Mopping Musings

Published on 2011-05-27 13:58:00

I finally decided to mop the floor today and my mind was wandering. I got to thinking about why people don't see to just chat anymore. When I wait in line or, on the rare occasion, waiting for the bus, I make small talk with who ever is there. I can' > read more

Election Issues that REALLY Matter

Published on 2011-04-20 07:21:00

During an election, and there have been many lately, the same old issues are dusted off and paraded around. Jobs. Health care. The debt. Spending. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Yes, those are big important issues. However, in the microcosm that is my life, t > read more

Letting Go of the Spoon

Published on 2011-04-11 08:46:00

Kaylee is forcing me to do something I'm not good at. Give up control. She refuses to eat from a spoon. She just won't do it! BUT, she will eat on her own. Not a lot, but some. This of course means that she's in control of how much and what she eats. > read more

Spring is in the Air!

Published on 2011-03-16 10:54:00

Yay! I can see the snow melting, hear the birds singing, and that wonderful "drip, drip" noise that signals spring is on it's way. How WONDERFUL! One of the best parts of living in a country like Canada is the four seasons. I'm not a winter person, b > read more

Bite the Bullet

Published on 2011-02-07 15:43:00

And by that I mean it's time to help Kaylee sleep on her own. I've done the reading, I think I know what needs to be worked on, but it's still Hard! Any change is hard; isn't it? Even if there is so something that is clearly not working, it's a case > read more

I Hate Potty Training!

Published on 2011-02-04 12:19:00

One of the reasons we decided to relieve Alice of her soother, other than it's ridiculous that she still had one, was I felt it was a possible barrier to potty training. On one hand we're telling her she's a Big Girl and needs to use the potty, on th > read more

On the Road to Sweet Dreams

Published on 2011-02-02 06:52:00

As I had mentioned in a previous post, we are trying to instill good sleep habits with Kaylee. That's really just a kind way of saying we need her to sleep through the night! lol We've been looking at some of the ideas in the Don't Cry Sleep Solution > read more

S is for Zzzzzzz

Published on 2011-01-18 10:38:00

Kaylee is a wonderful baby. There are no two ways about it. She loves being with people and greets them with an open gummy smile. She is very patient and doesn't throw a fit if your a little slow getting her bottle together. At bathtime she smiles up > read more

You Don't Make Friends With Salad

Published on 2010-12-02 12:54:00

We've fallen into the same dinner rut that I imagine most have. We've come to rely on the same old meals week after week, and it's getting boring. We don't eat badly mind you. Most of what we eat is relatively healthy, just deathly boring and plain! > read more

Music Class

Published on 2010-11-15 11:24:00

Alice loves her music class, so as soon as I could I signed her back up. She's been going to the same class since she was 14 months old. Nicole, the instructor, does a wonderful job and made certain that Alice would have a place there when we returne > read more

Do What You Know

Published on 2010-11-13 07:44:00

And when you know better, do better. That just makes sense to me. Sure, that doesn't mean that you're going to be right or that things are going to work out. That, however, is the whole point of "life lessons" isn't it? This is a common sense expecta > read more

The Ethics of Ethics

Published on 2010-11-10 08:32:00

I just realized that I have a problem. I over think EVERYTHING I do! I always obsess with doing things the "right" way. The "right" way basically means that it works and there is NOTHING wrong with it. Consequently, I worry about most of the things I > read more

Great Expectations

Published on 2010-11-08 06:39:00

Alice was a small, bald little baby when she was Kaylee's age. With Kaylee's full head of hair and size, I sometimes forget that she's still only a little over two months of age. She seems so much older to me and I find I have unreasonable expectatio > read more

Education, that slippery slope...

Published on 2010-11-05 21:54:00

Now that Alice seems less "baby" and more "little girl", it's got me thinking ahead to school. Next year we plan to enrole her in preschool or pre-kindergarten; however you'd like to call it. I'm so excited about that. I know that many moms are sadde > read more

Blog and Dash

Published on 2010-11-03 08:17:00

It's become pretty clear that unless a new blog post takes less than 10 mins to write, it isn't going to get done. I guess that's life with a new babe and a toddler! Everyone wants a piece of you. Occasionally there are islands of quiet where I can a > read more

I've Been a Bit Busy....

Published on 2010-09-23 14:57:00

I know that I'm really the WORST person to have a blog. Number one, I'm rarely still enough to sit down and write anything. Number two, it really isn't a priority. I can always think of a million other things that I could be doing. That's precisely w > read more
