Pregnancy Worries Answered
| March 4, 2013 | Posted by The Informal Matriarch under motherhood, nursing, parenting, pregnancy |
So I may be an overly relaxed person with less tendencies to worry than some. I did go through some worries at the beginning of this pregnancy because I had two miscarriages and I lost a bit of faith in my body. Those with high risk pregnancies tend to worry a lot but who could […]

Wow, I came on here and then I got distracted by other web sites. Since I’m getting close to weaning Ikey I’m in the market for a good cleanse. I’m pretty much decided on the Master Cleanse because it’s cheap and I like the idea of fasting for many reasons. I think that fasting helps […]
Pretending

As I write this, Silas is playing the cutest game. He has his “Tebby” bear and is going through his own night time routine. He gives it a little cuddle, a kiss and a hug and says “WHUUUHHH” like he’s being squished. Then he places Tebby gently in my bed and closes the door verrrry […]
If Only I Had Known

Thank you to my sister Jennie for sending me this instruction leaflet that she received in the mail the other day. I think it’s important for all of us to take all of these things very seriously. If I had this on my wall 2 years ago I might not be in this pickle I’m […]
6 Months Old!!

Yay, Ikey is 6 whole months old. I can’t believe it, time is flying by so quickly!! I find the first six months go the slowest so I’m not looking forward to the next 6 months going by too fast. Ikey has just become such a BABY. He sits, he drools, he giggles, he chews […]

mysteries of motherhood The little socks always lose their pairs, I swear there’s a sock fairy that come and takes them. Kids will gobble up something one day and then decide it’s disgusting the next day, what’s up with that? Okay, your diaper is leaking poop…but the carpet is brown… I used to have like […]
My Fat, Fat Isaac

I’m a little late on writing the blog today. Isaac had a good, long nurse and fell asleep. I didn’t want to put him down after. It’s so nice to kiss a baby’s lips when they’re sleeping. Their breath smells so sweet and their lips and all soft and squishy. I swear my kids both […]

Wow, Silas’ birthday party is next week!! I’m so excited. It’s just going to be very small this year, just family pretty much. I can’t handle a crowd, I just don’t wanna. But feel free to still buy him pressies or send money…ha ha!! It’s been slightly exhausting trying to avoid wheat, oats, milk and […]

Another morning, me in my PJ’s drinking my twice (or three times) re-heated cup of coffee, blogging away. I’m the bearer of good and bad news this morning, that’s why I’m writing early, I just need to talk about stuff. Last night Silas and I made this video. I wasn’t expecting it to turn out […]
Dearest Isaac

Oh my Ikey darling, how your frustrate me so. With your “special” whine and your aversion to my bosoms. You cry whenever I leave your sight and you insist on sleeping with me at night, you wouldn’t have it any other way. Oh Isaac, you’ve been constantly drooling and pooping these past few weeks. Your […]

I have this problem and I really don’t know how to make it better. It’s a major major flaw that I have a hard time even wanting to change. I never ever ever get out. I seriously can be locked in my house for a week and hardly notice that I haven’t left. Once I […]

Thirteen Things about The Informal Matriarch 13 things I’m proud of My musical abilities, especially my singing voice. Teaching myself to sing harmony and then teaching myself to find the 3rd part on the fly. I had to learn that quickly because of singing at the church I’m at, I figured it out and now […]
Saved By The Mom
| October 3, 2007 | Posted by The Informal Matriarch under boys, discipline, family, kids, motherhood, nursing, parenting, stay at home mom, tantrums, teething, toddlers |
Yesterday was one of the hardest days I’ve experienced as a mother. I want to cry just thinking about it. Silas was awful, just completely horrible and I have the bruises to prove it. I don’t know if it was the ear infection or teething or what but he was a monster. He’d pick the […]

Every time I sit down here I draw a blank about what I had been planning to write about so I just blab and blab and blab with no direction. I wish I could remember because I’m not finding anything to blab about either. Hmmmmmm. Ikey’s nursing wacky again (I just remembered what I was […]
