If the last 48 hours are any indication I’d say the answer is yes. First, while enjoying some time in mommy’s bed Everly took a header off the bed. Scraped her spine on the bedside table and then lay in a crying crumpled mess on the floor next to the bed. The result: a six...

Everly, Sorry we’ve been irritated about your consistant 2am crying that you blamed on your radio, Sweetpea. We thought you were waking and turning it on for attention. Little did we know, your radio alarm was set and it was startling you awake each night this week. That sure explains why you came bolting up...

Before the days of babies and backyard chickens I couldn’t fathom explaining things like where babies come from or that we eat animals for dinner. These discussions must be horribly crushing for children, right? “Yes, Sally. Our yummy bacon did come from Babe, so to speak. We eat pigs, cows, chickens, etc…” I think, for...

This is a totally unprofessional, explicit post. Read at your own risk or simply move on Actually, today is his birthday if I remember correctly… Happy birthday gay ex -boyfriend! Hun, I hope you are having lots of catty, diva fun and that you’ve acquired all you aspired to in life. Even if you had...

I don’t usually subscribe to the idea of New Year’s resolutions. I don’t like the idea that only once a year you  should resolve to do something to improve yourself or your life.

I’m writing this post today with my Dragon Dictation Software. I have to say the learning curves has sure been interesting. I also think it’s interesting that it’s much more difficult to compose a blog entry this way. For whatever reason typing words as I think them is somehow easier than just talking about what...

I should start out by giving some background here. A few bloggers (here and here) are a buzz about parenting choices and being judgmental and it kind of ticks me off a bit. I am not ticked off because they are okay with things like cry-it-out or because she admitted to NOT breastfeeding or blindly...

I look at you and see this amazing little person. You are not a baby anymore, not physically and not mentally. Your intuition is something else and I hope you never lose your drive to press ahead and to forge your own path. You’ve always seemed to have your own pace and time table for...

Picture this: In the kitchen I stand, discussing trip logistics with Nathan. While discussing the need, or lack thereof for a portable potty chair we hear this terrible scraping and thumping above us. “Is a cat falling off the loft wall again?” We halt our discussions to look above us for falling cats. A few...

Teething infants are so sad. Right now Miss Adalyn is not a happy camper at all. She’s been showing signs of teething for about a month now. She is a feisty one too. Even more than her red-headed sister. Holding her doesn’t work, she gets even more upset when you try rubbing her back or...
