Mommy, Where’s Your Penis?
I have heard this question from my three-year-old before, but this time it was a little different. My stock answer of, “Daddy’s and little boys have a penis and mommy’s and little girls don’t.” was not cutting it this time. He wanted to know and proceeded to look, even giving me a slight grab. When [...]
Would You Like Some Cheese With That Whine?
I must’ve been the biggest whiner when I was a kindergartener. It’s the only thing that can explain what I am going through with my 5 year old right now. It’s PAYBACK time!
“Mommy, can I have a cheese stick?”
“Not right now.”
“But mommy, why? Why can I not have a cheese stick?”
“Because dinner is almost ready.”
“But [...]Crayon + Dryer = Oh !@%$#%!!!
I hate to admit it, but this is the second time Crayola has literally left its mark on a load of my laundry. You think that I would have learned to check pockets the first time around. But oh no, my motto is that I don’t do pockets. If you leave it in there, chances [...]
King of the Potty at Less Than Two
Okay, maybe my two-year-old isn’t exactly the King of the potty. And maybe thousands of other toddlers are completely potty trained by this age. Nevertheless, this is my triumph and my blog and I feel compelled to share my story at the crack of dawn.
Last night as my two boys are getting ready for [...]Breastfeeding vs. Formula Feeding
Why All The Commotion?
It seems no matter what forum I am on a debate about breastfeeding vs. formula feeding erupts. And when I say erupt, I am not joking. It rarely is a civil discussion. From what Iâ?Tve noticed, it usually turns into one side questioning how the other could make that choice and [...]Does the Bag Make the Mom?
I really missed the boat when it came to carrying a cool diaper bag. I see really chic diaper bags everywhere I go now. Even my friends seem to have them. My boys are 5 and 2 1/2 now, so I don’t have to carry a proper diaper bag anymore. Just an oversized purse to [...]
Is Three a Crowd?
Should I or shouldn’t I have a third child? That is a question I have been asking myself for over a year now. I have two sons ages 2 1/2Â and 5. Part of me would love to add a little princess to the mix. Although if she turns out anything like I was as a [...]
No More Than Ordinary
One of the best episodes of my favorite show was on last night, Grey’s Anatomy ‘Wishin and Hopin’. Before I lose all of you non-Grey or TV watching fans, don’t worry this blog isn’t solely about the show. I say solely because I’ll have to throw a little in at the end. This blog is [...]
It was a Chocolate Kind of Day
Ever have one of those days where you just need chocolate? Where you can’t scarf it down fast enough? And you’re not even that picky what kind it is? You’ll even eat Nestle morsels that you were saving for the cookies you never have time to make? Well, I have those days. I had them [...]
Mom’s Fictional Earnings
This morning I woke up to a sink full of dishes and a head full of ache. But that’s okay because at least I am worth $138,095 a year. Yes, according to research done by the “compensation experts” from Salary.com Inc., a stay at home mom, if she were paid for all of the work [...]
