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 […]
Oh. No. He. Didn’t.
One night/morning over the holidays, we got home from our travels at 3am. After finally falling asleep around 4:30am, I woke up early with the baby to let my husband sleep in. Rocking only a couple hours of sleep, I was beyond exhausted. So when my husband volunteered to run errands with the baby in […]
The Bath
I celebrated my husband’s last day off work before returning to work by taking a bath. I know many of you, especially those with young kids, might not know what this is. Let me explain–that large empty basin-like thing in your bathroom?? No? Don’t have time to go look? Just trust me on this one, […]
Move Aside, Tiny Tim
No we didn’t have a Dickens-style Christmas miracle, but we did ring in 2012 with something pretty cool–my son took his first independent steps today, 65 days after his femur break. Sure, it was definitely an elderly man-esque shuffle and no one yelled out, “God bless us everyone!”, but it was definitely a very cool […]
The It List
Going the route of my BFF Mindy Kaling (as established in last week’s post), who is big on making lists on her blog of her favorite things, I am sharing the top ten of what was hot on the SAHM scene in 2011: 1. Lee Slender Secret jeans. This is the miraculous pair of jeans […]
A Rockin’ New Year’s Eve
Screw Dick Clark, or as we now have it, Ryan Seacrest. We are so schooling midnight by ringing in the new year at 5pm. This is how parents of young children kick it. Aunt A and Uncle Jeremy have been kind enough to swing open the doors to their rockin’ New Year’s Eve party early […]
Grooming the Dog
My dog just endured his annual Christmas spa day last week. He is still not speaking to us. In preparation for the big day, he was brushed, bathed, brushed again, had his ears cleaned and his nails cut. After each individual event, he was given multiple treats and heavily praised. Umm…what did I do wrong? […]
