My 4 month old daughter woke up last night at 2:00. That was unusual for her as she doesn’t usually wake up until after 4 or 5:00. When I went into her room, I struggled with whether I should feed her or just try to get her back to sleep without feeding. I opted for […]

I don’t plan on taking many trips for the next couple of years because of the kid factor. To see more of the world and have a virtual vacation, I have found some of these websites for enjoyment…
Warning: To people who take real vacations this will be totally lame.
Google maps: by using the hybrid option, […]

This link is a video from the Today Show re: SAHMs. I really don’t like Leslie Bennett who wrote “the Mommy Mistake.” I think she has some good points, but I think her appearance on so many shows now is just to irate and irritate us. Women and their families should make informed decisions, but they shouldn’t be […]

Here are some products/things that I have recently come to love and hope you do, too:
Reach Access Flosser: I could floss all day with this thing (my husband is totally grossed out by it, but I think it’s great for my gums!)

I’m not a huge activist, though I have strong opinions on a lot of things. I see people standing on the corner with their signs protesting the war and I don’t join them (but I’ll give them a honk if the sign tells me to). I don’t even take the time to volunteer […]

Do you get those warning emails about some new predator at the gas station or the mall from your friends (or are YOU the one forwarding them on)? If so, you may want to check out www.snopes.com
This website is a good source for checking to see if the warnings are legitimate. They do the background […]

Tonight was unusual. My husband watched the kids and I went to the library alone. I didn’t have a plan, just wandered around. I came across a book called, “Comeback Moms” and I got through most of it tonight (thanks to a stop at Starbucks for a venti cafe mocha!).
I thought this was a very […]

Over the summer, many movie theaters offer free or discounted movies for kids. Even though I don’t often like to take the kids out into public places, these summer movies are usually cartoons rated G or PG, and are designed specifically for kids - so you don’t have to worry, because you’re surrounded by other […]

A couple of years ago we bought a bagless vacuum. I have to say, once you go bagless, you never go back! It is very rewarding to actually see how much lint, etc. you have cleaned up after vacuuming just one room. (Yes, I get a weird high from having a clean house.)
Even though we […]

I had my carpets cleaned today by Stanley Steemer. They worked quickly, but now I’m stranded in a room without carpet to keep my socks dry. (If you’ve ever had your carpets cleaned, you know what I’m talking about!)
The man who cleaned the carpet told me something that I never knew. When we moved […]
