Living The Dream in the Mad-Town
Before having kids you always hear about the “terrible twos”. Well in our house we never really experienced them…honestly we didn’t. In fact, as our daughter reached age two my husband and I thought how awesome that stage was and how grateful we were to have a child that was so fun, happy go lucky, [...]
Last week I created an email account for each of my children. Not because all the email addresses will be taken up when it’s time for them to create an account (..har har), but because I want to forward memories to them that I don’t want to get lost in translation. Everyone is getting older, [...]
Being a Mom is by far the most rewarding thing in my life. I’d like to think of myself as a good Mom. I love on, nurture, snuggle, run errands with my daughter, take her to swimming, gymnastics, to friends’ houses to play and I make sure she is well fed and clothed. But I [...]
I am a self proclaimed germ-a-phob. I fully admit that I carry hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes with me everywhere I go. I wipe down carts at department and grocery stores. I use to use those cart covers when my daughter was younger. Now there are times I think I take it too seriously and [...]
Since the weather has started to be nice and warm we are outside ALL the time! I am always trying to think of new crafty projects that my almost three year old can do. She was really excited when I told her we were going to make our own bird feeders. In fact, her response [...]
Reading to our daughter became a tradition almost instantly. We all know there are a ton of benefits to reading to our children starting at a very young age. According a study done at the Rhode Island Hospital, two groups of eight month olds were compared. One group was read to often while the other [...]
I know that I am probably preaching to the parental choir but my daughter is is horrible eater. This tread towards terrible eating started when we moved away from the baby food, and started to feed her solid food. She has never had an adventurous palate, but at least in the beginning we could get [...]
Image from Potty Training Toddlers Made Easy After my daughter was born I had already decided that potty training and transitioning to a big girl bed (more on this later) were going to be two of the hardest things we (my husband and I) accomplished as parents…at least during the early years. My daughter is [...]
‘Tis the season for Christmas cookies! I have such fond memories of baking christmas cookies with my mom when I was younger….cornflake wreaths, peanut butter kisses (my favorite!), cutout cookies and many more! I’ve been trying to continue the tradition with my kids but to be honest, baking with kids is sometimes….HARD. According to my [...]
The holidays are my favorite time of the year. It’s a time for decorating, baking cookies, shopping and parties. It’s a time for spreading good cheer and days filled with that classic warm and fuzzy feeling. It’s also a time for us to give back to those in need. It’s extremely important to my husband [...]
