Just another day…

My boy has done it again. His toe is so mangled, from slamming it first into a door on Wednesday and then into a chair yesterday. He cried when it happened last night (so I know that he does, in fact, feel pain), but since then he’s only asked for a Dora bandaid and “may … Continue reading »

Potty Mouth

Our language around here has really gone to the crapper.  It’s time.  This is a season that I have truly dreaded being a part of and have been eager to be on the other side of.  Potty training.  There must be a better way.  And for all of my super-cool, kid-free friends who find this … Continue reading »

Staples. That was easy.

We saw lots of friends and family over the holidays and I was flattered to find out that there are at least 7 people out there who are disappointed by my lack of internet rambling.  I may or may not make it my New Years resolution to be a better blogger.  I’m really reaching for … Continue reading »

Self: This is your life

I’m sad that I have another story for you which involves poop.  I really am.  But, you’ve been warned. Today was a rainy, dark, muggy day.  I thought for sure B would nap.  But instead, he found many other things to do from the confines of his bed.  One of them was to fill his … Continue reading »

It Happens

This morning, I woke up to a (still) congested baby, so we began our morning shower routine.  Blake will sit in the shower and play with cups of water while the steam helps him breathe easier.  Afterwards, while I’m trying frantically to get ready to go (and wondering for the millionth time if that extra … Continue reading »

I can breathe clearly now…

I have mentioned the Neti-Pot several times on my facebook status, and many have wanted an explanation.  The Neti-Pot has been a life-changing experience for Stu and me.  No kidding.  We LOVE it.  I’ll start with a picture: Don’t knock it til you try it.  Here’s a nice, brave lady on Oprah trying it: It’s … Continue reading »

Happy Tuesday

Stu recently dissed my blog due to its inactivity.  I took great offense, regardless of the fact that he was right.  So I wondered if, maybe, you would like to see a list of things that I almost have written about, but never did. I was going to put a blog in the gross chronicles … Continue reading »

And again I say “Ewwww”

Another injury by Stuart Hill.  I guess this is what I get for leaving the house.  Somehow, while playing/dancing with Blake, Stu cut his arm on the sliding glass door handle (?).  This confused me too, but sometimes I just like to leave things alone and this was one of those times.  I knew when … Continue reading »

Now presenting: BLOOD, sweat and tears

Up until now, the kitchen project has only called for sweat and tears. Now it has demanded blood. The countertops are the big project we still have had looming over our heads. We chose ironstone, which I wrote about earlier, and they are giant pavers, but I will be calling them tiles. Just because I … Continue reading »
