Rugrats

Next week I am going to do the unthinkable. I am going to forgo the gym for some family quality time. It is our only full week without camp or school, so I decided to take the time to participate in some summer fun activities. I’d like to say it’s because I am SUCH a good mom that I am […]

A couple of weeks ago I got an email from another mom saying that her son talks about my son all the time and wants to have a play date. Huh???? You talking about my kid?!?! So let me understand you correctly, my kid talked about poop and farts so much that he made your kid laugh. Your kid came […]

A friend of mine just had her third child and I found myself reminiscing. I’m not sure at this point that I’d like to go back to December 20 but I’m finally so very happy with where we are…as a family of five. /> These seven months have been intense.

How can I possibly handle three mobile beings? But now that he’s a mere eight days away from the seven month mark, I’m starting to feel […]

Why is it that every two/three year old reaches a point where their brain says “no, I don’t need a nap today” but their body says “YES, I need sleep!!!” When Drew finally gave up his nap, he never looked back. He would destroy his room and disturb his sleeping sister, so it became clear cut that “quiet time” would […]

Happy 3rd birthday to my beautiful, smart, spunky little person. I know this has been a hard and exciting year for you. You had to learn to share your mommy with our new baby, but you have also learned to be a little mommy to our baby. The love and enthusiasm you give to Noah is so sweet and special. […]

Why do I do this to myself? Do I suffer from such inner conflict that I purposely try to inflict pain on myself? This upcoming weekend I am having close to 50 kids at my house for a joint (Gabby and Drew) birthday party. Why would any human being do that to themself? Am I above a facility with moonwalks […]
