If you’ve been reading my blog lately, you’ll know that March hasn’t been the easiest. Returning to work, Starting daycare, Sick days, Car accident, … I am just so ready for this month to be over with.

Role Reversal
Due to a few unforeseen circumstances, Cameron has not been able to go to daycare at all this week. And except for today, Dan has been at home with Cameron each day. Now, on Monday, both of us were pretty sick, but since then, I’ve been at work and Dan has been playing Stay-At-Home-Dad. On the first…
Just What I Need
Husbands. Sigh. I think I speak for most, if not all wives when I say that they can get under our skins. My husband? He doesn’t really see the mess on the counter that needs to be wiped up. My husband? He isn’t necessarily the best diaper changer. My husband? He isn’t really handy around…
Sick of the Sick
Daycare is going fine. The teacher is nice, the kids have fun, and Cameron is so messy and played out by the end of the day that it is super easy to get him bathed and in bed. Except that daycare isn’t going fine. Not at all. Because we’ve been struck with The Daycare Plague….

Birthday (Week) Month! Icing on Top
Birthday Month Part One: Party Planning Birthday Month Part Three: Floating On Air I have never been a huge cake lover. White and chocolate cake? How mediocre. How blah. Put icing on top and the tasteless cake becomes even worse. Too much boring sweetness; And I say that as a sweet lover. Although icing can…
Pledging
I’ve been blogging for a long time. Eight years to be exact. And I know that blogging is an excellent way to network and meet new people. I actually met my husband through blogging. True story! We met online by reading each other’s blog. The first thing my husband ever said to me? It’s kind…
