The End of My Perfect Pregnancy
Well this is it, the last few days of my third and final pregnancy. I vowed to make this the easiest and best journey of them all. I told myself that I wasn’t going to get sick, wear styles that I wouldn’t wear pre-pregnancy, and enjoy every minute this little life was inside of me. [...]
Chaos and the Shower
I don’t really know what happens when I step into the shower, but from where I’m standing, it sounds like all Hell breaks loose. Once I became a mother, taking a shower became a nerve-racking experience that I no longer enjoyed. How could I enjoy a shower when I had to be worried about that [...]
David’s Cookies
I was thrilled the other day when I opened my front door to find a package had been delivered to me. I was expecting the package, so that was not the reason for my excitement. It was the contents of this shipment that made me dizzy with joy and anticipation. The contents consisted of a [...]
It Was A Poop-tastrophe
Yes, a poop-tastrophe. I don’t know if that is a word, but if it isnďż˝?Tt it should be. Because a poop-tastrophe is the only way to describe what I have just witnessed. I’ve heard all of the poop vs. toddler horror stories from other mothers. I use to listen and think how lucky I was [...]
Did Ryan Seacrest Really Say That?
I am amazed at what people say sometimes. Especially, single dorky men that obviously do not have a clue about women. Many men fit this bill, but the culprit I’m referring to in this blog is Ryan Seacrest. Even if you don’t recognize the name, I’m quite certain you’ve seen his face. He seems to [...]
Bounce At Your Own Risk
This past Saturday my sons and I attended a birthday party for a 6-year-old at a jump & play facility. It’s basically a party place for kids and is filled with several inflatable bounce houses. Each bounce house includes a slide. They have smaller party rooms where the kids eat pizza, drink juice and snack [...]
3-Year-Old Jekyll and Hyde
My 3 three-year-old son can be the biggest toddler terror on the planet one minute, and the most adorable and charming little sweetheart the next. Much like the weather in the Midwest, he can go from one extreme to the other in a matter of minutes.
Just the other day while we were grocery shopping, he [...]
The Wrath of Bathtime
Giving my children a bath is no fun. I hate to admit it, but I donâ?Tt enjoy it at all. It is definitely a chore in my house. I am so envious of those moms who delight in giving their children a bath. They look forward to it. It is one of their favorite bonding [...]
The Ugly Cry
If you don’t already know, I’m pregnant with my third child. And one of the most annoying side effects for me, are the unexpected bouts of emotion that come on suddenly. Itďż˝?Ts not just a little tear here or there, it can sometimes be heart wrenching, in your gut, I cannot take it anymore crying. [...]
Toys ARE Us!
Help! Our house is being swallowed by toys. I donâ?Tt think there is one 5 square feet of space in our house that doesnâ?Tt have at least one toy sitting in it. I have even found those suckers in my bed while sleeping. Yes itâ?Ts true, a little Spiderman action figure was trying to get [...]
