So guess what? I'm officially part of the waddle club, again! No, I'm not pregnant. Tricked ya, didn't I? Seriously, though. This afternoon it hit me. I'm no more mobile today than I was when I was lugging a 7lb baby around in my uterus. Why, you ask? The infant car seat. Trying to schlep a baby (especially a baby who happens to be ...
Is it still considered back-2-school shopping when it’s for an infant?
We all know that craziness is part of the parental territory. I've always loved back to school shopping. So, I couldn't resist. Take a little peek... So, the above is just a small glimpse of the back2schlgear I'm currently washing/drying/folding/arranging in a certain lil lady's nursery. Call me crazy. Call my daughter "Fashionista-in-training" And do you also remember the specific breed of craziness, ...
Mommy’s Law:
(n.) An adage or maxim that states that as soon as one thinks that everything is going wonderfully, something must occur to knock one down a peg, or two. For instance, take this morning: Our day started out beautifully. I woke up early, got dressed and set off for a morning walk to our favorite bagel shop, with my husband, ...
So far, the most awkward moment of my day
occurred when I was strolling along, pushing my baby in her baby-car-seat-stroller (not to be confused with her big girl stroller. It was windy. She needed more coverage, today.) and happened upon a toddler in the exact same outfit that my daughter was wearing. I, of course, ran up to the little girl, who was sitting ...
When I named my daughter after a Disney Princess,
I didn't take this into consideration. It can get really bad. Yes, I am slowly bankrupting myself one plastic tsotchke at a time.
Realllllly????
You know the age old expression that tells you that "there's no such thing as a stupid question..."? Yeah, I'm here to disagree. In the past year, I have been asked more silly questions than I can count. And, if I'm being completely honest, I may have asked a few doozies myself. Today, I had my 4-month-Post-Pregnancy check-up with my ...
That’s how I know she loves me.

Hot Shots, Part Deux
Yesterday, my daughter had her 4-month-old check-up. This meant getting her weight, measuring the circumference of her head, having the doctors and nurses ooh and ahh over her cuteness, and, of course shots. Now, I went into the appointment feeling like an old pro. We had been through this before. Except, this time, it was a different nurse. So, when I asked her if she ...
Free to Be (And to Wear Backwards Jeans)
Originally published on Babyssentials For most parents, the choice to send a child to school is made for many reasons; you want your child to learn, you want your child to socialize, you want your child to expand his or her horizons, and, perhaps most importantly of all, you want your child to ...
speaking of glitter,
only my daughter would be completely unable to pose for her "I am 4-months-old-today-photo" because she is too distracted by her gold glittery toesies. Yes, instead of being enamored with my singing, smiling, cheering and chanting, her eyes are glued to her sparkly socks. They are pretty fabulous. Maybe she'll let me borrow. Happy 4 month Birthday to my sweet princess. Glitter for ...
