I’m Lost

So I guess it’s just best to be better late than never, eh? During the past six years I’ve changed jobs, moved more than 1,110 miles, moved into an apartment, bought a house and moved again, met a nice man, dated nice man, got engaged, planned a wedding, got married, got pregnant, gave birth, tripped […]

Accidental Progress

Mr. Man has been on solid food for seven months, but until recently didn’t show any interest in feeding himself. I’ve been at a loss as Sweetness was grabbing the spoon to guide it to her mouth within a couple of months of solid food and was stuffing finger food in her mouth in short […]

Let’s Talk About Sex

Hot. Wet. Animal Sex. Slow loving cuddle sex. The kind that gives you shivers for the next 15 minutes. And the kind that just leaves you warm and fuzzy inside. All kinds really. I bring this up because I think we could all use a little reminder from time to time, especially if we’re married […]

Now for something completely different. I recently took Mr. Man to a research study at the University of Washington’s child development lab.

I’m hideous. That’s it. End of story. No question about it. That’s how I feel right now. Since getting serious in the blogosphere six months ago, I’ve come across lots and lots of posts and blogs about losing weight to feel better about yourself. I kind of skimmed over a lot of that as I’m […]

Officially Old Mom

I’ve decided there are two levels of mom experience: new mom and old mom. You are one or the other. Sure, you can be varying degrees of each, but you’re still one or the other. Exactly when you step from new to old is different for every person. But make no mistake, there is definitely […]

Brand New Community, Join In

I’ve had such a wonderful response to my Positive Discipline posts and have received many questions in both comments and e-mail regarding this parenting technique. It’s been really exciting. This gave me an idea. Since I’m a relatively new mom and have only been studying and applying Positive Discipline for a little over two years, […]

Little Helper

Here is photographic proof that you should not do anything in front of your children you don’t want them to copy. They’re such little sponges. 🙂 Yesterday afternoon Hubby just had to get out and mow the lawn. It had been a couple of weeks and we were losing toys, gardening implements and small dogs […]
