LIFE AS MOM

My Milky Update

Where did the last few weeks go? I’ve been meaning to write, there’s been a lot to write about but somehow the days have managed to escape me. And I don’t really have much to show for it. The school year is now in full motion which means that I just have less time. That […]

Skinny mamma or milky mamma?

If you’ve been reading my blog you know that I’ve recently become obsessed with kettle bell bootcamp. I am still loving it and in the first 4 weeks I dropped 7.5 inches! As any exercise junkie I want others to love it as much as I do and feel as good as I do since […]

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 […]

Baby Milestones

I’ve been so busy trying to deal with Annabelles separation anxiety and terrible sleeping habits that I haven’t shared any milestones!

Thank you to our heroes!

It’s 9/11 once again. Thank you to all of the men and women who are fighting to protect our country and our freedom. To some this is just another day and the fact that men and women are making the ultimate sacrifice for us doesn’t really sink in. For others who have loved ones serving […]

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 love weekends

Life has been a little crazy for the past few weeks, we’ve had 2 trips to the pediatrician. The first one was for fluid buildup in her ears – antibiotics again. The second trip was because after the antibiotics for the ear infection Annabelle was still very fussy and not sleeping well. Turns out she […]

More “Windows of Opportunity” in Children

In one of my last posts I told you about the ‘windows of opportunity’ for when babies wire their little brains for certain things. I thought I’d share the rest of the ones we learned from Dr. Pam Schiller. Emotional Intelligence: 0-48 months Trust 0-14 months (now that you know this do you really want […]

TGIF!

Oh my goodness it’s been a busy week, I’m soooo glad it’s Friday. If you read my last post you know that Annabelle was being ridiculously fussy on Monday. Turns out her little ears are filled with fluid. She started grabbing at her ears a little on Tuesday and really didn’t sleep or let me […]

The first day of school is over!

It’s night like tonight that are the hardest, physically, of being a mom. The emotional rollercoaster of being a mom is one thing but the exhaustion of being a working mom is something else entirely. And it’s only Monday. Oh no! Today was my students first day back at school and since I teach pre-k […]
