My Little Riot

Also known as Princess #1 aka Z, my first daughter. I guess I really didn’t know what to expect from having a little girl. After all, my first is a boy and I’d spent many years with him, so I was just used to dealing with a boy. He didn’t want to do everything I […]

Why Turkey?

Your weekend joke…enjoy.
We were watching a documentary on Turkey, the country. Our little man turned to us (his parents). “Why is it called turkey?” Before we could respond…he says, “Is it because there are a lot of turkeys there?” *crickets* Seriously, what do you say to that? Both my husband […]

Honey, Check If She’s Breathing

This is what we say every 5 mins. My husband and I, that is. Whether she is asleep or not. My biggest worry (besides headaches from sleepless nights) is being threatened by my new baby falling asleep. I almost don’t want her to take naps or sleep at night. When she sleeps, I don’t […]

Excuse Me, While I go Have A Baby

If that’s OK with you. If you’ve been there before, you’ve got to know how this process works. Especially if you have other little ones at home. Getting mentally and emotionally prepared, getting your kids prepared, getting organized, and the list goes on.
So, as stated in a previous post, I’m not ignoring any of your […]

It’s Good To Be Good

Though it may seem way easier and juicier to be negative and mean, being good brings back tremendous returns. I wish people chose the easier path of being nicer to their neighbors. This world will be a much better place. Personally, I think the amount of energy it takes to being anything other than nice, […]

Is A Baby A Reason To Get Married?

The question I got in my inbox today! Now, how do you answer that? I’m assuming the reader just wants to hear my opinion on this - knowing fully well that I am no expert, right? Or as always, they’d like to hear the majority’s opinion. That’s YOU, the readers.
The last thing I want to […]

So, I’m following Joel Madden on twitter, and today, he tweeted, “I taught Harlow how to bite. It’s awesome. She’s biting Nicole now and laughing.

Any Day Now

And let the count down begin! Boy, it’s getting more difficult to move around. I take one step and I feel like I just climbed Mount Everest.
I was trying to have a convo with Greg this morning. I had just one thing to say, and my poor hubby had to stand there for half an […]

Explaining Easter To Kids

G turned to S (our son), “by […]

Kids & Sign Language = Amazingly Cute Conversation

I’m amazed at my daughter’s skills with signing. She just turned 19 months and isn’t able to have a solid conversation (obviously) just yet. So, in lieu, she signs to us.
Her dad bought her a sign book when she was much younger, and after she turned a year, big brother was so excited and eager […]

The Toilet Water Saga Continues…

Oh boy…I need to hire 24/7 security for our bathrooms, so that as Z shows up they can turn her back around to go play with her toys; to do what kids do. Yesterday morning, as the kids were getting ready for school, I heard S scream in his bathroom, “Z, what are you doing […]

Can You Determine A Spouse From One Date?

Curious. Can you determine a potential spouse or life partner from the first date? You know, like when women meet men, they know right away if they are going to be intimate with him or not. I don’t think I can say the same for men, though. Most man are all about “scoring”, lol.
How many […]

What are your thoughts?
You know, when your spouse portrays little annoyances here and there - that potentially lead to “big deals.” Do you call it quits with him/her?
