So a little free advertising for Old Navy coming your way…Obviously, whoever is in charge of their marketing for the under 5 set, profiled me and designed their entire campaign of graphic tees to play on all my soft spots. Rainbow Brite, seriously? Awww…!! What female in her young 30s has not fallen in love […]
The Elusive Christmas Pic
We tried. And tried. And then tried some more. Despite our hot pursuit, the perfect Christmas picture with our children by the tree has again eluded us. The set up was gorgeous–my husband got out the blinding spotlight, we got the Christmas outfits on, and we shoved both children under the tree (this was our creative design […]
Toddler in a Hip Spica Cast
For all of my regular readers, you may want to just pass on this post. I’m diverting from my usual attempts at wit and humor to give a shout out to any other parents who might be madly tearing up Google in search of any insight on how to best handle a toddler in a […]
They are Multiplying!
A very bizarre scenario the other day…both of my children fell asleep for nap at the same time. Sleepless from the night before, I crashed on the couch for a blessed 5 minutes when I heard it. A cry. Not my daughter’s cry. Not my son’s cry. This was a cry I had never heard […]
Holiday Handy-Helper
So as any astute parent would observe, in the opening sequence to “Mickey Saves Santa Claus” (2006) the Handy Helper decorates the entire clubhouse in under 2 seconds without Mickey having to lift a finger. How do I get one of these?? If it’s a matter of selling myself out to become an animated cartoon […]
Giving Thanks
I don’t know if it’s possible to do a Thanksgiving blog post about how grateful you are for the many blessings you have in your life without sounding cheesy, but I don’t really care. I am indeed grateful and feel so lucky to have two beautiful, healthy children (albeit one encased in a fiberglass cast) […]
Chicken and Fries Crisis
Assuredly, I am the over-indulgent parent who gives in to her child’s demands way too easily. But when your sweet 2 yr. old little boy is lying there in a most-of-his body cast crying for his beloved “chicken and fries”, what is a Mom of the Year to do? Call her husband in a frenzied […]
We Love Stickers!
I would say that our home is bordering on sticker insanity, but I think we’ve already crossed over the line and are in a fully manic state. If you discount mice with very large black ears, stickers are arguably my son’s very favorite thing on this earth. And right now, it’s working for us because […]
105
This is my true age. You may not think this to look at me, but trust me. My hip has been going out on a regular basis, which makes walking insanely difficult. My husband has taken to calling me “Tin Man”, courtesy of my jerky walking style (flattering, I know). And I won’t even tell […]
