My son had colic when he was a newborn. The “really awful, screamed for stretches of 48 hrs. straight, fussed around the clock, and never slept for more than 20 min. at a time (and then only if you held him)” kind of colic. It was truly the darkest time of my life. And then, […]
The Sunshine Award
When two of awesome fellow bloggers nominated me for the Sunshine Award, it was definitely time to get on board and pass this very cool award along! This award is great because it’s purpose is to “positively and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere”, which is always a good thing! Personally, I can use all […]
Guesting on Confessions of Semi-Domesticated Mama: Letter to My Teenage Self
You’ve heard me rave before about the very awesome Delilah at Confessions of a Semi-Domesticated Mama. This summer she is hosting a cool guest-post series Letters to My Teenage Self. As you might imagine, this can open up a Pandora’s box of nostalgia. I had so much fun writing my post. Head on over there […]
You Know Mommy is on a Diet When…
All of you who have ever dieted (so, okay, everybody except those naturally scarily skinny people we don’t like anyway), will get this. Mommy is trying to diet, and it’s not necessarily a pleasant time for anybody in the house. I’m all for accepting your body as it is, but I had really reached an unhealthy situation. […]
Babies ‘R Us: The Monday Review
If I had to pick one place on this earth that I instantaneously want to shoot myself upon entering, it would have to be Babies ‘R Us. I myself registered there, continue to shop there for baby needs on occasion, and unarguably, they have the largest selection of baby stuff contained in any one store. The […]
A Little Affirmation
All of you parents out there know exactly what I’m talking about. After reminding your child for the 228th time in the same morning that no, he can’t smear peanut butter in his sister’s hair, he must say thank you and hand-washing post-potty isn’t optional, you wonder if ANYTHING is sinking in. You wonder […]
Can I Quit My Job to Start a Blog?
I’m sure you’ve all seen it, but the Oscar Meyer commercial where the mom answers “no” to everything makes me giggle. The part when the husband asks his wife if he can quit his job to start a blog makes my BIL roll with laughter because he just thinks of my poor husband, currently blindsided […]
Let the Games Begin!
So, you may have noticed my 50 billion references in the past few months to the Summer Games. Not that I’m obsessed or anything…I have a long-standing love affair with the Olympics. Some of my fondest memories of our early marriage are from when we didn’t have cable and only got NBC in our apartment […]
300th Post
Apparently the thing to do in the blogging world is to write 100 things about yourself on your 100th post. Somehow I totally missed this, and now find myself looking at my 300th post. DON’T PANIC!! No, I am not going to write 300 things about myself. Honestly, I’m thinking I won’t even be able […]
Deconstructing the Mothership
The time had come. My obscenely huge Kalencom weekender diaper bag had to go. One of my very first posts of this blog, All Hail the Mothership, was dedicated to this beast of a bag. She served me and my family so well, for so many months, but the time had come for her to retire. […]
