Today is a momentous occasion in our home–it is 7:43am and both of my children are still sleeping. I can probably count on one hand the number of times my son has slept past 7am in his short life. When this rare event does happen, there is cause for incredible rejoicing. My husband went into […]
Birth Control
This is a shout out to my sister and BIL who return home tonight from their honeymoon (you’ll recall, I have my second vacation of the year planned in the airport parking lot. Considering taking some of my son’s glow sticks from his Halloween stash to set a relaxing mood as I dive into my […]
Picture People Math
I will readily admit that I am That Mom who is obsessed with pictures of her kids, in all seasons, situations, etc. Plus, I’ve got the $18 for 25 pictures coupon to one of my favorite places on this earth, Picture People. So off we go this morning to get Halloween pictures taken. I’ll just […]
Keeping Rein on Your Child
Yesterday we went to Weaver’s Orchards in Morgantown and had a lovely time picking a pumpkin, taking a hayride, and checking out all of the fun fall activities they had set up for kids–seriously a great place. In between breathing in the crisp fall air and taking in all the sights and sounds, we spent […]
I Can’t Understand What My Toddler Is Saying
Our 2 yr. old son is working very hard on talking, and I think he’s doing great. At least several times a day, however, he starts to say something, we absolutely cannot figure out what he’s trying to communicate, and he gets very frustrated.

So it may be a little early in the blog to start with the blatant endorsement of TV shows, but there are clearly two winners this fall that make me LOL, which is always a very, very good thing in my world. Especially if you are a parent (but they easily work for those without kids too), […]
All Hail the Mothership
The Mothership is a wonderful Kalencom weekender bag that I purchased soon after I learned I was pregnant with my second child. When it arrived, my husband about passed out from the sheer size of this beautiful beast, told me I had to return it and has refused to ever carry it. I love it. […]
Vacationing to the Grocery Store
Don’t plan to normally post multiple times in the same hour, but I keep thinking of stuff that makes me laugh and my son is napping, so… This year for vacay I decided to go all out and went to Giant at 4am without kids. Yesterday morning after waking at 2am to take my sister […]
A Day in the Life
Currently, it’s 12:17pm and my 2 yr. old son is still in his pj’s and mostly tinted blue from the lollypop I bribed him with earlier this morning to keep him busy. My 2 mo. old daughter is crapping through her second outfit of the day, and I just greeted a fellow mom in our […]
