He Sleeps with a Teddy Bear

Every time we start a new daycare/preschool there are these long forms you need to fill out. (We should have this memorized by now!) Three pages long. And it’s the same everywhere, so it must be a universal form to torture parents.  There are some sections of it that always make me chuckle when I [...]

The Goblins and Ghouls of our House

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I distinctly remember decorating our house to the max every year. Complete with haunted houses and creepy spider webs.  My friends and I would set up a “haunted house” for our friends (aka- our parents) at least twice a year. One time in the summer, and [...]

Feature Page

So, many of you ask me how do you have time to blog, craft, work, and take care of TWO kids? Well, the answer is simple….I don’t sleep much and when the kids are naughty, I lock them in their rooms and go craft. JUST KIDDING, of course. Truth is, I’m not exactly sure, except [...]

I Might Be in Trouble with This One…

Wyatt has always been a very cautious child.  It has only been recently that he has become even the teeniest tiniest bit daring.  I’m talking he went down two steps without holding onto the railing. WOW.  Oh yeah, and I did catch him scaling the treadmill the other day.  It shocked me so much I [...]

September Photo Album Updated

Due to popular request (MOM) the September photo album has been updated.  Hover over the photo album tag on the home page and select the September 2009 tag.  I chose about 50 photos out of a possible 9 million – man I take lots of pictures.  I can’t wait to see how many photos I [...]

We Have the Swine Flu…Yes the Swine Flu. Oink, Oink.

Our household has officially been hit with the dreaded swine flu, otherwise known as H1N1.  And it is gross.  We are almost over it at this point, but it was no fun while we were in the thoroughs of sickness.  We think we can trace it back to the kid’s daycare.  One of the other [...]

The Flu Shot Debate

Ah, the ever so popular debate: To get a flu shot? Or not to get a flu shot? For me, the choice is pretty simple. I work in health care, have two children in daycare, and am a pharmacist (hence I believe in drugs and vaccines) so OF COURSE I GOT MY FLU SHOT. Did [...]

Gone are the days

With Brooklyn’s nine month birthday just around the corner, I can’t help but feel a little like WHERE DID MY BABY GO?  Am I really going to have two toddlers soon? Or better yet, a toddler and a big boy?  When Wyatt turns four years old, I suppose I shouldn’t call him a toddler anymore. [...]

He’s making a list….and checking it twice

“MOMMY! I WANT THAT ONE!”  Constantly.  It’s getting hard to take.
I used to think it was kinda cute.  It’s a little much now.  So, I started telling him that he should, “add it to your Christmas list!”  To which I got the usual response, “Huh? What’s that you say?”  So I got out a piece [...]

New Baby Store on Etsy

Well, as if I didn’t have enough to do, I decided to open a little store on etsy.com.  If you have never visited this shop, it’s kind of like Ebay, but for handmade and vintage items.  So if you make it, you can sell it there.  Here’s a link to my shop, the Sunshine Shoppe.  [...]
