Wife On The Go

  Do you remember when you were a kid and you felt like you could go and go and go for a million miles or at least a million years? Gosh, and in your early 20s, life was a party and the party didn’t get started until about 10 o’clock at night! Well, you’re a […]

Sometimes I wonder if I’m really connected to this baby. This is my second baby. Am I as emotionally connected to this baby as I was my first? If not, can I change that?  All the books tell you to talk to your baby in utero. Talk to them, read to them, play music for […]

Have fun making a dry ice bubble that will grow and fill with fog. This experiment is fun and a great way to get kids interested in science and how things work. The bubble will grow and expand, and when it finally bursts it is a great thrill sure to induce fits of giggling and […]

I spent two years after my son was born being unhappy with my body. Before I got pregnant with my son, my first baby, I was skinny and tan. I loved shopping because everything fit me and the store always had my size. Nothing hugged my curves the wrong way. I had the coveted hour […]

It is different! When everyone was busy trying to convince me to have a second child, they kept telling me how different it would be the second time around. They kept telling me that every pregnancy is different and it could be different. I didn’t believe them at the time, but they were right. It […]

It hasn’t even been a year yet and I’ve already caught myself doing it on more than one occasion. It’s definitely not intentional. It just sort of happens. I’ll be thinking a completely random thought and then I catch myself saying something along the lines of “I can’t wait until he can crawl” or “I […]

I’ve spent a completely asinine amount of time on Pinterest lately looking for fun things that the little guy and I can do at home. It’s slightly addictive. There’s a never-ending list of things that you and your little one can make, build, and create. I really should stay away from that site, but that’s […]

I find it odd, at best, that my son is so well-behaved in public. I absolutely love being out and about with the little guy. Everyone thinks he’s the sweetest, most adorable, little human being that they’ve ever laid eyes on. It’s hilarious. I’m constantly getting told how perfect he is.  Sometimes, I so badly […]

As I slowly pack away the baby stuff, the realization hits me like a ton of bricks – my baby isn’t a baby these days. All of the boxes of newborn and baby clothes have made their way to my parents’ house – just in case. The rock ‘n play and the bouncer ended up […]

It’s always a gamble when the Tooth Fairy tries to sneak money under a child’s pillow in exchange for the tooth they lost.  The Tooth Fairy delicately slides his/her hand under their pillow, in hopes of not disturbing them during the exchange. Suddenly, the Tooth Fairy looks down to find them staring at you.  Busted!!! […]

We’ve decided to homeschool. We have lots of reasons that I won’t get into just now. That’s a completely different article after all. It wasn’t an easy decision. Many long talks and hurt feelings before we finally agreed that it was the right choice for us. Now that we’ve decided, I’m getting excited! There are […]

Have you seen the article floating around the internet about naps? A recent study “proves” that naps aren’t necessary for kids after age two and may actually have a negative effect on their sleep overall. I call bologna on that one. Total bologna!  In fact, I’ve got a lot to say to the crazy scientist […]

Sometimes, I question what I want to remember – I wonder if I’m doing it all wrong. Are 500 or so pictures of my baby’s first Christmas too many? What about the literally thousands of pictures of our day-to-day? How many pictures can you actually take of one baby sleeping or eating or playing?  Have […]

For working moms, one of the biggest challenges doesn’t happen at home.  It happens in the workplace.  Even though the people you work with are supposed grown-ass adults, do they ever resemble children, in your opinion?   Do they not get the concept of sharing?   Why can’t they play nice?  Do they “tattle” on […]

Not sure if the cold and snow is getting to me, but I am becoming very short-tempered waiting for Spring to arrive.  Tired of the lack of sunlight, sick of snow, tired of school being delayed or cancelled.   Seems I’m not the only one.  I posed the “pet peeve” question to my Facebook posse […]
