LIFE AS MOM

Holiday Candy Rant

I skipped writing a post about Valentines Day because I’m really not a fan. I might get back into it for Annabelles sake next year when she’s a little older because it’s fun for kids, especially teenagers and their first crushes but for adults I think it’s an over rated marketing scam. I think that says a lot coming […]

A dogs life

As I write this I’m going through a very real, very emotional mourning process. In some instances blogging has become a very cathartic process for me and right now that is exactly what I need to help me move past this. Nothing has happened to my dogs. Nothing except the very real, very painful, very […]

Pregnant, Nursing or Trying to get Knocked up? Eat this!

We’ve all inevitably heard tales of morning sickness. Some lucky women don’t see much of it and float along like glowing, beautiful, mythical creatures during their pregnancy. Then there are those of us who gain 10lbs during our first trimester because the constant nausea makes us want to eat carbs, all day long, to keep […]

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 […]

Love it or Leave it? Learning Tower

Wow it’s been a little bit since the last post. Days have come and gone and between the gorgeous weather, getting back into the swing of the school year and life I guess I haven’t written. I didn’t realize how long it’d been. So what exactly is a learning tower? The best way to describe […]

Starting Over

It’s been quite a while since Annabelle and I started the toddler wars. We’ve since been on vacation to visit my parents in Casa de Campo in the Dominican. The beginning of the toddler wars was pretty brutal, trying to eliminate all signs of processed foods from Annabelle’s diet. On vacation it wasn’t much easier, […]

Food War Teachings

Ultimatley getting Annabelle to eat nothing but real food was easier than I thought it would be. It’s been about 2 weeks since I started the food wars  and although I haven’t gotten Annabelle to eat plain fruit or veggies she has been drinking yogurt and fruit smoothies and eating veggie filled chicken and turkey […]

Food Wars – Days 6-7

Day 6 was a little bit hectic. Again scrambled eggs and coconut oil covered waffles for breakfast. Not very exciting. Annabelle goes to daycare from 9-3 on Tuesdays over the summer so that mommy can catch up on her reality TV  write, blog, cook, organize, workout and get massages. Apparently spending time at home with mommy […]

Toddler Wars Day 5

The food wars just keep getting better! Annabelle is branching out and trying new things. Not everything that I put on her plate but for the most part she’s trying at least something. Annabelle used to have yogurt or oatmeal (steel cut) for breakfast pretty much every morning for breakfast up until she was about […]

Food Wars Days 3-4

Day three was quite a disaster. Annabelle woke up at 5am with a fever. No fun. Lots of drool, chubby cheeks and a fever can only mean one thing. More teeth. I think I’m going to throw a party in honor of the last tooth coming in because this is exhausting. One of the things […]
