It’s the hip hop happenin’ thing, so I figured I would throw my hat into the ring with my own list of 10 things every child (in my house) needs to hear (CONSTANTLY.) If you’re looking for a deep and meaningful list, there are plenty out there and I don’t really want to beat a… Continue reading 10 Things Every Child Needs to Hear
It’s been a weird week. On Monday, my husband slipped and fell while working on his crane truck, and while falling is never a good time, he unfortunately wound up having his pinkie catch somehow as he fell and basically just destroyed it. He was fortunate enough that he didn’t actually lose it – a… Continue reading Pinky Swear
It all started innocently enough. The girls were eating toast, I was preparing some oatmeal cereal for Jackson, and I thought I should add some fruit to our breakfast. It was Saturday, why not a special treat for Olivia… I’ll bust out the mandarins. The peak. The high. She abandoned her toast like yesterday’s old… Continue reading Mel-orange-drama
I was going to write “What’s up, buttercup?” but I’m pretty sure I’ve already used that title. Bananapants sounds like it is potentially crude but it’s a phrase my 5 year old throws around and apparently it refers to pants made of bananas. Which is gross and you can’t sit down, so it’s an insult.… Continue reading What’s up, bananapants?
Babies are adorable so that we adore them even when they won’t nap for more than 15 minutes at a time so they’re so overtired they are alternately laughing and screaming. It’s science. Jackson, 4 months. Naps = broken. At least he still sleeps through the night. I don’t actually sound like that, that… Continue reading Because the world needed another home video of a laughing baby
Just a quick pop-by say-hi. I thought I’d share something I came up with to distract my adorable monster Olivia (who refers to herself as both Olivia AND Monster so you know its legit) yesterday. She is pretty obedient, but of the school of ‘mom didn’t specifically say Don’t Climb Up The Side Of The… Continue reading Mission : Play With Your Food
It’s amazing to me that I don’t get paid just to write blog titles, first of all. Thirdly, I had the flu. (I skipped second just to be contrary, because it’s been that kind of week.) The flu bug only really took me down for about 24 hours, but that kind of overlapped with the… Continue reading Hey Howdy Ho Blog Title
Allow me to tell you the sordid tale of editing these photos. Let me warn you… it is not for the weak of heart. It all started out innocently enough; the girls decided they wanted to play outside for a while, and I snapped a few shots of their sweet little oreo-covered faces while they… Continue reading The Stuff of Nightmares
I have very classy and sophisticated taste in music. Just kidding… OPPA GANGNAM STYLE! Feel free to picture me dancing like a moron to that, I can assure you, the mental picture is probably fairly accurate. Don’t get me wrong, I also have classy and sophisticated taste in music… but I can definitely get down… Continue reading Jackson Style
We have thrush. Jackson is taking it like a man. Read: very poorly. Think man-cold. He has man-thrush and he wants his mommy. Since we started treating him with genetian violet (Hence the Why So Serious? face above) he is back to sleeping through the night. He just politely requests that I hold him,… Continue reading code purple
