I’ll take “duh” for $1000, Alex! So, I mentioned how Mr. Charm was begging for a vitamin last week, and how I had to say no because it had sugar in it. Well, I decided that, since it was Thanksgiving, I’d work on a few ‘treats’ for Mr. Charm to … 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
Mr. Happy has been teething. He actually cut his second tooth last week! Here’s the problem: he’s a rotten teether. Mr. Charm was great – we hardly ever knew he was teething. It was as if he thought to himself “Excruciating pain in my mouth? Whatev! I have people to charm … Continue reading
The kids and I had to come down to Houston last week to take care of some family business and we are staying with my parents. My parents are WONDERFUL about their grandchildrens’ food issues; last year, Mom and I even made the entire Thanksgiving dinner allergy-free for Mr. Charm … Continue reading

Yesterday was an icky day. Mr. Happy was cutting his first tooth, so of course he wanted to be held CONSTANTLY. Mr. Charm was whiny in the morning. I gave up on getting anything done besides staying alive. After their naps, both boys were in better spirits, though Mr. Happy … Continue reading
(I’m going to apologize in advance…this post is rather long and disjointed, but for all my editing efforts I can’t seem to improve it. I’m still exhausted from Monday and seriously irritated and confused, and this is the best I can do. Thanks for sticking with me!) Riddle me this: … Continue reading
It’s been two weeks and two days of nursing…how is it going? Really well, I think. I *think*. The last 4 days Mr. Happy has been showing some slight eczema on his cheeks. (Which could just be some heat irritation or something he rubbed his cheeks on that is bothering … Continue reading
