I Slammed my finger in the door. I mean I got it really good! Saw stars and everything. But being a busy stay-at-home mom, I don’t have time for minor mishaps. So I say a little swear under my breath and keep on moving. Well 2 hours later I can see (through my polish) my…
My toddler won’t sleep… and he bites!
Ok so it’s 9:35 pm and my almost-20-month-old is still wandering around like a zombie. Between the attempt to crawl over the crib rail at 13-mos and the back and forth housing setup between two cities for the last 10-months we typically lie down with him to put him to sleep. I know this time won’t…

4-wheelin
So the kiddo experienced his first truck-camping and four-wheeling today. Believe it or not he fell asleep despite his head bobbing all around in the carseat for over an hour on the way out. What was even funnier was watching a 19-month old try to dance to “Thrift Shop” and keep missing his mouth with the granola…
Visit
We decided to kick this official effort off on our annual visit, and it sparked me to create another page: “One for the ‘Book’”. Since H started growing her ‘clan’ first, I got all the great kid-moment stories in phone calls or texts. After awhile, we decided she’d better write these down because her kids…
Bending?
Let me start by introducing myself. I am H the other member of this dynamic friendship. S and I share many of the same values, and I worry that sometimes I am bending entirely too much. I have three little girls (7, 5 and 3), and when my first daughter was born I chewed a…
Ready, Set, Go!
The impetus for this blog is that one of my best friends didn’t feel like she could carry on a conversation about current events with friends. In her 3-young kid-centered household television or radio news is not age-appropriate and time is too limited to sift through all the opinion on websites or print.
