For me….well at least I’ll have a helper for two days–oh wait only one as he’s playing golf on Sunday.
I have so much I want to post about, but can’t quite pin it all down.
Peepers only woke up twice last night–once at 11:20 and once at 3am. We are making progress and all are all [...]
I knew this transition from one child to two would be hard. Boy oh boy, did I underestimate just how hard it would be. I am sure the difficulty is made worse by my own fatigue and stress about about the new baby, etc. I have found myself completely at my wits end when it [...]

There was a time when all my wonderful son would drink was milk, drinkable yogurt (kefir) and water. Now he, without pause, rejects anything that isn’t juice and it must be juice he approves of. I have been really good to make sure he is drinking about 90% water and 10% juice, but he is [...]
After I hang out with my mom friends, I always have this feeling of unity and difference at the same time. We are all mothers and our parenting struggles are much the same, but there are somethings we will just never understand about each others’ experiences.
