I told one of the girls at daycare one day that if he tries to crawl, pick him up. If he tries to walk, push him down. Obviously, I wasn’t serious. I would never want anyone to hurt the little guy, but my point was that I wanted to be there to see it. I […]

  If you google “what to pack hospital bag,” you get approximately 4,870,000 results. I know this because I did it. I spent countless hours torturing myself during the last few months of my pregnancy – you know, trying to make sure I didn’t forget anything regardless of how seemingly meaningless and trivial that something […]

  We all do it… We procrastinate. We wait until we absolutely can’t wait any longer to do whatever it is that we need to do – there are so many other things we would prefer to be doing instead, and let’s face it – those are the things that usually take priority. Does letting […]

  Technology can be a god send when you’re stuck at the doctor’s office. What is it with these crazy wait times? They also come in handy on those long car rides when I just cannot bear to hear “Are we there yet?” one more time.  There are lots of situations when we are so […]

  I didn’t know that I was going to co-sleep.  My mom bought me a beautiful bassinet that we set up in our room weeks before our son was born.  I had every intention of using it. There were a lot of factors I hadn’t planned on and things I didn’t really comprehend before our […]

It’s amazing all the things that moms have to do; we are undoubtedly multi-taskers, by necessity more than by choice. No time is this more obvious than at five o’clock – the witching hour. The time when the kids have reached their limit from the day and yet dinner has to get on the table. […]

All Mom’s are not created equal, and all Mom’s have moments that they wish never happened. Unfortunately, our Mommy mishaps are inevitable and all we can do is forgive ourselves and move on. Here’s a list one Mom’s bloopers that she’s confessing and chalking them up to her “Top Mother Of The Year” Award Winning […]

  When I started dating my boyfriend, it was a learning experience.  My boyfriend has 4 children, ranging in ages from 8 to 15 (2 girls/2 boys); a different family dynamic entirely.  It was overwhelming at first to witness the scheduling and coordinating it takes to keep his house running vs. keeping mine running.  In […]

I believe the best role models are those in the child’s own life. But now let’s talk about those role models that they see on TV and in the media. They have a huge affect on our children growing up and what they may think is right or wrong based on how these celebrities act […]

  I have always been open with my daughter, now 17 years old.  From the time she started asking questions, I have told her that I will answer any question that she has, unless I honestly don’t know the answer or feel uncomfortable answering. The answers I gave depended on the question asked and her […]

I’ve thought a lot about President Obama’s recent State of the Union speech, and how well it would apply to my own “state”.  Would you like to hear my State of the Household speech? This is written for my daughter and my family. You’ll see what I mean on the next page 🙂

Over the past year, I have discovered that I love Twitter. I can 100% be myself in 140 characters or less.  I can post my views without hesitation, and if someone disagrees with me, one of two things will happen: we can have an adult, lively debate; or an all-out war with words. In my […]

  You know those women who go on and on about how much they love being pregnant? I’m convinced that those women are crazy. Not cute crazy, certifiably crazy.
