The Grass is Always Greener

I have decided that I am officially in the “uncomfortable” stage of pregnancy. I know that there are plenty of women out there who get much more uncomfortable than me, and I am actually pretty lucky not to suffer from some of the ailments other women have, but nonetheless I am uncomfortable. I was pondering [...]

What do they put in this stuff???

For those of you who know me well, you know that I have a slight addiction. For those of you who do not know me well, all you would have to do is take a look at the floor in the backseat of my car and you would quickly come to the same conclusion.
I am [...]

Take off your Pants!

Today my mom and I went shopping together. I was hoping to get some good deals on fall clothes for both Madeline and Anthony (our baby due in 2 months, for those of you who may not know). Anyway, we hit some really good sales and I was able to buy some nice clothes at [...]

Time is ticking

Yesterday I scheduled the rest of my doctor’s appointments through my due date. I realized that time is racing by and one day I will blink and open my eyes to the wonderful world of children. Okay, I’m not so sure if wonderful is the proper word to use in this situation. Don’t get me [...]

Adventures in Motherhood

Toddlers go through peaks and valleys when it comes to their behavior. Madeline can be the sweetest most compliant child for a few weeks…basically lull me into a false sense of accomplishment for my superb mothering skills, and then without warning one day she wakes up and is a nightmare toddler. I’ve been through many [...]

Toddler Rite of Passage

Last night I didn’t have anything planned for dinner so I logically thought it would be a good idea to have pizza for dinner. That seems like a fairly normal parenting decision since pizza is always a good standby, however David and I thought we should go eat pizza at Chuck E Cheese. Yeah, I [...]

Rachael Ray is NOT Pregnant

I know this is a very random/weird post, but let me explain. One of the things I can do with my blog is view a number of statistics about people who are viewing my blog (don’t worry all of you lurkers, I can’t tell who specifically is viewing my blog so you are safe!). Anyway, [...]

More Babysitting Adventures

Some of you may recall my Nightmares in Babysitting post a while back. For those of you who need a refresher, basically Steven and Jessica watched Madeline and bought her a pet frog in the process. This past Friday evening, in a moment of sheer insanity, we had them babysit Madeline again.
This time I was [...]

Steven Curtis Chapman Family Interview

I watched this video last night and wanted to share it with all of you. It’s an interview that Good Morning America did with Steven Curtis Chapman and his family. A couple of months ago one of their teenage sons accidentally ran over their 5 year old little girl in the family driveway. I know [...]

I spoke too soon

Madeline is supposed to be napping right now…”supposed to” being the operative word. You see she has been up there now for an hour and a half and is still not sleeping. I put her down and made my way downstairs and proceeded to listen to her on the baby monitor. She sang to herself [...]
