You don’t, plain and simple. While your first child never ate sugar until they were 16 and didn’t see a television set until they were well established in elementary school, I think my 4 mo. old daughter already has a crush on Minnie Mouse and is well versed on anything Disney…Sure, a perfect nap and […]
Duggar Style
So whichever side of the proverbial Duggar fence regarding their sanity in having 20 children you lie on, this woman is fascinating. I am currently reading their second book, A Love That Multiplies, and flat-out, I’m impressed. Where to begin…obviously, the major stuff wows me. Their children are polite, happy, and help out around the […]
The Fear of Santa Claus…
This is an amazing and hysterical way to scare your children into good behavior: http://www.portablenorthpole.tv/home Takes a little bit, but is worth it. This is what we came up with for Isaac, check it out if you have some of that oh-so-plentiful free time :): http://www.portablenorthpole.tv/watch/mrxDHyhjaLUqya1X2SU6Vsw
Children’s Clothing
I seriously wish someone would have told me before having kids that I would need an advanced degree in children’s clothing. The amount of time and effort I spend addressing their attire needs is astonishing. I swear that there is a special skill set required for figuring out how to put on some of their […]
The AngelCare Monitor
Our daughter is a stomach sleeper. I know, (gasp), shock, horror…we are awful parents. My very colic-ridden son was too, and after we quickly figured out this is the ONLY way we could get him to sleep longer than 5 minutes at a time (literally), we became Those Parents, standing in line at Babies R […]
The Lure of the Graphic Tee
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 […]
