This story is 100% guaranteed to be 0% embellished, no creative license taken, and absolutely true.

Yesterday was the Holiday Sing-along at my daughter’s school. I dropped her at the usual time then returned home to get myself and my son ready to go to see the show. We returned to school, late as usual. Parking [...]

A quick (and 100% true) story:

 

 

My daughter made a beautiful piece of art in school yesterday (yes, I know…every kid makes 'beautiful' art in preschool). It was one of those cool art projects that I can remember doing and being excited about when I was in preschool 522 years ago. Remember these: you would [...]

A brief peek into a conversation this morning:

 

Daughter: "Mommy, you look so pretty today!"

Me: "Thank you sweetheart, that is very sweet of you to say."

Daughter: "Daddy thinks you're pretty too!"

Me: "AWWWWWW… I love  you both so much!"

Daughter (yelling to the other room): "Daddy, can I have my quarter now?"

 

True story. My life is glamorous.
I [...]

That headline might, at first glance, seem like a funny story about my son. Alas, no.

It IS however, a funny story about my 3 year-old daughter. While I was busy making dinner last night, my daughter yelled that from across the room. I whipped my head around, completely unsure of what I was about [...]

Ok, so in the grand scheme of things, this is not the most earth-shattering question ever. But still… when do you stop calling your baby a ‘baby’? My son is 18 months-old. He technically IS the baby since he is the youngest and I won’t be having any more children. But he far from a [...]

So, this will be a post that either you identify with or you are pissed off by. Either way… here goes.
You know what pisses me off?  People (men, women, parents, non-parents, ‘experts’) fretting over moms who seem to be drinking more, moms who are drinking *gasp* around their children. Seriously? You are worried that moms [...]

I love to sneak in on my 18 month-old son while he is waking up from nap. He lays there and ‘talks’ to things in his room, plays with his stuffed giraffe, and just generally looks freakin’ adorable. So when I heard him waking up this afternoon, I quietly went in to watch him. Not [...]

When I was pregnant with my second child, I lost my stomach for television. I couldn’t watch news (too depressing), drama (too violent, too sappy), politics (too tense), sports (too much time), reality TV (too stupid), or comedy (well, not completely, but mostly). What did I watch? Documentaries. I became a HUGE fan of the [...]

GAH! Why, for the love of all that is good in the world, doesn’t my son have a regular sleeping pattern?
 
Some days he will sleep until 7:30. Some days he wakes at 6:15. Some days he sleeps until 8:00 (but never on the mornings I get to sleep in). Some nights he [...]
