November 1, 2008 So far, motherhood is coming and going with me. I feel like I’m starting to get the hang of things every once in a while, then I hit a snag and feel as if I don’t know what the heck I’m doing. Noah is a wonderful baby so far. He is sleeping […]

Diary of a New Mom

No. This post is not a review of the Lifetime movie with the same name as my post. This post is more about the stigma and pressure that society places on the shoulders of parents; in particular the mom’s. There are tons of rules about how we are “supposed” to raise our children. Without question […]

Sins of the Mother

I am a Stay-at-home mom. The laundry is always behind…and someone is always missing a sock. I spend more time cleaning up after my two year old, than I do myself. I can count the number of times that I have gone to the bathroom in private in the past two and a half years, […]

Ballad of a Stay-at-home Mom

When the skies are overcast and gray And the snow decides to fall and stay… We stay inside the house, you see… Just the little guy, Thomas and me. We play with cars, we play with trains We play with blocks and we fly airplanes. We laugh and squeal and giggle and shout. Isn’t that […]

A Playtime Poem

Men have been talking about them for what seems like centuries; my husband swoons [okay, so men don’t really swoon, but you know what I mean] over the idea of a 55” plasma, a big comfy couch and every gaming system known to man right at his finger tips. Oh and did I mention that […]

The Mom Cave

There are just some things that I adore more than others. Like when my husband does completely random sweet and thoughtful things for me; or when the little guy comes up to me at sporadic moments and simply looks at me and says “Hug, Mama!” with his arms spread out. Finding my favorite tea bags […]

Simple Things

There are times that I step back from the mirror [or the computer] and wonder, what on EARTH am I thinking? It’s no lie. There are times when I honestly and truthfully just annoy myself. I sit back sometimes when I’m at my worst and wonder why my husband puts up with my unbelievably frustrating […]

I Annoy Myself

There no doubt about it: mom’s have super powers. Who else can carry a purse, diaper bag, camera bag, cell-phone, iPod, every toy known to man AND a child [or two…or five!] without missing a beat. We can blog, tweet, answer emails, talk on the phone and answer the unending stream of questions that flow […]

How Pixar and M&M’s Save my Sanity

You know, people are shady when it comes to telling a mom-to-be what life is really going to be like after their bundle of joy is born. Seriously. It’s kind of sad that we knowing moms hold out on the expecting mothers who are shamelessly clueless as to what they are getting themselves into. It’s […]

What I wish they’d told me earlier

Despite how much I love my son, he drives me insane. To say that my child never did anything wrong, would be insane…and an outright lie. To pretend that it doesn’t annoy the you-know-what out of me when my son throws a tantrum would also be a lie. So. Rather than pretending any of the […]
