Ahhh, the toddlers and their demand for independence. Someone pass me a drink already. A double. Hold the fruit. All weekend long Sweetness found it very convenient that she had the ability to open her door and wonder out at her leisure. This time I didn’t see much in the way of night terrors. Just […]

A big thanks to all you brave souls who came to my garage sale and made off with my beloved baby gear. May you and your babies have many hours of enjoyment. I really enjoyed talking to lots of new mommies and mommies to be. One big thing I shared was the amazing coop preschool […]

Someone up there doesn’t like me very much. Either that or I’m the butt of some pretty serious jokes that are keeping the heavenly creatures laughing well into the night.

If I like it, it’s mine. If I can take it from you, it’s mine. If I had it a little while, it’s mine. If it looks like mine, it’s mine. If I’m building something, all of the pieces are mine and since it’s mine it must never appear to be yours in any way. […]
