-A picture of my innocent baby boy- This is a recent interaction I had with Will, my 5-year-old son. Me: Will, you love to talk about your butt. Stop it. Will: Nu uh. I love to talk about my butt AND my penis. So nice to be corrected! Is it any wonder I got a [Read More]
My poor son
I was out running errands with Will this weekend. I realized I needed to dash into CVS quickly and pick up some feminine care products, if you know what I mean. I figured he would be fine with me for 1 second while I picked out my necessities and then I’d let him look through [Read More]

Yup, you guessed it. Still more about poop!
There are at least a couple instances in this story where I should have made different, need I say better, decisions in my role as mother. Sydney was a bit feisty last night about going to bed. I rocked her a few minutes and put her in her crib, but I wasn’t going to spend [Read More]

Walking and Talking
We have a single driveway at our house so often one of us parks on the street. I was parked there on Saturday and in a rush to get to the Rec Center to see Will’s opening day ceremony for baseball. I started down the driveway and Sydney followed slowly behind me, in that languid [Read More]

Working Mother
I have a free subscription to Working Mother and I have to say, this magazine makes me feel like a bad mom! I find this ironic since I am a working mom. Actually, I’m in that weird nebulous space between working full-time outside the home and being a full-time stay-at-home mom. See, I work 3 [Read More]

Bad mom
Last week we were lucky enough to spend time in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Fun! The day we left, though, I felt like God judged me for being a bad mom. Our plane was not until 5 pm at night on Wednesday. I decided to take Wednesday off and get stuff done around [Read More]

Time to play, time to work
I overheard Sydney talking to one of her baby dolls the other day and it almost broke my heart! She often talks to her dolls the way her Dad or I talk to her. “It’s okay” she’ll say as she rocks them or “Go night-night.” Things like that. Well this time I heard her say [Read More]

EMERGENCY (not really)
We got an email from Will’s kindergarten that there had been a small electrical fire in the building. It was quickly contained and caused minimal smoke damage to a closet. This email made me remember that I am part of the emergency phone fan out committee for Will’s class. In the event of an unexpected [Read More]

Do as I say, not as I do
Here are 2 examples of “Do as I say, not as I do!” First, I got up from the couch to get something and when I returned Will had stretched out on the whole couch. “Move,” I said. “No” he replied. “Excuse me?” “You didn’t say ‘Please move’”. Busted! My second example is a guest [Read More]
