Ahhhh!!! Christmas is over and just in time because a toy store threw up all over my house. Although I was so excited in the weeks leading up to it, I’m happy to have it behind us. The hectic days, feverish baby and hoards of food did a number on my mental and physical well-being. […]

December 22, 2012 4 Comments
The other day, our two-and-a-half year old was eating her breakfast – just like any morning – when out of the blue she exclaimed, “I so wonderful!” Confidence? She’s definitely got it.

Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Kia Motors It’s a proven fact that we put more miles on car during the holiday season than at any other time of the year.

December 19, 2012 22 Comments
When you think of the holidays, what food comes to mind? Cookies? Wine? Mom’s Christmas ham? Wine? All four are acceptable answers, but how ‘bout pizza?

December 17, 2012 19 Comments
When our daughter was born, I was one of those parents who had the ambitious goal of potty training her before her second birthday. And then reality set in.
