Thoughts on a Thursday: Are you ready for spring?
I know I am. Looks like maybe she is too. Although she did have a lot of fun playing out in the snow, I bet she’ll like playing out in the grass just as much!

There’s an old adage: thunder in February, frost in May. I wonder how many people (like me) are already wondering how soon to plant. Yes, with the remnants of the first megastorm (around 4 inches or so of snow) still on the ground, though slowly melting, and the 2nd round making it’s way through in … [Read more…]
I was inspired by my friend Mindy’s most recent post regarding balance. It expresses how we’re all finding ourselves (as busy parents) pulled in 100 different directions, feeling guilty that we’re not able to put all our attention to one thing, and trying to give our kids that extra special one on one time, while … [Read more…]
It’s time to get real about going to a doctor. The intermittent bleeding has not stopped. It’s been a month. It’s been 2 periods (if they were periods). Something is wrong. Googling the issues I’m having leads to pretty much 1 thing, and it’s not a good thing. I have ZERO risk factors for it, … [Read more…]
I hear that a lot. Mean mommy. I insist she at least eats one cooked carrot with her dinner. Mean mommy. I insist she eats her dinner before getting anything else. Mean.

By now you’re either on your way to visiting family, or you’re haphazardly thawing a turkey in the sink, right? Don’t we all have a lot to be thankful for, though? I know I’ve been posting cutesy pictures and silly (but sentimental) things that I’m thankful for this year. I mean how many people put … [Read more…]
Alright, perhaps none of the 150 NEW facebook fans have stuck around to see what we’re about.. but just in CASE!?! Please let me know what you have seen that you like and what you’d like to see more of… Scroll down or click on some tags and let me know in the comments what … [Read more…]
This is kind of a cross between a talk about it Tuesday and thoughts on a Thursday. — I was just wondering what the current thinking is about (especially kids’) politeness and serving size. Several times I have had the opportunity to serve cupcakes/cookies/other dessert and then had a request for more. We were always … [Read more…]
It’s been said to me before, when I postulated that in taking a week’s long vacation we’d need to find a place to wash diapers… why don’t you just use disposable? To be honest the thought hadn’t even crossed my mind, we’ve used cloth diapers so long, and the more I think about it, the … [Read more…]
