A quarter the way through…

December 10, 2012

We are deep in the trenches of Chanukah, a couple of big bashes under our belt. With weeks of prepping on appropriate gift receiving behavior, I’d venture to say my kids have been sufficiently gracious through our first two tests. (Read about my feelings of dread here) It didn’t hurt that I used bribery, or a reward system as I’d […]

Docashay???

December 5, 2012

Some kids have imaginary friends. I’m sure there are times that it is perfectly innocent. But there are also times kids develop imaginary friends to mask their worries, their insecurities or be some sort of shield for some underlying pain. My son speaks a foreign language. I’m not bragging about his ability to speak Spanish, Mandarin, or Hebrew in addition […]

Labor?!?!

December 4, 2012

I’m one of those people who cannot read that pamphlet that Walgreens provides with your prescription. The mere suggestion of a potential side effect and I can almost guarantee that I will become symptomatic. So now that I am just about 36 weeks pregnant, I’m having the nervous feeling that I am going to go into labor at any moment. […]

Job Responsiblities

December 3, 2012

Nap time has turned into a tug of war. I say nap, she’s says no. Sounds like a normal debate with a toddler. However, sleepiness has over-ruled two out of three nap offerings. Fortunately every night she has slept, as she should. So all in all I would rate our conversion to Gabby’s big girl bed a success. As much […]

She’s getting a promotion!

November 30, 2012

I’m changing my perspective. It’s not that Gabby is being booted out of babyhood. It’s that Gabby is getting a promotion. She is getting the opportunity to be promoted to big girl status. And although her eagerness out of the world of baby seems a little less enthusiastic than I had hoped, I think she will rise to the occasion. […]

4 Year Old Gratitude

November 29, 2012

I am not a fan of the holiday season. I’m not the Grinch or anything. It’s not that I don’t like getting or receiving presents. It’s that my kids, mainly Drew, do not need much encouragement to act like a complete spoiled brats and this season perpetuates it to the umpteenth! I’m no saint in this story. I want him […]

A Picture Says a Million Words

November 28, 2012

The truth is that I really like my husband. I definitely love him like I’m supposed to but I also really like him. And sometimes it takes a picture like this to make you see it captured so beautifully in front of you. This was taken courtesy of Ben and Sarit’s wedding (thanks guys) where we had the rare opportunity […]

Change

November 26, 2012

We had an excellent weekend. It wasn’t because we went on vacation or did anything extraordinary. We managed to have a perfect amount of plans and a surprisingly great amount of unstructured downtime. Sunday the blues started though. Today I woke up utterly exhausted and feeling unready to conquer the week. Then I remembered what Mondays used to be like, […]

It’s not glamorous, but it’s all mine!

November 23, 2012

Days like this where a lot of the world has a vacation day and my husband is at work so I am left to have anything but a vacation day (kids without school or activities), I am reminded how thankful I am for being a stay at home mom. Better yet, I am thankful that I belong to Lifetime Fitness […]

Mommy’s Two Cents

November 22, 2012

How’s that blogging thing going? People ask me this all the time. I’m not exactly rolling in the moola from blogging…so if that’s how you’d gauge my success than it’s not going well. Blogging, however, has given me so much! First of all, I’m constantly overwhelmed and surprised that anyone reads what I have to say. I’m so grateful for […]
