You know you’re a Mom when: You take a shower and a sticker appears on the floor of the shower yet you have no idea where it came from or how long it was on your body You see an airplane in the sky and look around to see if your kids are there to [...]

When I was a kid, one of my favorite Christmas memories was playing make-believe with all of the ornaments. That’s why I wasn’t quick to stop my son from doing the same thing. Sure, I tried to hang the more fragile or valuable ornaments out of his reach, but I left out the ones that [...]

We don’t travel much as a family, so when we booked a hotel for a family wedding this weekend, we were naive. Here’s my tip… When offered 2 double beds or a king, I opted for a king. Don’t do that. Get the two beds. Sharing a small space with my husband is a lot [...]

I will try not to get too sappy. After a wonderful party with our family, I’m too exhausted to get too emotional, but I have to send some birthday wishes out to my little girl who turned 1 year old today! In my everyday reality, I’m faced with some pretty mundane things. I wipe noses, [...]

If you are familiar with “Lord of the Rings,” you might remember Gollum. He’s the little guy who runs around naked with the hobbits. Though my son really is a cutie (duh, I’m his Mom), he loves to run around the house naked and I can’t help but think he looks a little bit like [...]

Have you ever thought about the things our kids won’t know? The staples from our pasts that have been replaced with newer models or replaced entirely. Here are just a few that I came up with… Car windows that you had to physically “roll up” or “roll down.” Alarm clocks where the numbers “flipped over” [...]

According to our pediatrician, it’s time to let the little one “cry it out” when she wakes in the middle of the night. Though I’m not looking forward to what he says could be a few rough nights, I am looking forward to sleeping through the night myself. The only thing I will miss, however, [...]

I never understood the physical metamorphosis that took place when the Grinch’s heart grew “three sizes that day.” Now, having a 9 month old, I understand. I am amazed at how quickly (seemingly overnight), she can change. I swear her neck and head grew while we were sleeping (all 4 of us plus cat) in [...]
