Recently, my kids and I completed a trip around the world. We visited exotic locales such as Brazil, Australia, and Japan. We spent time in China, Spain, and England. It was awesome!What is she talking about? you ask. Isn’t this the blog by the idiot mom trying to raise 2 children? Loyal readers, you are [Read More]
Soakin’ Hot
“Mom, will you blow this and help me cool it down?” asked Sydney, 4. She was pointing at her quesadilla, hot off the grill. “It’s soakin’ hot!” she continued dramatically. What? Oh! I began to giggle. She asked me, “Do you know what soakin’ hot means?” Still giggling, I nodded. “It means it’s really, really [Read More]

My First Official Guest Post!
Faithful readers, Lucy and Sydney Today I am lucky to share a story from my friend, Janet, about her 4-year-old Lucy. I laughed my keister off when I read this post on Facebook and she graciously allowed me to share. She posted: At Lucy’s four-year checkup today, I had to fill out a questionnaire about [Read More]

Slippery When Wet
“Whoa!” shouted Will as he slid across the kitchen floor. He had slipped in a small puddle of water that none of us had realized was there. I flashed back to 5 minutes earlier when Sydney had poured herself a drink near that spot. “You know,” he directed to me, very indignant (and serious), “you [Read More]

Skip To My Lou
I was holding hands with Sydney, 4, at Kennywood. We were enjoying a lovely day at this family-friendly amusement park in Pittsburgh. “Let’s skip!” cried Sydney. Why not? Still holding her hand, I started skipping. After two or three skips, she stopped. “Not you!” she said, looking at me. Er, I wish I had known [Read More]

Rock-a-bye Bad Mom
I was just laughing to myself. And feeling like a bad mom again. I was remembering a year ago when I got a fire in my belly and cleaned out toys, bought a big girl bed for Sydney, and put the crib away for good. Part of that process was selling the cheap rocking chair [Read More]

Pretty Please with Sugar on Top
I think all kids are scared of the basement for one reason or the other. Mine are no exception. One day this week Sydney wanted to retrieve a balloon from the basement. She begged me to come with her. I conceded and tried to get away with going halfway down the stairs, waiting for her [Read More]

An Apple a Day
Last week I took Will to the pediatrician for his check-up. I love our pediatrician and she is the main reason I was able to breastfeed, even with all the problems I encountered. She and I bonded over my cracked nipples. It’s true. Anyhoo, during the check-up, the Doctor asked, “Now Will, do you have [Read More]

Highway to the Danger Zone?
We took the kids to the see the Blue Angels this weekend at Thunder Over Michigan. Frankly, they were more interested in their slushies than the Blue Angels! It was about 1,000 degrees so I can’t really blame them. When it was over I found myself holding Sydney’s hand as we walked back to our [Read More]
