My inbox is always filled with offers and deals for photo canvases, and while I love, love pictures and think the canvases seem so cool, I have held out. It truly isn’t the cost–somehow, much to the chagrin of my husband, my brain and budget manage to conform themselves around whatever my photo “needs” currently […]
Not Perfect
I’m not perfect…nor even close. Shock!, I know. The thing of it is–this parenting gig is hard, hard work. No, I don’t love scouring down the high chair seat 100x/day or packing a diaper bag the size of the Titanic every time we have to leave the house. So I take the “helps” wherever I […]
She Turned the Hose On Me
Okay, perhaps, it was the shower head, but regardless, it’s pretty impressive that my 13 mo. old daughter managed to drench me. SourceThe Not-so Innocent Vessel of Destruction(forgive me, in the midst of my crisis, I didn’t think to stop and take an original picture of Mommy in drowned-rat mode) The scene: Girlfriend was having a horrendously fussy day and […]
A Dollhouse to Die For…
Dolls, Dolls, Dolls. When I found out I was having a girl, I panicked. Largely because of Barbie Dolls. They scare me. I really just didn’t feel like having a house full of plastic boobs. My husband and I discussed the possibility of banning Barbie from our home, and while I hope this is possible, […]
Why I “Have It Like That”
It’s pretty easy to constantly rag on the overwhelmingly difficult task of rearing young children, but there are definitely some highlights of my gig that shouldn’t be overlooked… I’ve got a ready-made posse. And I don’t even have to pay them. My two children and my dog apparently have no conception of a life outside of a […]
I’m Pretty Sure My Husband Lives in Awe of Me
Honestly, if I lived with The Mom of the Year, I would probably be a little intimated too. I’m pretty sure when my husband greets me with a wary face upon his return home from work it has nothing to do with the screaming children or toys strewn all over the house–he’s just in awe […]
Hanging on the Porch & Cohosting Monday Mom Musings
Wha-whaa?? Jelli from Jellibean Journals wanted to co-host her weekly link-up, Monday Mom Musings, with me? Seriously, I know I’m The Mom of the Year ;), but this was a huge honor, the likes of which this little blog has never seen! Important enough that I was willing to suspend my weekly Monday Review series–I […]
What’s With the Judgement?
Seriously people, can we just get over this judging-other-parents thing? (Disclaimer: this is most definitely an overdone post–deal.) Obviously, if it affects me directly (as Patricia at The Worst Mom Ever so perfectly described, as in, you drop your multiple children at my house unannounced, we may have a problem), or if it potentially scars […]
One of These Things Is Not Like the Other
The further I get into this world of kids, the more I realize how incredibly different each child is. No two kids are even close to being alike. I see it when we are around other families, and I see it in my own house. My own two children are vastly different from each other. […]
Chatting It Up at the Dinner Table
We’ve got some awesome dinnertime conversation going on right now. When you never really leave the house, things can become “a bit limited.” Outside of my husband, son, daughter, and dog, the primary players in my life right now are Mickey Mouse and the mail lady (though, in an uncharacteristic expansion of his repertoire, my […]
