Food Protocols

Mr. Happy is just racing along the floor these days. Mr. Charm is happily eating some of his safe foods – foods which are NOT safe for Mr. Happy.  He is also 2 and has no real awareness of crumbs. Mama is going NUTS. I’m going to change my name … Continue reading

Open Letter to Everyone Who Wants to Touch My Baby

Last weekend I went to one of my oldest friends baby shower.  It was a lovely party for her and her baby, and I was so glad I got to share in the experience with her.  She looks gorgeous, and her son is already so blessed! But, it was nerve-wracking … Continue reading

It’s Always Something

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

Ben Franklin Was Unoriginal, But I’ll Listen to Him Anyway

Our First Christmas With Kiddos

No, this wasn’t our first Christmas with kiddos in the literal sense, but it WAS our first Christmas with kiddos who could manage to unwrap a gift by themselves and be excited about the whole shebang. It was really, really cool. At 8:00 a.m. Mr. Happy woke up.  With all … Continue reading

Attack of The Vicious EGG and the Cunning Cheerio

Yesterday morning, the Geek let me sleep in just a little bit.  At 8:30 a.m., he walked from the living room, where all the boys were hanging out, to our bedroom, and said “Mama, get out of bed!”.  I woke up and said “OK”, he turned and walked back towards … Continue reading
