Thriving at Three
Having children has been the biggest accomplishment in my life. I am sure that most parents feel the same way. I look at both of my boys and feel and overwhelming sense of joy, pride, and love. It can be all-consuming in that moment, my god. I’m actually smiling writing this thinking how much I love these… Read More Thriving at Three
I hate bubbles
Go ahead, call me the Grinch who stole summer. I’m yelling it loud and proud: I HATE BUBBLES!!* I see your side-eye. I get it, bubbles are a staple of hot weather, a symbol of childhood. And kids freaking love them. I just don’t understand it. That and fireworks. And sandboxes. And pet hamsters. Ew.… Read More I hate bubbles
Oops I did it again: My second pregnancy #unfiltered
So a couple months back, my husband and I were talking about how easy it is having a toddler and how boring life has become now that she has little tantrums and is able to sprint away from us in public and does things like eat crayons and grind her dinner into the living room… Read More Oops I did it again: My second pregnancy #unfiltered

Most notably, Lenny started in a new room at daycare this morning. He is no longer an “Infant”; he is now… Read More My baby is growing up

You look great. Mommy’s skirt doesn’t flare when I spin either. But you still look great.” *crumbles to the… Read More Threenager
Daycare Dilemma: I Have No Idea What I’m Doing With My Three-Year-Old This Summer.
I have been remiss in not getting back to a few of you who left comments for me somewhat recently. No real excuse except for the usual busy-ness. It’s on my list, I promise. Nothing profound in this week’s post. Just an attempt to crowd-source a solution to a child care issue headed my way… Read More Daycare Dilemma: I Have No Idea What I’m Doing With My Three-Year-Old This Summer.
Touched Out: Toddler Nursing and the Older Child
[image credit] I’m embarking on some new career/business pursuits (more on those later), and they are, unsurprisingly, taking a physical and mental toll on me.
