Probably not your best angle My husband and I have been on the hunt for help — a babysitter, to be exact. For all of those potential babysitters out there, I want to give you some tips on things to avoid on an interview with a potential family based on our own experiences trying [...] My children are starting to speak. Oh how I longed for the days where words would accompany wants instead of the ‘guess-what-this-scream-means.’ People without kids can never appreciate the hilarious and sometimes mind-numbing conversations of those with few words. Having toddlers is like having a parrot. A parrot who sometimes answers your questions. It’s amazing [...] Grandma, Dad, Mom, Me, Aunt Micki, and Grandpa is hidden in back The best present I received for my birthday this year was a movie that my husband made from old 8mm reels that my stepmom let me borrow. My father had a whole paper bag full, none of which I had seen before. [...] My 30th birthday…I'm in the red shirt. One of my best birthdays ever! If you are wondering, New Year’s Eve is a really sucky day to be born. You’d think that with all the parties and kissing and drinking champagne that it would be the best day to have a birthday. It’s not. I [...] 
Would you trust this person with your kids? I wouldn't. That's me at 13. How do you entrust the most precious beings in your life to a total stranger? So far, I haven’t had to ask myself that question because my mother-in-law has been incredibly generous with her time watching our children while I [...] 
I know most kids are crazy, but I think a few more crazy beans were planted in my daughter’s brain when she was conceived. (That is how crazy people are made, right? Some kind of bean planted during conception?) She’s only 14 months old but she’s proving to be made of some different stuff than [...] 
A sick Lucas and Penny stay inside and eat M&Ms on Halloween We can’t seem to catch a break lately. All we’re catching are colds. My daughter’s first birthday party was canceled because I was sick. Now my son’s first trick-or-treat was canceled because he and his sister are sick — and it’s raining [...] 
It’s not even Halloween, and yet here I am thinking about what to buy my children for Christmas what Santa will bring my children for Christmas. Recently, my friend Meghan gave Penny a cute little baby doll stroller for her birthday. Honestly, I never thought this would be a toy that my children would fight [...] 
Best Cousins This post also could have been called “A grandma drives one asthmatic and one sciatica sufferer with two toddlers in tow”, but I liked the other title better. Needless to say, we took our first family vacation from Ohio to New Jersey to visit my brother-in-law and his family. It was the [...] 
Hesitating before entering pre-preschool I am very fortunate to have a loving mother-in-law who watches my children while I am at work. She enthusiastically agreed to watch them, saving us loads in daycare costs. I rest assure knowing they are being looked after by a person who loves them just as much as my [...] |
