“YOU’RE MEAN!” Hearing those words for the first time didn’t go like I thought it would, sweet girl. I remember playing over and over in my head the day that you would scream, or squeak, or whisper that sentence because of frustration, or anger and I would let the tears fall. I would because I…

No Half Assing This
Her face still has baby round cheeks that flush when she cries. She still plays with my hair (or yours) when she’s tired, or needs comfort, and her best friend, her soother, who she affectionately calls “ME-ME” still accompanies her to bed and in the car… or anywhere she can get away with. But as…
Celebrating Milestones: Win a Printable Party Pack from Magic Imprints
My daughter turned three on the weekend. I am overjoyed. This is a big deal for me because when I was in the throws of Postpartum every birthday; every milestone, felt like an ending. I dreaded her first steps, prayed she stay a baby longer instead of saying her first word, and cried when she…
Pin ItCool as a Muther Heffin’ Cucumber
This weekend I took our daughter swimming with a friend. Nothing too spectacular; her mother in a bathing suit; all the children of the world in one body of water; someone named Alynna having a birthday party; water up my nose and in my face. But we had fun and made it out unscathed. I…

Toddlerisms
My girl is almost three. She is a combination of silliness and sophistication that hasn’t quite found its way, making her into the perfect comedy. I have a bite mark on the inside of my cheek from holding back laughter when she presents her serious scoldings, lengthy stories, and little talks. She’s growing, and I don’t…
This Chick Right Here
I remember rocking my sweet baby after she had just barfed all over me (for the fourth time) and thinking about her toddler years; imagining long nights of slumber, days filled with fun, my sweet girl on my lap reading with me. But this chick right here? Isn’t following my toddler vision. Apparently when you’re…
Sleep: The Difference between Men & Women
Husband: Feeds child a wholesome meal of macaroni and cheese, plays Little People and puzzles, and destroys house while playing pirates. Exhausted from playing he falls asleep at 8:30 pm. Sleep comes easily. And he sleeps all night… soundly. He wakes at 6:45am, to the sounds of his loving wife gently pressing her hand to…
