A couple of nights ago we attended a classical community concert with both kids, featuring a French horn quartet and some extremely talented soprano opera soloists. I know, we are borderline insane, but the whole thing did not turn out too badly. We kept Little-C occupied with crayons, bits of garbage, a plastic [...]
Yesterday was one of those sublime days where you just adore your kids and love being a mom, even when things go wrong, even when they act their age, you just love them and feel blessed to have them around.

So maybe I fall into one of those categories of crazy garage sale people. Where would you put a person who sells her own child’s toys while she’s asleep? Looking on eBay for more accessories for Little-C’s dollhouse, I noticed that people were making bank selling the things Little-C had just purchased for $2.00 total. [...]
Saleing through other People’s Garages
Last weekend I had some sweet success garage saleing in my neighborhood. Garage sale day is exciting where I live because it only happens twice a year (not unlike my dating life through most of college). The reason for this is that I live in a “planned” community, one where everything [...]
I surmise that I am not the only parent out there who is wearied of listening to themselves converse about the intricacies of the body’s many functions, particularly in regards to bowl excretion. Little-C has recently made the realization that when her diaper is messy, it must needs be removed and has also recently learned [...]
The rooster just wants to help. I’m not sure who started acting up first this past week, me or my kids. I’m recovering from PPMD after the birth of my second child and thanks to the wonders of all kinds of modern medical professionals, I’m doing quite well….most of the time. Last week I had [...]
What exactly is the “abomination” of Paul and why are we so determined to follow it?
Last week, out of nowhere, the world’s sweetest 2-year-old started using the F-bomb. Now I’m not sure if she’s really saying that word or if she made it up by accident. She says a lot of nonsense words lately. Example: I say, “Little-C, what color is your spoon?” and she replies, “No, it’s not my [...]
Today I stopped eating lunch halfway through my burrito and told my 2 year old that I was full. “I don’t have room for any more.”
“Are you saturated?” she asked.
Upon further investigation I found that she and Dad had indeed been having fun vocabulary-time earlier this week where she had learned all about saturation. There’s [...]
I will begin by saying that I have not showered today. Its not that showering is something I do so very consistently since the birth of our second child but I just thought you should know.
In a desperate attempt to make the long weekend last even longer, Dan and I stayed up until almost 2 [...]
