Things Change When You Have Kids

Tonight, Dorian insisted on sleeping with his toothbrush. And while saying goodnight to me, he accidentally got toothpaste in his eye. As I dabbed at it with a damp cloth, it occurred to me that I really felt like a mom . . . making the pain go away and fixing up the problem. One [...]
Rabbit is Winning Hearts
Posted on July 31, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | 2 Comments
So, when Rabbit the cat first showed up, Irving was not impressed. He claimed he hates cats (though I think he`d never seen one up close before) and is a dog person. Fine. He finally, reluctantly agreed we could keep the kitten if I gave it a flea bath.
But Rabbit has been making his [...]
I Need a Craft Room

Really, I do. I was already tired of having to paint on the kitchen countertop, with my painting leaning against the wall, but this morning was the straw that broke the camel`s back.
Irving recently cleaned our room. He took his stereo from the living room, booted my sewing machine from its table and stuck it [...]
Moving Onwards and Upwards

The time has come for me to move on . . . in my At Home Mom blog, that is. The free template I´ve been using there is lovely, but too limited for my purposes. Now that I´ve gotten to 1,000 visitors a day, I really need to make some space for ads and redesign [...]
Where Does This Stuff Come From?!?
Posted on June 30, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 1 Comment
It´s crazy, the things that come out of your mouth when you become a parent. A few examples from our house this past weekend:
“Feet don´t go in the popcorn.”
“Suffocating your brother is NOT ok!”
“Careful, don´t fall out the window.”
“Cornflakes don´t belong in your nose.”
“Cornflakes don´t belong in your ear.”
“They don´t belong in your brother´s nose [...]
NINE Hours!

Of sleep, that is. We went out for a walk to tire the boys out yesterday and it wore us all out! By 8:30, I couldn´t keep my eyes open anymore and since both boys had crashed early (Dante in his crib, yay!), I headed to bed.
And slept the whole night through.
Amazing! I [...]
Two New Blogs

I´ve been working on a couple of new blogs lately. One is just mine and the other is one that my younger sister and I are building together.
The first blog, Fit, Healthy Mama, is just what it sounds like, a health blog. Originally, I was just going to use it as a personal diary [...]

Mama´s Boy No More?
Posted on May 3, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 2 Comments
Ok, Ok, I know this is normal . . . but . . . but . . . sniff. Tonight Dorian requested that his Papa put him to bed . . . even with the stories! I´ve read him his bedtime stories since he was born and this is the very first time he´s made [...]
Things I Never Thought I´d Say
Posted on April 18, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 3 Comments
You know how, when you´re a kid, you think, “I´m never going to be like my mom. I´m not ever going to tell my kids that and I´ll let them eat cake for breakfast!” Well, ok, I do occasionally let my kids have cake for breakfast. But my point is, you think you´ll do [...]
