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 [...]

He’s only 2.5 and I already embarrass him. I see your eyebrows raising. But it’s true. Case in point — I love to sing. I am one of those weird people that sings along with the music that plays over the speakers in the grocery store. [...] 
One great thing about my job is that my boss allows employees with small children to bring them to the early morning staff meetings we have every few months, so we don’t have to find babysitters for such a short time. I like it because it makes it seem more of a family oriented company. [...] 
Sounds glamorous doesn’t it? Night shopping. It’s not what you think. It’s not browsing chic boutique front store displays while walking home from a night out on the town. It’s not even browsing Etsy in the dark with only the blue glow of my computer monitor. It means that I am cruising the aisles of [...] 
… until I was a mom Leave the diapers in the bin, please Don’t eat carpet lint. Where’s your pants? No pooping in the tub! Don’t stick your hand in the toilet. Do you want to watch more Dora? Where’s your belly button? I’m gonna kiss your butt! [...] |
