In Honor of Working Moms
Awesome post in honor of working moms by a stay at home mom. Thus refuting the rumors of “mommy wars.”
If Every Mom Were a Stay-At-Home-Mom by Veronica Mitchell
Should we or shouldn’t we?
The time has come to answer the big question, “should we have another baby?” Both Brad and I are 35 years old and don’t want to wait too much longer if we are going to have another. We are kicking around the cons things we’d have to think about a lot right now. [...]
Nurturing the Spirit
I don’t remember how it started but earlier this week I ended up finding some new blogs that I’m really excited about. One of them had this beautiful quote that really fit with my day Monday.
“The greatest challenge we all face as spiritual nurturers is to become attuned to the young child’s authentic spirituality, [...]
Further Confessions
I’ve been laughing at myself a lot these past six months. I think my mother has been laughing at me as well.
I had a lot of convictions about how I was going to raise my kids – before I became a parent. I read up on the APA website and their [...]
Nothing Much…but then there was Dinner
I’ve been busy. I can’t say that it’s anything worth talking about so I haven’t. Mostly keeping the house clean and playing with the boys. Forest appears to be teething again, molars I’m guessing but he doesn’t let anyone into his mouth to know for sure. So he’s very clingy and [...]
Father’s Day 2008
I was fortunate enough this year to have the boys all weekend for Father’s Day weekend. We spent the entire time having fun together, which included playing with lots of toys, wrestling, going outside, watching Saturday-morning cartoons, playing in the water sprinkler, playing Mario Kart Wii (the boys LOVE the WiiWheel), learning and practicing new [...]
Sleep Disruption
I think that another reason this week feels tougher is because I’m on my sixth day of not getting a full night’s sleep. For two days Logan was getting too hot at night and waking up at around 11:30 for an hour, so I bought them cooler sleep sacks. Then for two days [...]
Monday Blues
I don’t feel like I got a weekend so I’m already exhausted and can’t fathom that it’s only Monday. Brad left early yesterday morning for a business trip that has him away until Thursday midnightish. One day with help with twin toddlers just isn’t enough.
Today I went on two outings (the [...]
The Interpreter
I spend a lot of time deciphering screams. Are the boys fighting over space/a toy and going to figure it out on their own? Or did Logan just bite Forest to get what he wants? Is that just frustration or is Forest seriously hurt? Is Logan just being clingy or did [...]
Can you dig it?
Children come into this world ready to dance and sing. They have no idea to be self conscious or in tune until they get old enough to understand ridicule. Too bad we don’t have a world where that never happens. I was amazed at how early Logan started humming. Before he [...]
