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 […]
The Dull Lull
Usually, I always feel sort of a post-holiday low. All the fun and excitement is past. But then I saw this picture, and suddenly boring wasn’t looking so bad. In fact, it was looking pretty good. In fact, it was looking down-right AWESOME. This picture was taken right before we loaded the van to depart […]
The Fine Line…
So, can someone just define the fine line of child abuse, once and for all?? Seriously, put down the phone in your panicked call to the authorities and hear me out…what exactly constitutes abuse? As in, if your 5 mo. old daughter is screaming/crying/fussing at the top of her little lungs for several hours on […]
