You’re Not A Terrible Parent

May 8, 2013

inspired by this post.

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 [...]

Oliver is officially a finger food lover. We had been dabbling to keep him happy in the seat and allow us time to eat but then he got impatient with the purees too. Add to that, daycare was STOKED about him doing finger foods and I was told to start sending it along ASAP. We have been [...]

Toddler Dinners: Pizzeria

March 25, 2013

Ever since my food documentary marathon, I have been trying to find ways to teach Landon about food. Books, going to the grocery store, letting him help stir things.

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 [...]

March 4, 2013

So in the wee hours of Sunday morning, Kevin was taken down by the stomach bug. #3 to fall. Ollie was 3 pukes and done. I was 1 puke and a sore couple of hours of sleep. Kevin? 24 hours of misery. Poor guy couldn’t move. So Sunday at 6:30 AM (an half hour earlier [...]

Busy times around this joint. I am working on some posts but they aren’t quick ones. SO while you wait..here are some videos from my phone of the boys. When I come in a room, this is the universal “IT’S MOMMY” dance. He just kicks like Michael Phelps. A little brother worship going on. Landon’s [...]

The Angel the Internet Gave Me

February 21, 2013

Ever wish you had a medical professional on speed dial 24/7 while parenting? You know when you suspect an ear infection…10 minutes after the pediatrician closes. Or the question that isn’t worth copay but you know they would just say “you should bring him in”? Would you pay sweet cash to have a lactation consultant [...]

Infant Dinners: Getting Organized {Free Printables}

February 18, 2013

One major component to making your own baby food is keeping stock of it all. Add to the mix, my crazy Type A ass, and you get festive means in doing so! I make lists and probably micromanage my children’s food, but it helps me…STOP JUDGING ME! I like to think I am just really [...]
