Becoming a Big Girl

October 5, 2009 By Melanie Edwards Leave a Comment

I realized the other day that I never actually updated you on our potty training issues. You’ll be glad to know that baby girl is officially potty trained. Full out. All the way. For real. The girl goes to the potty by herself without us having to remind her, she’ll tell us if she needs […]

You Can Only Say Hurry So Many Ways

September 7, 2009 By Melanie Edwards 14 Comments

I hate that nowadays the hot phrase in our house is “You’re wasting time baby girl.” For one reason or another it’s always, “Eat faster,” or “Don’t take too long,” or “You have 5 minutes.” We’re often talking about time somehow or another. But, it’s necessary. Life dictates it to be so. I HAVE to […]

August 21, 2009 By Melanie Edwards 17 Comments

My daughter is 3. THREE!!! She does not need to know about Hannah Montana. So, why does everyone and their mom think that it’s prime time my daughter be introduced to her? Is this not a TV show for tween/teenage girls? I’ve seen it a couple of times and it’s definitely geared for girls 10 […]
