Growing up, my mom would always sing-song the ever-frustrating “don’t cry over spilled milk.” I get it. Don’t freak over a little mess (physically or figuratively). But wine…I will have a massive tantrum over spilled wine. Believe it or not, there are a few things that are almost as frustrating as spilling liquid gold! Read […]

Us Ladies Have to Stick Together
March 24, 2013 13 Comments
One of the questions my husband and I often ponder is what our two-and-a-half year old will be when she grows up. If you ask her, she’ll tell you she wants to be a farmer or a “Cinderella princess.” She’ll then immediately change her mind and tell you she wants to be a mermaid. Of […]

Teaching Spanish to a Two-Year-Old Is Easy as Uno, Dos, Tres (Sort of)
March 21, 2013 25 Comments
My husband likes to point out that our two-year-old knows more Spanish than he does, and it’s true. Some of that I owe to Dora the Explorer, but the rest of her fluency comes from the lessons I’ve been giving her on a daily basis. So far, she knows the Spanish words for most of […]
Want a healthier chip? Ask and you shall receive! #AGiantSurprise
March 20, 2013 25 Comments
I’m constantly on the look out for new snacks. One of my personal favorites is potato chips. And tortilla chips. And corn chips. Actually, pretty much anything salty and crunchy in the snack aisle. It’s an addiction I try hard to control, which is why I turn my head and sprint past the snack aisle […]
iGuy: The Perfect Protection for Your iPad
March 19, 2013 24 Comments
Over the past three months, my iPad has been taken over by our two-and-a-half year old. And, to be honest, I couldn’t be happier. That’s because I’ve discovered a treasure trove of interactive learning apps – about 20 and counting – that she adores because they’re entertaining and I adore because they’re educational. Sure, I […]

Stuck in a Breakfast Rut (But Now I’m Free!)
March 14, 2013 23 Comments
Breakfast, for the most part, is easy. For our little Diva, I pop a bowl of oatmeal in the microwave and, 60 seconds later (plus two minutes in the freezer to cool it down), the morning meal is ready. The thing is, I worry about not giving her enough variety when it comes to breakfast. […]
