Pacifier
I know this is a common debate – Should you allow your child to use a pacifier and if so, for how long? My older son, Funny didn’t use one, never had an interest in it. I assumed that it was some amazing parenting style of mine that proved he didn’t need it. And then […]

Two years and a day
It was exactly two years and a day, that I left my job to begin my new career as a Stay At Home mom. My journey begins tomorrow and I am so excited, but nervous at the same time. I have never been really good with discipline. If I want a cookie or gallon of […]

Resolution
Today marks day two of the new year – 2010. I am not one of those people that commits to joining a gym and loosing 20 pounds, only to fail by not ever stepping foot into the gym…well ok maybe once or twice. Last year, I started small, but I accomplished the task I set […]

A Leap of Faith
Today I gave my notice at a job I like, working with people I consider friends, in an economy that isn’t exactly booming…..why? To be a “stay at home” mom. Am I cut out for this “new job”? Am I making the “right” decision? Is this what is best for my kids? These are just […]

Choo, Choo the Sleep Train
Ahhh “Sleep Training” – just writing that makes me tired. I was not one of those parents whose child slept 10 hours a night from the time they came home from thehospital. In fact, my second son Sunny is just beginning the process of “sleep training” right now and he’s 6.5 months old. Let me […]
