Admittedly, I was not prepared for a lot of things when it came to becoming a mother, but the insane amount of noise has got to be the most frustrating. I did not know that from sun up to sun down chitter chatter, mumbo jumbo and other strange and peculiar sounds would come flooding out…
I worry that I’m not the calmest mom, the silliest mom, the prettiest mom, the fittest mom, the craftiest mom, the strongest mom, the coolest mom, the smartest mom, the tidiest mom, the handiest mom, or the wealthiest mom. I know I’m not the most creative, understanding, organized, thoughtful or patient mom. I’m not very…
After seeing this questionnaire on Pinterest (where else?) and pinning it at least twice that I’m aware of, I decided to ask Lucas these 20 questions today, on his 29th month and I’ll repeat this exercise a year from now. 1. What is your favorite color? Yellow and green 2. What is your favorite toy?…
My good friend Coreen of The Adventures of Captain Fussypants, Little Miss & Caleb the Wonder Dog is the reason I started blogging.

It seems as though with 18 months came the onset of the “terrible twos”. And the stink eye…Mean, huh? I was not prepared for either one. Lucas has been having melt downs pretty much since the day we brought him home. They were few and far between and we learned very quickly that he can’t…

“If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.” – Erma Bombeck This is going to sound very strange, but I miss having sports in my life. I didn’t realize it until I was at the gym last week and found myself on an treadmill, followed by an…
I have been told that I dress you in too much blue and too many stripes. I may be guilty of that, but I also love to put you in orange, green, red, jungle animals (especially monkeys!), spaceships, robots, cars, planes, trains, dinosaurs and monsters too. As I’ve perused the baby departments at numerous stores,…
