Are Family Meals a waste of time?

It seems we’re always pressed for time. We wake up in the morning in a hurry to get ourselves and our families ready to hurry out the door. Then we eat a quick lunch at work or at home and then dinner is a whirlwhind of dirty dishes, unwinding, getting things ready for the next […]

Our Teething Story

Annabelle’s molars are coming in! Oh fun times! Molars are huge and the pain that comes with them seems to huge as well. When Annabelle’s first molar came in it was pretty rough, for her and for those around her. There was a lot of crying, screaming, diarrhea, chewing on everything. It was all the […]

After school bonding

The worst part of my day is always having to drop Annabelle off for daycare. You’d think I’d be used to it by now, and in a way I am, but it doesn’t make it any easier. I hate not knowing what she’s doing, how she’s spending her days and missing big milestones, like taking […]

Annabelle’s Lunch Box

Preparing lunches is no quick task in my house. I wish it was. I wish I could just throw something together and be done with it so I could move on to doing something more fun. I’m pretty OCD about making sure that everybody has a lunchbox full of healthy food to take with them […]

Medicine with a side of Corn

I’m not a fan of un-natural food like products that are made in a lab. I don’ t think they have any reason to be in our bodies or on our plates. High fructose corn syrup is one of my biggest pet peeves, especially all of the ads claiming that there’s nothing wrong with it […]

Annabelle friendly restaurants

As Annabelle has now entered the world of finger foods and apparently thinks she’s too big to be fed with a spoon we have opened up a whole new world. At home all the meat and chicken we eat is organic, antibiotic and hormone free and grass fed when possible so that’s all Annabelle has […]

Will she ever sleep?

This has been an insanely long week for Annabelle and I. She hasn’t wanted to sleep in her crib at all, she woke up about 30 min after I wrote my last post and refused to go back into her crib until tonight. Every time I get up off the rocker or start lowering her […]

I like to move it move it!

We all love to brag about our babies and how developmentally advanced they are for their age. Every new, cute thing our baby does is a developmental milestone for a reason. Like crawling. When babies crawl they do what is called ‘crossing the midline’ which really just means that one hand crosses over to the […]

I love you, I wear you

I own 4 baby carriers. I realize some people might think it’s a little excessive, just like some people think breastfeeding at 9 months is a little excessive or that co-sleeping is extreme. Oh well. I believe it’s called attachment parenting and I’m HUGE fan. Annabelle is a very happy baby that loves to smile […]

Taking care of little teeth

Now that Annabelle has cute little teeth I need to figure out how to take care of them. You probably wouldn’t believe me if I told you how many of my PK kids at school have rotted out all their teeth and already have caps, so maybe I’m overly paranoid. I tend to be overly […]
