SubscribeDubs and I walked up to the Farmer’s Market on Sunday. He was an absolute angel. And I happened to plan well.
We putzed around all morning, waiting for the eye rubbing and classic tired toddler signs to emerge. As soon as they did I threw on my running shoes, plopped him in the jogger and [...]

STORIES OF TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS, LAUGHTER AND HYSTERIA. POOR BIG DUB, YOU GOT ME FOR A MAMA... I'm just an average mama who's not afraid to say all the things you know you are thinking. Or just not smart enough to keep my mouth shut.
Secrets
Pediatric Dentures
I have been waiting and waiting for Dubs to get some decent teeth. He cut his first ones at 8 months, bottom two, front and center.
And then nothing for months… and months… six of them to be exact…
I may have been anxious because I was tired of hearing “oh, only two teeth, at a year? [...]
Daycare Smiles
In an attempt to showcase how well Dubs is making the transition to daycare (in-home, same place his two cousins go, and for all of a day and a half a week), his provider told me “he was smiling today, I even got a picture.”
I thought, “huh, so this means he normally doesn’t really smile?” [...]
Oil and Yogurt
Welcome to the July Carnival of Natural Parenting: You Are What You Eat
This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Code Name: Mama and Hobo Mama. This month our participants have written about their struggles and successes with healthy eating. Please read to the end to find a [...]
Tables Have Finally Turned
The tables have finally turned.
I am tired. Real, real tired. We slipped back into old behavior, bad habits… Old habits die hard I guess.
I got about a month or so of decent sleep. Dubs was doing a nice block from about 8 until 5 am. I’d get him and bring him back to bed with [...]
Tricycle Stunt Bum
Tonight I took him to a concert in the park. We saw the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies. Good, clean family fun. Except when the show starts at 6, and you get there at 5 to scope it out and park close (in case of an emergency melt-down exit) and it happens to be the very first [...]
In a Flash
Gone. Sleep. In a flash. It’s a vague and distant memory…
I slept 6 hour blocks for about 3 weeks straight. I got cocky and pretty comfortable.
Dub sensed it. He smelled it on me and decided to cut as many teeth as possible. Like his top front four. At [...]
YOGURT
I am devastated over the oil spill. I truly am. I started collecting Bruno’s dog hair to send down to soak up the oil and then heard it was of no use, they weren’t using the hair that was being sent.
So I did what any heart-broken, semi-hippy, tree-loving mama would do. I [...]
Skinny Jeans
I got into a pair of pre-prego jeans today. I felt real sorry for them. Real sorry. And I am pretty sure that if they were worn for an extended period of time they would turn into some poor excuse for fashion jeans (don’t let anyone try and fool you, tearing at the [...]
The Mall
He has become that kid.
It is awkward being the mom of the toddler who has no fear and truly thinks he is a big kid. Dub now runs with the big boys. We haven’t been to the mall in well over a month, maybe 6 weeks or longer even. Today it was [...]
