Motherhood

Defiant at 2

The other day I had a day off from work while my parents attended some medical appointments. It was a pretty good day off with baby girl. We did a little shopping, had lunch, made silly faces in the car…you know, typical day out with a toddler.
While out shopping, we bought the Munchkin Turtle Bath [...]

Feeding My Toddler

Motherhood

My baby girl is 2 years old. Well 2 1/2 really. Not sure if it makes a difference.
She is what you would call a picky eater. I call it annoying.
She refuses to eat meat, unless it’s bacon (turkey) & sometimes deli meat.
She refuses to eat any veggies, except for baby carrots (sometimes).
You’ll see the word [...]

Poop in my Fridge

Motherhood

Yes, you read that right.
There is poop.in.my.fridge.
There’s something I never thought I would say.
Or have in my fridge, for that matter.
But yet, here I am. And, I’m blogging it. Cause, that’s what the cool kids do these days.
Anyway, here’s the story.
Baby girl has been having some stomach issues since yesterday.
I took her to [...]

Brushing Teeth Technique for Toddlers/Preschoolers

Motherhood

I was watching last week’s Supernanny – I’m lucky I have a DVR, otherwise I’d never watch TV!
Anyway, in last week’s episode, the family had an almost 5 year old girl, and twin 3 1/2 year old boys.
Well, the parents were complete control freaks! They wouldn’t let the kids run a few feet ahead of [...]

Working Mothers – A Delicate Balance

Motherhood

It’s Wednesday!
What a hectic week so far.
Work is super busy. Of course, the home life is always hectic.
I find that more often than not, I have an inner battle going on.
Part of me knows that I can’t possibly keep up with everything – home, work, husband, daughter, myself, parents, etc.
Yet, the other half, for whatever [...]

Getting Pretty Big, huh?

Motherhood

For all you moms or soon-to-be moms out there, I’m sure you can relate. We’ve all heard those annoying comments or questions when pregnant.
The one I used to hate the most was, “Getting Pretty Big, huh?“.
I used to just smile and nod, or fake a lil laugh, but man, do I wish I could have [...]

Toddler Bed – Is it Time?

Motherhood

My 18 month old daughter climbed out of her crib last night.
She didn’t even cry or talk.
We have no idea how long she was up and out of her crib. Just that around 4:50 am, she said something (not sure what), and when the husband went to check on her, there she was. Standing by [...]
