My baby turned four a few weeks ago! I can’t believe how old she is. She suddenly seems so much more grown up. She can write her name, tell jokes, do some addition, has lots of different friends, and is such a sweet and helpful girl.
She had a week full of parties and birthday fun times and I think [...]

Wow, these kids really live it up. They run around, play, get tons of treats and toys, and then get to take a nap and do it all over again when they get up.
And during the last week in October, that just doubles in craziness! LOL
We have actually had only two parties this week but [...]

I just put in an order for Sam’s preschool backpack! I’m so excited about it. I gave her ten different choices and printed them out on a piece of paper. I did not include the princess or Dora backpacks that we had seen at Target. After she looked at all of them very closely, she [...]

I’ve been thinking about preschool for Sam and whether or not she needs a backpack. For the past few weeks I was thinking, nah, she doesn’t need a backpack. I didn’t really remember seeing any in their cubicles when we toured the school but then again, I didn’t really remember…
Then Pottery Barn for Kids [...]

I am so sad. Sammie’s lovey which she had attached herself to for the past two years has been tossed aside and forgotten. A few days ago she started laying out blankets everywhere and putting two of her dolls and piggy to ’sleep’ in our room. Then, when it was time for bed she didn’t [...]

We finally selected a preschool after so much deliberation! I’ve been to so many websites, visited the schools, talked with way too many people to remember… There are so many great preschools out there. We almost went with Hillsborough which has a wonderful development program with specific curriculum in reading and math that sounded fantastic. [...]

GG has jumped straight into the phase of ‘yum, that looks like candy!’ and is popping everything in his mouth. Like CRAZY. EVERYTHING.
So the other night, I pop him in his high chair [...]

Since it was supposed to be 80 degrees, I decided to throw Sam in panties and play outside. Basically we’ve had pee in the potty about once or twice in the past year. We ask her everyday if she wants to GO on the potty and she always says NO, so we hardly do it. [...]

Well, this month was my first month with no loss. The first two weeks I was doing pretty good and down 1.5 but the middle of the month hit and we went on our trip and then everyone got sick. The last two weeks of the month I was literally looking for sweets multiple times [...]

“Mommy, where are we going?”
“On some errands. Hey, you know you can still call me Momma? I like when you call me Momma.”
“I like to call you Mommy.”
“Oh, well that’s ok. If you ever want to call me Momma though, that would be nice.”
“No, I like calling you Mommy.”
*sniff* It’s just the smallest change but [...]

My BabyCenter newsletter popped into my email box a few days ago and I saved it as the main article seemed pretty interesting, titled “Ten Ways to Build your Child’s Self-Esteem”. I just took the time now and if you have preschool aged children, go take a read through. It’s obvious (as most self-help things [...]

I know, you really can’t cure eczema and diaper rash. But we are doing a great job on Sam lately! She has suffered from light eczema on her knees, feet, elbows, and other places for pretty much all her life. They are not bad spots but they itch and now that she can speak she [...]

“What are we doing today, Momma?”
“We are going to the mall.”
“What are we doing after that?”
… (This is sooo common every day. This conversation can go on and on and on and on…)
“Then, I’m going to the Doctors while you and G stay with Grandma Nana.”
“Oh. You are going to a Doctor appointment?”
“Yep!”
“What hurts?”
“Well, my [...]
