I was officially EXHAUSTED from my toddlers whining about not wanting to go to bed. I’d had it up to here. But now I just laugh at it… Why my sudden sense of humor? Because author (and friendly blogger/writer/humorist/woman-and-mom-of-3-extroirdinaire) Sarah Maizes has done it again. Her most recent children’s book, On My Way to Bed, is…

FUN? Toddlers at a fancy event.
I’m hoping you sense the irony in my title? “FUN: Toddlers at a fancy event” pretty much goes against everything I believe in and is frankly a walking contradiction. Was it fun? Really? Formal events are my FAVORITE. Always have been. Always will be. Fabulous dresses, wine, frilly desserts… So when my two little devils angels were…
Parenting: Piecing together the princess problem.
Parenting. It can be a real piece of work these days.

Both of my grandmothers are strong-willed with the things they say and…
Family Travel & Fun: Don’t think too much.
I’m a big proponent for thinking ahead, stopping while you’re ahead and preparing for things you don’t know you’ll need until you hit a spot when you need them (like keeping that bag of potato chips for 2 weeks in my trunk for no good reason… until my car battery died last week and those…
REVIEW & GIVEAWAY! Baby Orajel Naturals & $50 Target gift card.
To think that I am TWO molars away from being DONE with teething is exciting. More exciting than the pre-baby me would’ve ever thought possible. TWO TEETH. (Can ya see which ones I’m waiting for? On the bottom.) And after these two chicklets come in: no more middle-of-the-night wake ups, no more cranky fits out…
