When I was pregnant with Gummy and all happy and rosy-cheeked, I had a brilliant idea. An idea that I thought was brilliant at the time. I had seen on many blogs, and probably on Pinterest, how moms would take these amazing monthly photos of their infants. With chalkboards, with pieces of a calendar spread … Continue reading »
I really planned on having some posts between Fridays, but you know how life happens. Baby has developed a fascination with the trash. Putting random objects in the trash can has become her favorite. The trash can is too big to fit under the kitchen sink, so I’ve done my best to not let it … Continue reading »
We have a new segment, because what good is a Friday if you can’t get drunk and tell people shit that you probably shouldn’t?! Except I am sharing this stuff with you completely sober! Yay! * * * * I’ll admit it. I pretty much let my kid have … Continue reading »
Some days I’m able to easily do an hour of yoga in the living room while she takes her morning nap. Days she decides not to take a full nap are meant for hair pulling – of all sorts. We’re having a bit of a difficult day.
I have the cutest accidental picture that I got of Little Man when he was about 10-12 months old. He’s standing at the bathtub, naked, and looking back at me smiling – anxiously awaiting his bath. It was so adorable, that I put it in a frame and it stayed in his bathroom for years. … Continue reading »
Sleep training has begun. My No Cry Sleep Solution book finally came in last week and with Mike being out-of-town until today, I figured that it was a perfect time to read the book and put the strategies to work. I assumed that it would be a stressful event and having just one of us stressed … Continue reading »
I have a 7 month old that won’t sleep. Scratch that. I have a child that will not go to sleep without her pacifier, who wants to play in her crib instead of nap in it, and sleeps – only if I’m holding her or laying next to her in my bed. If I hold her to … Continue reading »
While capturing her monthly picture this weekend (a few weeks late), I captured the true essence of my daughter. It’s kind of scary.
First and foremost, I don’t know if you’ve noticed – probably not, since I’ve been really sucking on the posting lately – there’s a little link off to the right that will take you to my new Facebook page. I gave in. So…if you’re a Facebooker, like me, go give it a like. I can’t guarantee a … Continue reading »
This pretty much sums up mine and Gummy’s relationship lately. I must be in eyesight, but she would pretty much prefer to just wrap herself around an arm or hand. Constantly. I gave birth to a cuddly monkey, y’all. Or judging by the size of her feet, she could also be a Hobbit.
I am borderline obsessed with baby headbands. No, I am not one of those moms that carried an intricately knitted masterpiece in my overnight bag at the hospital – just waiting for the moment when I could take my little girl’s first picture – for the baby headband to be exposed in all its glory. NO. My obsession … Continue reading »
It’s been a week of sickness. Everyone in the house had (or still has) a cold, including baby. The husband made a joke last Saturday that if he didn’t make breakfast on the weekends, then we’d all be making cereal for ourselves. Evidently I’m not a breakfast maker…or a morning person. I just like when he makes breakfast. It’s also … Continue reading »
It’s Friday! I had a few blog posts planned for this week, but didn’t get around to them, like most things on my to-do list. Around here we’re knee-deep in getting the big kids ready for the first day of school on Monday, helping the baby discover her giggle, and Instagramming. It’s how we roll. So, … Continue reading »
