Don’t talk about your kid’s butt when he’s around

My parents are up visiting for a couple days, so we went out to dinner tonight. On the way to the restaurant, my dad, who was sitting in the passenger seat as I drove, and I were discussing how Little Man needs to wipe his own butt after he goes to the bathroom instead of [...]

I am Blissfully Domestic

I am Blissfully Domestic

Well, the past day or so has been a bit crazy. It’s been so crazy that I don’t feel very blissfully domestic right now.  Caring for a sick baby is certainly domestic, but it’s not of the blissful variety.

Not quite done

Today we are spending the day at home. I’ve got some last minute stocking stuffer shopping to do.

Tomorrow [...]

Home at last

I haven’t been gone that long, only since Saturday, but it feels like it’s been a week. We were at my parents’ house for an extended family Christmas party Saturday night. We left Saturday morning instead of Friday night because of a snow storm that hit us Friday afternoon. Then we had to stay at [...]

Checking in

It’s been a crazy past few days, which is why I haven’t written any posts since Monday. Between my daughter’s therapy, buying teacher gifts, class gift exchange gifts, my son’s school events, and getting ready for family Christmas parties, it’s been so busy here that there were times when I wasn’t sure if I was [...]
