School Daze

Searching for an elementary school can be confusing. Read about my experience finding the right place for my son.

2 Years Already

Tomorrow is my son's 2nd birthday and I am having a surreal day! It just seems impossible that it has already been 2 years! It seems like just yesterday that I was lugging my little man around in my belly. That's the thing about being a mother (parent) times flies... I have been very fortunate …

Motherhood Anxiety

Anxiety is a terrible thing. It can drive you crazy. Anxiety means worry, obsessiveness, and more worry. I had never experienced anxiety until I became pregnant. I can recall that first burst of it like if it were just yesterday.... I was doing chores around the house (something I did everyday) and all of a …

Milestones….or Racestones

As a new mom, I worry (obsess) about every single milestone my son approaches. When he wasn't sitting up and other children in mommy and me class were, I freaked out! I spent an entire week practicing sitting up, until he did. When it came time to start walking, I freaked out. I would compare …

Baby Boo Boos

As a mother there is nothing scarier than when your child gets hurt. My rambunctious little man is a constant accident waiting to happen. He is in constant motion and in constant danger of getting hurt. Just last night he dove off the bed and landed right on his head onto the corner of the …

My Son’s Curls

I just recently had a beautiful little boy, ok not so much recently (22 months ago) but recently enough. He was born with beautiful (and very little) dark hair. He grew into a beautiful fair skinned, blonde little man with a huge personality; and more energy than should be allowed for such a little boy (and …

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Yellow Fish

In Dr Seuss' own words," A person is a person, no matter how small". I find that little people are the ones who see the most beauty in life. Our children find joy in the simplest things; a flower, a ball, a sticker, a fish! It seems to me, the smaller the person, the more …

Sharing is Caring

The park, speaking as a parent, is like the jungle. You find a whole lot of children running around. All of them have come toting an entire cart of toys, bikes, scooters, wagons, cars, dolls, etc. They brought these many, many things to the park to play with, but something very strange happens once they …

Mommy So Sleepy, Baby Wide Awake

Has anyone ever noticed how some babies fight with all their might to stay awake? It almost seems like they just can't accept the idea of falling into a restful sleep. Unlike us adults (or at least myself) who can simply put my head to the pillow and I am ready to slip into dream-land. My …

Joseph Alexander’s Mom

I have been a teacher for 20 years. It was what I went to University to become and exactly what I did thereafter. I loved every minute, second of being a teacher. Not because of the bureaucracy of the administrations (as they are often what chases good teachers away), but because of the kids. I have …
