“Sometimes (like now) I over react. Yes DH was a bit of a jerk today but I may have blown things out of proportion. I’ll apologise… but not yet. I’m still pissed. I’ll apologise later, otherwise it will sound about as sincere as one of my kids when I *make* them apologise.”
“I normally eat very [...]

“I’m sick and I’m talking it easy. DH is taking care of the kids by himself. They’re all tiptoeing around mommy. My confession? I may have exaggerated my symptoms a teensy bit because I’ve been desperately needing a break and there just wasn’t one in sight.”
“Everyone in my house pissed me off today, even the [...]

“I am the world’s worst dieter. If I eat breakfast, I eat all day. So rather than do that, I skip breakfast and lunch and have a decent dinner. I’ve lost weight doing this and I wish everyone would just stop judging me. I know what works for me.”
“Maybe if I just quietly slip into [...]
1st birthday candyland party | inspiration board
After a few years of planning parties for your little ones, it can become more and more challenging to find fun and creative party themes and decor. This last year I hosted a Candy Land party for my daughter’s first birthday and it turned out to be a lot of fun and looked great on [...]

“Dear MIL-Shut up.”
“Along the way I have lost myself… maybe like that missing toy, I’m just under the couch, but I’m too tired to look.”
“I wipe back to front.”

faith-inspired clothing for children | agape baby
My husband and I have spent the last five years trying to find cute Faith-inspired clothing for our daughter, but can never find anything beyond camp-like T-shirts. Our daughter LOVES church and learning about Jesus and recently told us, “I don’t want to be a Veterinarian when I grow up, I want to be a [...]

“So, my mil is like 4 sizes bigger than I am and she just gave me a shirt that she bought for herself because she bought two of them. She told me she thought it would fit me now since I just had the baby. What the heck, woman! It wouldn’t have fit me at [...]
inspiring blog | the city sage
Beware, if you enter her blog you may not come out the same. You will be overcome with the urge to get creative, and you may be sucked in for hours on end. So I am warning you, do not click on this link unless you want inspiration. I am a ginormous fan of Anne [...]
pregnant women are smug | garfunkel and oates on the tonight show
Rarely do I watch the Tonight Show, but as I finished up my posting last night, I listened to the first 20 minutes or so. When Garfunkel and Oates took the stage, they got my full attention. This clever, and slightly exaggerated take on a “smug” and possibly “annoying” pregnant woman. As we all know, [...]
kira chat | melissa & doug magnetic dolls
I adore ALL Melissa & Doug products and was thrilled when we added them to our inventory of our OpenSky Shop. For Christmas, I bought my daughter the Melissa & Doug Magnetic Dress-up Dolls, and she LOVES them. I thought they would be a great toy for the plane, and a great way for her [...]
tess | boosters and barriers: things that increase and decrease milk supply
A mother’s breast milk supply naturally varies from day to day, and even from hour to hour throughout any given day. Milk volume is not a constant. However, most fluctuations in milk supply are not large enough for mother or baby to notice. There may be a few additional feedings requested by the baby for [...]
working mommies here i come…
And so it begins. Up to this point (since the birth of our second child) I have been a stay-at-home mom. Apparently this implies that I am unemployed. However, I look at it as more of an unpaid position. Kind of like volunteer work for your local charity in the sense that it is highly [...]

fancy nancy soiree
With a cake like this (yes, that is the cake!) you can only image what the party was like. I added Fancy Nancy to our list of must-have books, and as you can see, it is also a must-have party theme for any girly girl, at any age. One of my bestest friends, Michelle, threw a Fancy Nancy-themed party [...]
carolyn | time-out as a life skill, not a punishment
Imagine a world where people realized their self-control was waning and they would excuse themselves until their coping skills returned. They would retreat to a place where they found comfort, perspective or distraction.
Meditation is a kind of time-out, so is reading, or an afternoon nap. School detention, Juvenile Hall and prison are also time-outs. The [...]
