OK, I admit it. I’m a frugal mama. How the heck else do you stay on top of two growing kids eating you out of house and home while they outgrow things faster than you can replace them? It just doesn’t make sense to spend money on new stuff every time you turn around. Especially [...]

So we have not seen Sweetness show any more interest in the big girl potty since her little experiment that lead to a wet tushy a while back so we thought we’d try out a little something different. While purchasing the now vital door handle locks for the inside of Sweetness’s bedroom door, Hubby found [...]

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 plane [...]

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 system [...]

Earlier this week I attended a Compassionate Parenting class, the last in a set of three, offered through my co-op preschool program. This class is based very much on the Sanity Circus class I took last year. It is basically the Positive Discipline curriculum, but the small print says the instructor can’t call it that [...]

“When someone hurts you, it creates an emotional tie that binds you to that person. Only through true forgiveness can we break those ties and free ourselves to move past the hurt.” – Elmer Laydon
A friend of mine on Facebook posted this quote and it made me stop dead in my tracks as the truth [...]

I love Wednesdays. I particularly love Wednesdays when there is no school. I have Wednesdays off from work and when there is no preschool for Sweetness, I get to really enjoy the day with my babies. And there are major extra bonus points when it’s a beautiful day. Yes, imagine that, a warm beautiful day [...]

Mr. Man, in all his 10-month chunky glory, blew us away these past couple of days. At first I thought it was a fluke, so I didn’t jinx it by talking about it here. But now, after five days of pulling the same stunt with increased level of proficiency, I’m feeling rather safe in announcing [...]

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.
I’m close to more than four years of poor sleep now (I count those nine months of swollen, irregular digestion, insomnia, hot flashes and hourly bathroom [...]
