Wet Bags: Not Just For Cloth Diapers Any More
Have you ever wondered what’s in my diaper bag? Ok. Truthfully, I don’t even use a diaper bag. Since I already throw out a pretty strong mother vibe, I try to maintain whatever semblance of put-together adultness that I possibly can. For me, that means carrying an overflowing women’s purse, with diapers and wipe cases…
Highly Caffeinated
“Triple Grande Non-Fat Caramel Macchiato please” That’s on a good day. On a bad day: “Make it a quad.” I wake up in the morning and pick out a k-cup. I have my mug with me throughout the day either nuking or refilling as needed. And sometimes, I even pour myself a cup of coffee…
Trick: Happy Halloween!
You’d think that a dragon wouldn’t hesitate to eat a monkey all up, but actually, they’re both quite tame. What did your kids dress up like this Halloween? Don’t forget to check out yesterday’s post for my Halloween treat to you!
Dear Gavin: A Love Letter to My Six Month Old
(I will update the weight and length after our doctor appointment on Wednesday.) How long is a lifetime? For you, it is six months. And for me too, sort of. Because it seems like you have been in this world and in our family for ever. It feels like our family wasn’t really complete without you. But…
Fluffy Family
“I’ll be right back. Mommy just needs to change Gavin’s diaper.” Little feet hit the floor behind me as I turn to walk towards my bedroom. “I come too, Mama! Wait a me!” I lay Gavin down on his change mat and turn to look at the stack of cloth diapers sitting on the dresser….
Thankscomplaining
I have been trying to write a post for Thanksgiving all week. I want to adequately express what I am thankful for and I just have not been able to. It isn’t that I am ungrateful. I could write a list a mile long of the blessings in my life. But I am having trouble articulating this list in…
Least Favourite
It was Sunday morning and we were on our way to church. I was in the driver’s seat and my two babies were sitting peacefully in their carseats behind me, watching the word zip by outside the windows. As I pulled up to a red light, I took a peek at each of my boys…
New Fluff: Getting Started with Cloth Diapers
No matter the reason, once you have decided to use cloth diapers on your children, there is still more deciding to do. Just the process of getting the cloth diapers can be overwhelming, especially to someone who has never used them before. There are just so many options available, which is awesome, but also OhEmGee! so…
The Sleep Lies
If you have a Mom friend or two (or a million) on Facebook, you have probably seen a status update like this, or something similar, before: O-M-G! My baby just SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!! Best baby ever! If you’re a Mom with a baby, you’re going to feel hate. If you’re childless, you will wonder…
Mommy Gets Fluffy
Before having a baby, I was pretty sure that I wasn’t going to go out of my way to make my kid organic. I may have even rolled my eyes at the Crunchy-Mom-type who treats high-fructose corn syrup like poison, who puts flax in her kid’s birthday cake, who refuse to purchase Johnson & Johnson…
