As stated in my last post, this past week has been a whirlwind of sh*tstorms. Suffice it to say that the past few days have probably have been my most trying as a mother of two. Maybe I’ll write about the events that transpired in a future post, but there is a chance that I […]
Mommy’s Diapers
After a visit to the grocery store to stock up on feminine supplies, I had my back turned for 5 seconds while taking Aerin’s jacket off and Claire got ahold of my box of Always Overnights with Wings. (The rule of thumb with toddlers is that they will cause the most mischief when you have your […]
Migraines
I have been forced to take a short break from blogging due to the horrible migraines I have been experiencing in the past couple of days. I am almost certain that my migraines are hormonal, as I have never gotten one before I got pregnant but regularly suffered them through both pregnancies. And now that […]
Sleep-Training Aerin
I am by no means an expert on baby sleep, but the (very) general sleep pattern that my girls seemed to have followed is: 0 to 2 months old: sleeps most of the day, but also wakes up often. She is still getting used to being outside of the womb. 2 to 4 months old: the […]

This can deal with recent books I have read on Christianity, my thoughts on religion and current issues, as well as particular messages I find touching and/or powerful. I am aware that most of my readers are not religious, and […]
Dollar Store Stickers
I love that there is a dollar store within walking distance to our home, because it is a great place to find cheap sources of entertainment for Claire (e.g., helium balloons). Earlier this week, I purchased a package of hearts stickers (pink GIRLY hearts that Claire herself chose…what else did you expect from her?) and […]
A Compilation of Claire’s Recent Funnies
The Nail Clipper: Claire hates, hates, HATES getting her toenails clipped. She’s okay with us clipping her fingernails, but she has a strong aversion to our clipping her toenails…she’ll even start crying when she sees us clipping Aerin’s toenails! (I’ve tried clipping my own in front of her, making it seem like it was THE most […]
If “The Hunger Games” Movie Was Made By Famous Directors…
My most-anticipated movie of the year will be released tomorrow! I wasn’t sure if I would be able to watch the movie while it was still out in theaters (I still feel uncomfortable leaving J all alone to watch Claire and Aerin…I know he can do it, but I prefer that he has help!), but my […]
