Do you see any straps on this swing? I didn't think so. This is me on the swing at my grandma's house. Recently, I’ve seen a lot of notes on Facebook where people post nostalgic reminiscences of their childhood playtime activities — ones where they never wore protective gear, played outside in the dark without supervision, [...] Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me. My cousin Jessie came over yesterday and we went to see Sherlock Holmes, which if you haven’t seen it — it is pretty awesome. She came over early and visited and watched my children play. Somehow we got to joking about what it [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 
There are certain traditions that I love about the holidays. I love putting up Christmas lights. It makes even the crappiest winter day seem cheery. It explains why I went through my entire teen life with Christmas lights on my bedroom ceiling — I really needed Christmas cheer any time I could get it. Now, [...] 
It wouldn’t be a holiday without one of my children being sick. Actually, I don’t even know if my daughter is sick or just teething. I am thinking it’s the later. She has two teeth, either her first molars or her canines, coming in and that means excess drool resulting in an upset stomach. It [...] 
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 [...] One of the hardest parts, I find, about being a mom of toddlers is knowing when they understand — truly understand — what I am saying and what I want from them, especially because readiness and development are unique to every child. My daughter, now 1 year old, understands quite a lot even though she [...] 
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 [...] |
