When a person becomes a mother they tend to try to hold onto themselves in certain (small) ways. I think kids pick up on this and then try to sabotage your efforts to maintain full focus on themselves. Let’s share a few examples shall we? I usually buy those cheap facial brushes to wash my… Continue reading Little Bratty Sabotagers

And The Award Goes To….
MY HUSBAND! For the best valentines day gift ever. What is it you ask? It’s the new Dirt Devil Kone hand vacuum cleaner. How romantic hey? I had to poke, I had to prod, I had to remind but I made my romance happen and my floors clean at the same time. This stemmed… Continue reading And The Award Goes To….
YAY PEE PEE!
I have a question for you… What do you get when you mix a 2 year old with a bowl of popcorn, a cup of juice and Oprah and stick him on the potty???….. YAY PEE PEE!!! That was actually the 2nd time on the potty yesterday and his 2nd, 3rd, 4th… Continue reading YAY PEE PEE!
B.L.A.S.P. – ing
With every birth of a child comes a small yet significant perk for the mother. Her body cycles slowwww down and take a little break from crazy fertility land into a nice, calm land where you don’t have to worry about cycles and late-night trips to the drug store. It’s really the only good thing… Continue reading B.L.A.S.P. – ing
No Longer a One-Trick Pony
Well, it’s happening. Ikey is gracefully sliding into a….well…a person. He’s no longer just some leech that wiggles and sucks me dry. He’s actually doing quite a lot. Much to my obvious dismay. He’s mastered our stair case and will b-line his way to it at any open opportunity. He’s does the whole thing with… Continue reading No Longer a One-Trick Pony
A Mother’s Love
I get this feeling every night as I sneak into my children’s room and tuck them in while they sleep. I feel completely and totally vulnerable. For some reason seeing my sleeping children remind me of how delicate they are, how easily they could slip from my fingers. My hear suddenly fills with this feeling… Continue reading A Mother’s Love
It’s an AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH Kinda Day
K yesterday’s post was a floppy flop. Go ask some questions!! I might go on strike because no one loves me! What a morning I had. I must admit, I was not a very good mommy this morning. I get SO frustrated that I can’t even see straight. It all started with Silas stomping on… Continue reading It’s an AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH Kinda Day
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… Continue reading If Only I Had Known
Naked Mommy
(That title is going to give me some uncomfortable search engine hits I just know it) A few months back Leanne and I were chatting and somehow the topic of me showering with my kids was brought up. She brought up that Silas is going to start remembering things soon so I should probably stop… Continue reading Naked Mommy
Matriarch Mushroom Soup
When I was pregnant with Silas I was horribly sick. I was throwing up for at least 7 months. I spent a lot of time on the couch in front of the TV. During that time I discovered something: The Food Network. Never was I attracted to cooking shows before and I don’t actually remember… Continue reading Matriarch Mushroom Soup
Brothers
You know, there’s something I’ve really been taking delight in lately. It’s the bond that Silas and Isaac are forming. It’s how much they actually care for each other. It’s such a beautiful sight. Silas has been a great big brother thus far. He accepted Isaac into our home and seemed to somehow (primal instinct?)… Continue reading Brothers
Stay Like This
I love your beautiful cheeks, they get so darn rosy. I press them against mine and hold you tightly and rock back and forth. The flood of warmth fills my core and I feel painfully and intoxicatingly in love with you. Gosh it hurts. I love your eyes, how they look so much like mine… Continue reading Stay Like This
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… Continue reading 6 Months Old!!
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… Continue reading My Fat, Fat Isaac
A Bunch of Stuff
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… Continue reading A Bunch of Stuff
