Box – The Best Toy

Sweetness recently formed this very interesting love/fear relationship with the Costco car wash. Daddy takes her through it from time to time after a Saturday morning run to the mother of all warehouse stores. The response is rather interesting. Now, you have to know Sweetness has this thing about loud noises. She covers her ears […]

Sick Day

It’s been a rather crazy day here at the Heligirl household. I’m off work on Wednesdays, but rarely does that mean it’s less busy. However, when one or both kids are sick it can either be really lazy (lots of watching movies and sleeping) or just plain nuts. What made today particularly exciting was the […]

Not So Happy Morning

On days like today I wonder why our government doesn’t just use babies for the sleep deprivation torture of our enemies. I really think it would work, and is much cheaper than conventional methods, I’m sure. Mr. Man’s new crawling skill is keeping him up at night. I’m not sure if it’s little twitching muscles […]

Best American Car

I heard the only American car maker making any money this year is Little Tikes. Well, I can say it’s sure easy to see why. Sweetness had discovered the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe at the community center toddler time, and to say she was in love is a bit of an under statement. She was […]

Mr. Man has officially started to crawl. It’s kind of a funky, pull himself along, push up on his toes and pull himself forward kind of early fish out of water maneuver, but it’s mobility none the less. This lively piece of video artistry comes to you care of my iPhone because it was what […]

This was posted on redtri.com today. Enjoy, and pee wisely. iPeed Home Pregnancy Test iPhone App Pink or Blue? One Line or Two? Cup or stream? What woman hasn’t spent countless hours sweating it out over an innocuous white plastic stick otherwise known as a home pregnancy test (whether trying to conceive or not). Not to mention […]

Consignment Complaint

OK, I admit it. I’m a frugal mama. How the heck else do you stay on top of two growing kids eating you out of house and home while they outgrow things faster than you can replace them? It just doesn’t make sense to spend money on new stuff every time you turn around. Especially […]

So we have not seen Sweetness show any more interest in the big girl potty since her little experiment that lead to a wet tushy a while back so we thought we’d try out a little something different. While purchasing the now vital door handle locks for the inside of Sweetness’s bedroom door, Hubby found […]
