It amazes me the things that you begin think about when you have a child of your own. Things that normally would have never even crossed your mind become topics of household discussion and reason for debate. The latest topic? Santa Clause. I have never really thought twice about the idea of Santa Clause or […]

Well. My baby is no longer a baby…atleast, according to the “My First Haircut” Certificate he got today. I finally broke down and took my sweet little boy to have his beautiful little light brown curls chopped off. I was very proud of myself. I’m such an emotional person. I figured I would cry. But […]

 This is the first time I have participated in “5 Question Friday” with Mama M at “My Little Life.” But seeing as how I am currently at a loss for things to blog about [Could it be all of the turkey making me sleepy? Or the black Friday shopping frenzy?], I decided today to join in […]

Where does your time go every day? Do you clean? Do you play with your kid(s)? Do you shop? Do you sleep? Do you do all of the above? I’ve said it before…my time is precious. I don’t have nearly enough of it and what little bit I do have, I want to spend on […]

If I hear one more scream or squeal, I am going to rip my hair out! If I have to wash one more dish, do one more load of laundry, pick up one more pair of dirty underwear…I’m going to lose my mind. If I have to wipe one more puddle of spilt juice off […]

The things that I am thankful for have made a huge change in the last 3 years. In college, cries of gratitude and thanks fell on the ears of all who were around when spare change was found in the couch cushions or under the bed. My cute apartment, my seemingly never-ending cashflow [that, surprise […]

I am tired. Noah’s new found never ending amount of energy is leaving me worn completely out. I swear, when he actually stars walking, I am doomed. Husband has been home most of the morning today and has gotten a little dose of what I’ve suddenly began to deal with. Since we returned home from […]

It’s hazy out this morning. Looks a lot like rain is coming. I’m starving. It’s too early to be awake. Noah is sitting in the middle of the living room floor in his robot t-shirt & diaper eating cheerio’s and watching Sponge Bob.  Husband is going to be gone literally all day working [gotta love duty week…not.] And […]

Have you stopped lately to notice how eerily similar us moms are in a lot of ways? It’s like, somehow or another we share this unspoken, kinda creepy bond. Sometimes you can just look at a mom and tell what she’s feeling. What’s on her mind. How much  [or more often than not, how little] […]
