What Happened Here?
I wonder where things went wrong. It used to be, when it was bedtime, we would tuck Wyatt in for the night and not hear a peep out of him for 13 hours. This is the stage we are at with Brooklyn right now. Around seven-o-clock she sees her night-night bottle being made and heads down the [...]
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. [...]

Mother nature is a cruel, heartless woman this year. Bismarck this winter was awful- more snow on record than ever in history, along with record low temperatures (can you say -42 degrees?). This spring has been cold, wet and cloudy. This weekend, a lovely June weekend, it was 36 degrees out and sleeting. Sleeting in [...]
