every single pound of, plus more. I went from 120lbs to 185lbs and down to 105lbs. You know how I did it? By not being an asshole, that’s how.
There are no tricks to losing weight. Calories in [...]
My son loves me <- this much ->

My little bouncing baby boy was so happy to be in my arms after whine-crying for me to pick him up, he squirted out a whole muddy puddle of poo onto my shirt.
In reaction, I wiped it off with a baby wipe, folded my shirt up as to not touch the spot, and sat down [...]
