… although if I called him “old” he’d probably be angry with me. (He turns 50 in a week and half… shhh…I personally think he’s in his prime. Meanwhile, he’s trying to ignore this milestone…) He comes to town often for business and I used to work with his lovely wife, who I ADORE, and…
Sending out an S.O.S. (Save Our Sleep!)
Baby girl is now 10 months old as of today. And no, I don’t want to talk about it. (as in “time has gone WAY to fast and I can’t believe I am already having to think about her first birthday”, talk about it…) And actually, yes I do. She’s wonderful. She’s smart. She’s gorgeous…
How I Birthed and Fed My Babies, Judge Me NOT
I’ve read MANY posts on this topic or ones related to it since I’ve been blogging. But I don’t think I’ve ever put mine out there. Lately I’ve felt like I’ve been “judged” by the way I brought my children into this world and the way I’ve nourished their bodies. Not necessarily here but in…
Are Three Kids Too Many?
Tim left today for a ‘business trip’ in which he got to go back ‘home’ and see old co-workers and some family. And don’t even think about trying to find me to rob my house or anything, now that you know this because I have mean, scary neighbors with big guns. I don’t really know…
A Mother Is… Alphabet Style
A Mother is…Adorned with the badges of motherhood.Laundress: CheckChauffeur: CheckCounselor: CheckChef:CheckPersonal Hygienist (i.e. toenail trimmer, bather): Check Beautiful. I don’t necessarily mean drop dead gorgeous (although many are). I just think any mother who is kind and loving to her children is beautiful.Conflicted. When we’re with our children sometimes we wish we were somewhere else….
I Kinda Wanted to Name This Post “She Sucks” But That Sounds Bad.
Katie Boo-sie Boo-sie Boo (my latest nickname for her) likes the paci. See, neither of the boys were pacifier kids so this isn’t something that I’m accustomed to. And yes, it has it’s advantages, like being able to stick in in her mouth while she’s playing on a blanket outside knowing that with it inserted…
Who’s Your Baby?
When a baby is born out of our womb and comes into our lives there’s nothing else like it in the world. We’ve waited with so much anticipation for so many months to see their face and marvel at the miracle that is their tiny body. But even as we do, we don’t quite “know”…
BEHIND…

Perhaps I Jinxed it
I bought bottle brushes before Baby K was born. I felt I didn’t get the best help in the hospital. I guess I didn’t work hard enough with the nipple shield and other apparatus. I posted early on that it wasn’t working. And it’s STILL not. I cried the other day, and HARD. My little…
Yesterday I…
* Pumped over 20 ounces of breast milk * changed 8 or so diapers * did a load of laundry (wash and dry – no, it’s not folded yet) * made dinner (okay frozen pizza and veggies, but still, we ate) * read a few blogs and commented when possible * baked Halloween Blondies (recipe…
