Closing The Loop
We had no idea when we transitioned to the new daycare that not only would we find all of that but that we would find an extension of our family in the teachers and directors of the early learning center. … Read More Closing The Loop
Parenting: It’s the hard-knock life
Boy did “Annie” ever have it right! [Parenting] is a hard-knock life! (Side note: just to be clear, I mean the “Annie” of 1982 release). It’s only now officially spring, but we’re already in summer camp planning mode – as I would think most parents are about now. This is the first summer that Gavin… Read More Parenting: It’s the hard-knock life
5-Second Rule
Today I picked a gummy bear off of the parking lot, brushed it off and gave it to my son to eat. It’s not my proudest moment, but it’s also not my lowest. Some of us will be writing about a “day in a life” this month and I thought starting off with a terribly… Read More 5-Second Rule
Hot Mess Mom
Daycare knows all of my secrets by now. They’ve seen me in my fancy work clothes and my why-did-she-leave-the-house-like-that clothes. They know when we’ve woken up on time because we actually made it to drop-off before morning snack, or when we slept in or just couldn’t figure out how to make it out… Read More Hot Mess Mom
My Girl (and Boy)
I don’t have much quiet time, but when I do I am probably reading a few pages of a book or listening to a podcast. My favorite podcast is Death, Sex, Money. It covers everything (as the title suggests). If you haven’t looked into it, start today and go through the whole feed. Avoid the episode about… Read More My Girl (and Boy)
A Bad Day
The second I walked into my son Jack’s Pre-K classroom and saw the look on his teacher’s face I knew something was wrong. She shook her head and said, “He had a bad day.” Ugh. A bad day. She went on to tell me that he wouldn’t sit still during nap time, wouldn’t… Read More A Bad Day
Things NOT to Say to a Working Mom
For the most part, I enjoy being a work-outside-of-the-home mom. I am satisfied with my career. It may not be my ultimate dream job but until someone will pay me to eat food and read books (preferably in a tropical climate), it is just fine. There have been a few times though when someone made a comment with… Read More Things NOT to Say to a Working Mom
What Doesn’t Kill You…Makes You Want to Kiss Your Daycare Provider on the Mouth
My sons’ daycare was closed last week. My husband and I spent the week scrambling around trying to juggle the boys, our jobs, and everything else. I can proudly say that we all survived (I say this proudly as there were moments I was sure we would not). As I sit here at my desk… Read More What Doesn’t Kill You…Makes You Want to Kiss Your Daycare Provider on the Mouth
An Open Letter
To the Parent of the child my son is targeting with biting- All I can say is that I’m sorry. I don’t know why my son is “targeting” your daughter and biting her. From my understanding they are buddies and play well together – until he decides to take it that one step further and… Read More An Open Letter
