“Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” I always thought that was Ben Franklin’s original thought, but when Googling to make sure I was remembering correctly I stumbled upon Mama Lisa, who corrected her own Ben Franklin assumption with the evidence showing this … 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
Last year, when Mr. Charm turned 2, we noticed that he didn’t seem to talk as much as other kids his age. Thanks to all the crazy medical stuff that went on last summer, I couldn’t get in for his 2 year checkup until September – a full 2.5 months … 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

Maybe nothing really does change on New Year’s Day. But it’s a good time to take a look at the changes that have occurred over the previous year. Mommy Wants Vodka, a hilarious, terribly off-color blog I read to bring some adult laughter into my days, does one meme and one … Continue reading
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
My Darling Boys, It is Christmas Eve today. Tomorrow morning, the four of us will sit down in the living room to watch you open your gifts and attempt to capture the joy and magic of Christmas morning. But before we do that, I wanted to tell you something important. … Continue reading
