Ahhh. Finally. Last week was crazy. I had playgroup at my house for the first time. That meant 7 babies under 13 months, plus their mommies. I cleaned like I have OCD and baked muffins. It went really well, and no one even commented on the second shelf of the entertainment center being white with dust. (How did I miss that?) The next day, me and 2 ... View the Post
Conference Calls – I loathe you.
Dear Conference Calls,I really do loathe you. I hate that when snuggled with my sleeping baby at 7:50am, that I am suddenly made aware of your unwanted 8am arrival. You make me pounce out of bed to grind coffee and do anything else with noise that I may need for the next 2 hours. You make me and my wee one retreat to the nursery where we must sit ...

Mam, 20 feet away!
I flew home from visiting the fam in GA yesterday. The hubs came home a few days earlier, so I was flying with Cooper by myself. Fun. He is really a great baby, but any 1 year old that is traveling for 8 hours is not that happy. I made sure I wore "one hand pants" as I call the pull-ons, since I would be using the bathroom while holding a baby. We ... View the Post
