No, not the name of some hot new mom band on the scene, although that would be awesome.* I’m referring to the phenomena that happens when parents get beyond the super-young-kid stage. In my experience, they fall in one of two categories: those who remember how hard and painful it is and those who forget. […]
Pre-school Sign-up
Don’t laugh. This is serious, serious business for the SAHM. Here is my dilemna: I am in love with the Bible study we attend on Thurs. mornings. I feel that my son is too young to attend preschool 3 days/week in addition to his nursery class at said Bible study. Ergo, pursuing the rare 2 […]
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, […]
The Ubiquitous 5th Grade Graduation Pic
Apparently there are now graduations for every occasion from the completion of the baby nursery at church to the celebration of doctorate degrees. Knowing this, if my children choose to go on to graduate school, I anticipate attending an average of 19 commencement ceremonies per child (poor Grandma and Grandpa having to sit through that many tedious […]
And you just don’t care as much…
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 […]
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 […]

10 Ways NOT to Raise Your Toddler This is courtesy of my MIL. Made me laugh out loud. Whoever Mira Jacob is, I’m her new biggest fan 🙂
Juice! Juice!
Direct shout out to my friend K for reminding me how much I wanted to write about this hot topic 🙂 Except in my house, it’s more like “Joooosss! JOOOSSSS!” The intensity and depth of my toddler’s obsession with juice is astounding to me. The entire household has been brought down countless times with ginormous […]
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 […]
The Best TV Shows for Parents of Young Kids
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), […]
