Million Dollar Diapers
Today I got to attend the annual “Muffins with Mom” at my youngest son’s pre-school. Every year all the mothers are treated to handmade wearables (think paper plate hats and matchbox lockets covered in rhinestones.) The children share their gifts with the mothers and enjoy a special treat. It’s a wonderfully put together affair each […]
Happy 4th Birthday Everett!
My youngest baby turns 4 today and I’ve definitely had a good cry over this fact. We are well beyond infancy, over a year past the last time he nursed, and I can’t recall the last time we was worn in a carrier. He still says “but I only 3” when it comes time for […]
…and a Kim update too! Family, Fitness, Home, and BlogU
No, I’m not making a pregnancy announcement like Lara did yesterday. However, I realized I haven’t given a good “random stuff” update in a while about my family and our happenings. The biggest update is that my oldest son is just about to graduate from Pre-K this month and will start Kindergarten at a charter school […]
A look at “Life After Diapers”
It has been about 8 months since Everett potty trained. This time in my life can now be referred to as “AD.” I suppose the previous 5 years were “DD” and pre-kids my life was “BD.” Life “BD” is nothing like “DD.” Even though there aren’t diapers to wash, there is still plenty of other […]
Happy 3rd Birthday Everett!
The youngest member of our family, Everett, is the big 3 today! I can’t believe it either. He graduated from diapers to undies and recently weaned after he decided a T-Rex was cooler than boobs. He has a little personality all his own. Unlike his older brother, Everett is more reserved and doesn’t open up […]
A Robot T-Rex is WAY Cooler Than Boobs {Our Weaning Story}
[typography font=”Cantarell” size=”20″ size_format=”px”]Because a Robot T-Rex is way cooler than boobs we are done. Breastfeeding is done.[/typography] We lasted 2 years, 11 months, and 21 days. The end came so fast that I didn’t see it even though I started the ball rolling. And I swear on my life that I never intended to […]
What it’s really like to breastfeed after 2.5 years
Being that World Breastfeeding Week (Aug 1-7) is nearly finished and I’ve yet to post about the topic I thought it would be fitting to post an update on our breastfeeding journey. [typography size=”18″ size_format=”px”]I forgot to wean him at 1. I forgot again at 2. With 3 months until his third birthday it is […]
…I Wish They Could Have Slept With Me Just A Little While Longer
[typography font=”Crafty Girls” size=”20″ size_format=”px”]This is my happy place.[/typography] It’s the place I look forward to being in as often as I can. It’s the place where everything is peaceful, warm, safe, loving, and familiar. Every night I start the evening off in my big comfy bed with my big comfy husband. Some nights I […]
Life With Two Boys: Dirty, Hilarious, Amazing. I Wouldn’t Change a Thing.
[typography font=”Crafty Girls” size=”24″ size_format=”px” color=”#0099ff”]”It’s a boy!” [/typography] the sonographer exclaimed as I lay on a table with globs of cold, clear jelly on my expanding belly. My husband was relieved. I was heartbroken. I already had one boy so I was hoping for that magical equation where baby number two was a girl. […]
Weaning or Potty Training? Which would come first?
[typography font=”Cantarell” size=”22″ size_format=”px”]The question posed by a family member “when will you be done nursing?” was shortly followed by “when is he going to be out of diapers?” [/typography] and I didn’t have answers to either one of those questions. With my first son the weaning came first because I was pregnant again and […]
