The Mental Health of Motherhood

May 15, 2013

Last week I was able to attend the Listen To Your Mother show for Raleigh/Durham put on by my good friend Keanne. It was beautiful and hearing all the women’s stories was so special. They were funny, caring, sarcastic and REAL. Motherhood isn’t all newborn snuggles and bake sales. It’s gritty and puts you up [...]

Oliver: 9 Months

April 29, 2013

9 months! HOLY COW. I have to say, 6-9 months is my favorite baby age. I thought this with Landon and echo with Oliver. Interactive, happy, fun and CAN’T GET FAR! He is happy 98% of the time. He has the most radiant smile ever. He can make every daycare teacher light up the minute [...]

Jack Jack and His Baby

April 24, 2013

Jack has always been indifferent to these kids. He hasn’t been aggressive with them but he also hasn’t been super protective or anything of them. He likes to put on a big show of “I’m the big dog here” but he knows where he falls. But he is letting his facade slip a little. He [...]

Splish Splash Splosh

April 17, 2013

One of the highlights of having 2 littles has been bathtime. For the first 6 months, the boys had seperate bedtime routines. They overlapped a little but never the same. Around 6 months, Ollie started sitting up really well and bathing him the sink was a huge pain. The little plastic baby tub was clunky [...]

Giving The Girls a Break: A Weaning Story

March 27, 2013

This isn’t a post I was planning on writing for a bit. That may come off as sad but it’s really just a statement. To warn you of the feelings, or lack thereof, and word vomit that are coming your way. So here goes: Ollie and I are coming to an end of a journey [...]

I’m A Toddler Mom: A Guest Post by the Other Brandee

March 20, 2013

When Brandy asked for guest posts to help her get through after the transient hobo IUD is evicted from her pelvic region, I immediately offered. The lady has a rogue piece of metal punted into her pelvis via her super strong uterus (probably not medically accurate), so even if I wasn’t inclined to do ANYTHING [...]

Infant Dinners: They Don’t Need Teeth

March 11, 2013

Lately I have been asked about giving Oliver chunks of food and even puffs when he only has a sliver of one tooth at 7 months (for more info on my background here, read about Baby Led Weaning. How can he eat without teeth? I have also seen some people delaying finger foods with even [...]
