A Fine Line
Today’s post is a heavier subject than I normally tackle, especially on a Friday, but it’s important and it’s at the forefront of my mind. I know myself, if I don’t do it now I will forget all about it and suddenly six months will have passed. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, the [...]
Really?
As you all know, there are currently two toddlers living in my house. They are the most adorable freeloaders ever (I might be a tad biased). But being around them day in and day out, has left me in a constant state of confusion. This confusion coupled with the SNL news skit “Really? With Seth [...]
This is Not a Man Bash
I love men. I mean not love, love in THAT way. Well, except Nick of course. I love and respect their view of the world, and I appreciate the differences between our genders. That said, however, there are just some situations when men don’t get it. It isn’t their fault, and I know the exact [...]
Sunny Days….
Today’s post contains three riddles (at least to me), if anyone out that can answer them all in a way that makes me go “OH! I totally get it now!,” I will send you a 100 Grand (candy bar ~ I am a SAHM after all, it’s no secret that it’s a low paying job). [...]
Whoa Momma!
Happy day after Mother’s Day everyone! I hope you all had lots of squishy hugs, and glitter covered homemade cards expressing love and appreciation! Conversation with Nick last week: N: Hey, what do you want for Mother’s Day? S: Sleep. N: Huh? S: I don’t need a grand gesture. I just want to sleep until [...]
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
It’s Friday, and I’m not really sure how that happened. Has this ever happened to you? I I feel like I haven’t sat down all week, yet I am fighting a losing battle. I clean it up, I turn around and it’s destroyed again. I wash the clothes, I fold them and put them away [...]
Social Life, Social Life, Oh Where Have You Gone?
It’s not a secret that social lives change when babies join a household. But when does a sad social life become just completely pathetic? As a SAHM, most of my adult conversations are either in passing, with my husband, or during a play date. When the kids play nicely and let the grown-ups talk, that [...]
A Love Letter to My Daughter on Her Second Birthday
Oh My Sweet Tillybean, Happy Birthday My Love! I can’t believe it’s already been two years. It feels like just yesterday I was anxiously awaiting your arrival in the delivery room. What an amazing whirlwind it has been! I have watched you go from a tiny needy newborn, to an independent, determined, self-assured little girl [...]
Just Breathe. ~ Guest Post!
You’ve all met Julie. Click http://motherhoodisbeautiful.com/?p=936 or http://motherhoodisbeautiful.com/?p=646 . She has an important lesson for all of us. Sometimes society puts pressure on us to be perfect, and sometimes it comes from ourselves. This is Julie’s journey to letting go. I’ve been talking to Sandee and other mom friends about the disparity (look at me using [...]
Dear God. I’ve Become My Mother.
Do you remember when you were a kid and there was “a big event” in your life? Usually one in which you, as the kid, would be ridiculously spoiled for the day, which you, as the kid, totally couldn’t handle. This pampering, at some point during the day, would equate to some sort of melt [...]
