Babies are adorable and awesome and snuggly. You could spend all day staring at them. And in the beginning, you do. Happily. But then, you realize that you can’t simply stare at them all the time, and for the love of God, what do you do with them all day long? That’s probably the […]
Little Miss Independent Made Mommy Cry
Well, to my credit, I didn’t actually cry…but I came close. I took my 13-month-old daughter to a mommy-and-me music class last Thursday. We had taken one in the spring, and it was such a lovely bonding time—just the two of us, without big brother siphoning off any of the attention. […]
Friday Favorites: Vitafive Vitamins and a Coupon for You!
This post contains an affiliate link. I am tired. So tired. I feel like this is kind of redundant because I’m a mom and you know that already. But here’s why I’m bringing it up (again): Because for one full week, I looked great. My skin was glowing, […]
Parenting: Irony, Puke and Silver Linings
Less than an hour after I hit “publish” on a post about unexpectedly perfect parenting days, my daughter started puking. And she kept puking for the rest of the night. I got maybe two hours of sleep, and for a full 24 hours, our apartment reeked of an unholy combination of […]
Perfect Parenting Days Are Nothing Like You Think
Parenting can really beat the crap out of you some days. But on most days, you’re just moving along—happily, quickly, crazily. It can all be a bit of a blur. But then there are the other days. The magical unicorn days that you’d hoped parenting would be filled with. I’m not talking about the […]
Friday Favorites: Kleynimals
I hate germs. I realize that no one likes germs, but some of us like them a whole lot less than others. Some of us cringe at the 10-second rule. Some of us panic when our kid picks up another kid’s drooled-on toy or drinks out of someone else’s cup. […]
Reflections on My First Year As a Mom of Two
One month ago, my baby turned 1. How this is possible, I have no idea, because I feel like I was pregnant about half a minute ago. But that’s the crazy thing about being a mom of two, isn’t it? Time flies in the most frightening way possible. Also, excuse my language, but holy […]
Holy Crap, I Have a Toddler
I recently asked the moms on my Facebook page how much longer I could refer to my baby as my baby. When my daughter hit the 11-month mark, I started to get e-mails from baby companies saying that toddlerhood was here, and I balked, saying that it was absolutely not and that I wanted […]
Featured on HuffPo: The Terrifying Thing I Taught My Preschooler
Don’t pick up your sister! This is my refrain. Every morning, afternoon and night. My sweet 4-year-old loves his little sister so much, and it is beyond sweet. I just wish he didn’t want to pick her up all the time. She just turned 1, […]
This Is a Post About Nothing
That headline makes my life sounds like a Seinfeld episode. Some days, it feels like it. Only instead of Kramer, I’ve got a crazy 4-year-old. But it’s about more than just having a preschooler with unruly hair. It’s that there always seems to be nothing going on and everything going on […]
