Two years later than I thought it would happen, it finally did. We said goodbye to the pacifier. Usually there’s a feeling of euphoria when checking another parenting milestone off the list – sleeping through the night, weaning off the bottle, potty training, etc. Every time we’ve successfully made it through one of these obstacles… Continue Reading
My boy is nearly three years old. How is that possible?? The months fly by with Owen. He keeps our days very full; he’s a busy boy. I simultaneously love writing about Owen and hate it because there’s just too much to say about him. So let’s not waste time with a lengthy intro. Without… Continue Reading
I’ve always suspected it. And now my suspicions have been confirmed. Second Child Syndrome is real. I fully realized the extent of Second Child Syndrome (SCS) a couple weeks ago, when I was forced to sit my baby on a public restroom floor so I could help her older brother on the potty. Yes, my baby girl… Continue Reading
Ta-dah! I’m finally revealing Owen’s big boy bedroom! He’s been out of the nursery for months, but I’m only getting around to sharing his new space with you today. And after all the time it took to renovate and decorate, I think his bright blue and red room turned out pretty close to perfect. Definitely… Continue Reading
Every now and then I reflect on my life and realize things never quite go as expected in this crazy journey of parenthood. It’s more than a little ironic…being a mommy is seriously one mindf**k after another. Don’t believe me? Keep reading. I count the minutes, even seconds, until bedtime but once I’ve tucked them… Continue Reading
Potty training. Two words that send chills down every parent’s back. There are many hurdles in this crazy journey of parenthood and this one is a biggie. You know before you even begin that it’s going to stink (no pun intended). The combination of the words training, toilets, toddler, urine and feces pretty much sounds… Continue Reading
Has it really been two weeks since my last post? Aaahh, sorry I’ve been MIA. I’ve been busy writing this extremely long post about Owen. Yep, he’s two and a half now and it’s time for another update on my silly boy. So much has happened in the past three months – it’s hard to… Continue Reading
Since Owen was born, I have really developed a passion for taking photos. A LOT of photos. I am admittedly a mamarazzi. Owen has been photographed as often as an A-list celebrity in the past two years. I’m no professional photographer though; I’m just an amateur that has fun with her camera. But after taking over… Continue Reading
December is flying by, isn’t it? I can’t believe it’s already been over a week since we kicked off December with a North Pole Breakfast celebration for the little ones. If you’re not familiar with a North Pole Breakfast, it’s a breakfast to introduce the Elf on the Shelf for the season. We decided to… Continue Reading
Boy is my boy getting big! It’s been over three months since the last time I posted about Owen. I’ve missed writing about him and I bet you’ve missed reading about him (or maybe it’s just me and Richard that find him to be endlessly entertaining?). There’s so much to say about the past three… Continue Reading
