She’s ubiquitous. If you are a parent of young children, you probably own her. With my son, I coolly and fashionably held out, feeling rather non-conformist and above-the trend. Apparently, this one plastic animal and this one plastic animal alone, is able to allow your child’s teeth to develop at a normal rate. Thus, if you are […]
I Can’t Hear You!
I’m the first to admit that I’m near deaf. As soon as our budget can swing it, I’m so there with hearing aids. (This further lends to the fact that I am actually 105). In any case, it generally drives my husband nuts that I can hear nothing he says and that we have to […]
When Toys Don’t Shut Off…
The first time this happened, my son was about 8 mo. old and I had put him down for the night. My husband had gone wild and fled the house for the night to run errands, or some such elaborate affair. I was snuggled up in bed, happily reading my latest library book away when […]
The Proverbial Spot
What is the wet spot on Mommy’s clothing??? The not-remote possibilities include, but are not limited to: pee, runny poop, spit-up, vomit, formula, water, dirty water from the recycle bin, generic Zantac syrup, coffee, wine, diet coke, pureed sweet potatoes (or any fruit/veggie variation thereof [again including but not limited to], such as plums, peaches, […]
Vistaprint
We’ve got a problem. How did this even start? I’m not entirely sure why I, a SAHM, need business cards and an XL size magnet (think: one that you would stick on the side of your car) to promote my business (do I even have business??), but it’s FREE!!! So I order. And then I […]
Movie Night
This is just fun. First of all, it is rare. Secondly, undoubtedly one or the other of us has been saving up about 16,000 important tasks (bill paying, diaper-code entering, blog-stalking, etc.) that we need to perform on the computer for when we actually get a chance to sit down. So generally at least one […]
Crafty Ladies
In general, they terrify me. I am very suspicious of anyone who has the time to not only buy scrapbooking tools and art supplies, but who actually has the time to use them. Moreover, anyone who delights in cutting out small shapes and securing them to corresponding pages with glitter glue forces me to question […]
The Slippery Slope of Sin and Other Bed Issues
So in a continuation of yesterday’s post about our dog (and I promise to get off the canine train soon), he is further spoiled by being allowed to sleep on our bed with us at night. When we first got Bailey, he was not allowed out of the basement. Then he wasn’t permitted past the […]
Your Dog is Your First Child
In much happier times… Before we had our human children, our dog, Bailey, was truly our child. Now that I’ve actually birthed a couple of my own, the dog has become, well…more of a dog. This does not mean we don’t love Bailey–it just means we may have less elaborate canine birthday parties and less […]
When The Corelle Breaks…or not?
My totally amazing Christmas gift this year from my dad was a set of Corelle dishes. Our trusty old set that had seen us through 10.5 yrs. of marriage was, to put it politely, significantly lacking. Many pieces had broken and most of the rest were cracked or chipped. It was very handy to have […]
