Monday night, the Geek woke up in the middle of the night and went to eat some cereal. Somehow, a bite of cereal managed to crack one of his teeth! He said it hurt like crazy, and was not feeling very well Tuesday. The dentist said the tooth is not … Continue reading
My babies are bald. And they have delicious gummy smiles. I drink in the smell of Mr. Happy’s little bald head. One day, in about six or seven more months, he’ll have enough hair that I won’t be able to kiss his sweet scalp. I’ll be kissing peach fuzz, instead. … Continue reading
I love my children. Ahem. More specifically… I *LOVE* my children with every fiber of my being. But sometimes, the unrelenting…relentlessness of being responsible for them 24/7/365 is just flat-out exhausting. Because I don’t ever – EVER – get a break.** Child care is hard enough to find without … Continue reading
Oh, blood. I never thought Motherhood would bring so much blood into my life. Yesterday Mr. Charm’s first poopy diaper of the day had visible blood in it. As I’ve stated before, that has only ever happened for him if he consumes dairy. So I called the Geek at work … Continue reading

Friday morning, Mr. Happy had a diaper FILLED with blood. It was so acidic, it instantly burned his butt, leaving blisters and raw, bleeding open wounds in it’s wake. I seriously thought I was going to cry. Which just proves that my son is far tougher than I am, because I … Continue reading
Recently I shared some ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures of my amazing weight loss with my online Mommy friends (from the Parenting Weekly monthly birth club group I joined when I was pregnant with Mr. Charm – yes, three years later and we’re still an active group!) and they were impressed … Continue reading
Last weekend Mr. Charm had a poopy diaper that looked a little odd. I couldn’t quite tell if it was mucous or blood. Or both. So, I pulled out our handy-dandy stool testing kit and put it to use. Yup. Blood. Nothing has ever caused Mr. Charm to have blood … Continue reading
The kids and I are home again, thank goodness! Walking in the front door felt like wrapping up in a cozy quilt on a cold day…HOME. The kids were happy, too. Mr. Charm had to explore every inch of ‘his’ terrain to make sure all his toys (tupperware, pots and … Continue reading
