I received this email from my Grandpa today and I think it is hilarious. Kids say the craziest things, and if this story is true, it is right up there with some of the craziest stories I have heard from a child. Enjoy! The ‘Middle Wife’ by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher I’ve been teaching [...]

November 24, 2008 By Leave a Comment
My grandpa sent me this email over the weekend and I thought it would be a great message to share with Thanksgiving coming up. Touching words from the mouth of babes. A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, ‘What does love mean?’ The answers they got [...]

My little boy is just growing so fast and it amazes me. I bought him his Winnie the Pooh Halloween costume in September (about a month after he was born). I bought a 0-3 month size thinking it would fit perfectly by Halloween. Boy was I wrong. About 2 weeks before Halloween I tried it [...]

Today I got to go to lunch with two of my very best friends! After the morning I had I almost nixed the whole thing, but my pediatricians wise words kept ringing in my head “Don’t let having kids change your life completely, still do all the things you love just take the kids along!”. [...]

Lexi has hit the princess phase at only 18 months and I am loving it! It is absolutely adorable! Yesterday we were getting her dressed and she would not let me put anything on her but her ballerina tutu. She kept a firm grip on the tutu and was yelling “princess!”. So, she wore her [...]

September 3, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Being a “Baby-Specialist” is a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it! I remember how desperate I was to become pregnant with our first child after trying for almost a year with no success. Now a little over 2 years later and 2 kids later, I can look back and realize how naive I was [...]

A few mornings ago my husband brought Lexi, our 18 month old, down stairs and she went straight for the kitchen. Usually she has to wake up a little before she eats breakfast, but this morning she had other plans. My husband and I were playing with the new baby and watching a little TV [...]
