Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a huge Oprah fan(you go girlfriend!). Throughout the years, she’s had different shows with different guests all with the same theme; when you get that weird feeling about a situation and the hair on the back of your neck stands up….run. She’s said it over and over and [...]

They said it wouldn’t last. They said it was just a “phase,” and she would grow out of it. But, I’m pretty sure that Kate going “commando” is here to stay. What? No, no…I’m not talking about her not wearing a diaper. I’m talking about her crawling like a foot soldier in the trenches during [...]

Four words that I’m starting to dread…”Wanna play Ned’s Head?” My mom bought this game, “What’s in Ned’s Head” a few months ago and not a day has passed since that my 3 year old hasn’t played it! It’s actually a really gross game, you reach in the big, oversized cartoon head and pull out [...]

My son started pre-school today and I think I was more broken up about it than he was! He’s been attending a Montessori school since he was 18 months, so the idea of “school” is not new to him. I can’t help but think back to that time when he was almost 2 and going [...]

What happened to my sweet, adorable, cherubic, doll of a baby daughter? One minute she’s looking at me with adoringly sweet eyes and the next she’s shouting at the top of her lungs because I’m not shoveling the bananas in her mouth fast enough! It’s not just the food she’s become demanding about. It’s food, [...]

I’ve noticed in the past few weeks that my 3 year old’s vocabulary is actually getting more sophisticated. He was a late talker so I’m always amazed, and sometimes shocked, at the words and phrases that fall NOT so trippingly off his tongue. It’s not just his vocabulary, but he’s using words and phrases at [...]

Just a few words that have completely changed meaning for me since having children: Early. Before having children, anything before 8 AM was considered too early; after kids, 4:30 AM is early but anything after 5 AM is an acceptable time of day. No. Before kids, when you told someone “no” they understood that it [...]

So, we’ve started on potty training of the bowels, or, as many like to call it, poo-poo training. Why is this so incredibly difficult? Why do I wake in a cold sweat in the middle of night dreaming of toilets and dirty diapers chasing me? Why can’t I just “chill” and let HIM lead ME? [...]

So, I’ve been complaining a lot in the past few months about my son’s unwillingness to potty train. I was reading a post on a stay at home mom’s website that was talking about potty training being mostly the parent’s choice to commit. It dawned on me, “How can I expect him to get it [...]

My 3 year old has been putting things in his mouth again. I really thought those days were over, but, for some reason, he’s been licking or biting everything before using it. It kinda freaked me out at first because I thought he might have a “sensory” issue. However, my always logical husband reminded me [...]
