How much credibility do you grant to those Old Wives Tales and suggestions from days gone by? Let me tell you something: I was always one to say nay when told to wave a threaded needle over my pregnant belly, but wouldn't you know that that darn thing spun around in a circle over the little girl in my ...
Wordless Wednesday: The SLEEP Edition
As in, my precious, sweet, lovely, happy baby girl is a fabulous sleeper, as long as she is cuddled up next to me, resting her head on my shoulder and holding my hand in hers. Yeah, remember that whole sleep issue? No? 'Cause you can totally read about it here and here and here and also right here and totally here and yes, here and ...
“Oh, look out you rock ‘n rollers”
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMQ0Ryy01yE] There were a lot of changes-- a lot of new-- in the land of mom this week. Having a lot to be thankful for also comes with some major adjustments. "For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else." I didn't write that. Ralph Waldo Emerson did. And, he's right. Obviously. He's Ralph Waldo Emerson, and ...
Give me a head with hair
My daughter just woke up from a 2 1/2 hour nap with a mohawk. This means 2 things: She had a heck of a 2 1/2 hours and She. Has. Hair. Flow it, show it, baby. Flow it, show it.

A few years back, a veteran mother told me something that I have never forgotten; She said that the sign of a true mother is a woman who can spot her child's runny nose from across the room, wipe the kid's snot with her bare hand and then wipe it off on her own jeans. At the time, (long before I ...
Once upon a snowy sundown,
I stretched out on my sweet baby girl's floor, as we listened to music, and then my girl crawled over to me, and she planted her two palms on either side of my face and lowered her two tiny rose-colored lips onto mine. And she lingered there. And I was whole. And that, my friends, is what they are talking about when they write Happily Ever After. ...
when you decide to give your 10 month old a pedicure,
This is bound to happen. Still, totally worth it.
305 days later
and I still can't believe how much my love continues to grow. It is, truly, unquantifiable. And, the weirdest thing? Tomorrow, my tiny little sesame seed turns ten, count 'em, ten months old. Which is really rather strange, considering she was born 10 minutes ago. Man, do I love this little girl. Love her love her love her, I do. Ten months. And, it happened; I just started to cry. Time to go ...
Nourishment
You might say I’m a worrier. I have worried about baby poop. I have worried about the future. I have worried about poisoning my unborn child. And, I have most certainly worried about what my daughter is eating. Is she eating a well balanced diet? Is she getting enough food? Is she getting all of her vitamins? Is she growing properly? Is she going ...
