I used to be grossed out by my sons’ bath toys. Not really the toys themselves, but the ick they seem to create. No matter how well I drained the water from them there was always gunk that formed, especially inside the favorite toys that squirted water. There is nothing like squeezing a toy and […]

Mornings are not a happy time around here. Neither boy wakes up in a good mood, a trait they have gotten from their mother. We’re a grumpy lot, the three of us. I used to just accept it, that we would be three grumpy bears each and every morning. Sure, there were a few times […]

My oldest son used to get horrible diaper rashes. I mean aweful. That is the main reason we switched to cloth diapers. Though he’s still got sensitive skin, there were no more huge raw spots that he would get after just a few minutes. And trust me, that used to happen far too often.

No mom can handle being the sole parent 24/7. Even when she has a partner who helps her there will be times when she needs a break. But taking a break can mean a big plate of guilt for some moms. We’re supposed to handle it all with a smile, never get upset or tired, […]

We are pretty lucky to live a few minute walk from the park. When the weather is nice we can walk down without needing to carry much stuff with us. The walk to the park is usually a great one. We laugh, skip, sing, and talk about all the things we are going to do […]

Toddlers can be a little crazy at times. If only they came with instrustion manuals to know what to do. Then when they refuse to eat anything yellow, stop taking naps, and begin carrying a stinky blanket around everywhere we moms would know what to do. Or at least pretend that we know what to […]
