Previous to having a baby, I had no idea my body had this “feature.” I’m not completely dense, I had heard the rumors. But I didn’t exactly realize that I would become a human vending machine for my children. I had no idea to what capacity that meant. I stick my boob in a kid’s mouth and they get nourishment? […]

Saturday we bit the bullet and did it. We piled up all the size five diapers and trashed them. We crossed into the world of underpants without looking back. And so far the world of underpants is, well, rather shitty. With the recommendation of some of my wonderful readers (thanks guys!), we tried the “3 Day Potty Training” approach. First […]

Are five days in a row my threshold or are my kids absolute monsters? And I’d like to give the excuse that it’s harder because I have three kids now but honestly Noah has been nothing but luggage when we shuffle around town. In the early evening (a.k.a the witching hourS) is a different story but during the day, he’s […]

Each time I get something “back” from my old, post newborn, life, I’m feeling more at ease with this new life. This week I have gone back to my errand world. And as nice as it was to hibernate (and not so nice at times), I’m happy to be able to take care of stuff myself. No more trying to […]

My title should be changed from Mother to Butt Cleaner. I’m changing diapers like it’s my job. Although it is part of the job responsibilities, I’m not sure it should monopolize my day quite to the level it does. It feels like at times I single handedly support these diaper companies and could pretty much write a thesis on the […]

Quite near literally since I’m changing diapers around the clock. Someone call somebody…action must be done. I am alone with three kids!!! Um…yeah, you have three kids. But today starts the first day of literally having three kids by my lonesome. Huh? Since her retirement and the addition of my third child, I have enlisted my mom as slave labor. […]

Time is such a funny thing. How in some ways something could seem like it went so fast, yet you can’t remember life before. That pretty much sums up the last seven weeks, which I’m afraid will become the last seven years…seventeen years, etc. before I know it. As much as people tell me to enjoy the moment, it’s hard […]
