This morning Big was running around the house shouting, "We don't have anything to do today! We can do whatever we want!" Of course he had school, but that wasn't what he meant.

As Pink's 2nd birthday was approaching, I had an idea. I was going to give her the coolest ladybug party ever. Then I realized two things. One, she doesn't like crowds of people.

You May Have Noticed a Little Change Around Here
It's funny. When I started this blog back in June of 2010, I had visions of becoming one of the "big" bloggers. I don't really know what I thought that meant. Except, of course, people far and wide … [Read More...]

Some New Mom Friends
I don't know about you, but some of the best ideas I've gotten as a mom haven't come from the experts. Well, not the official experts. They've come from real moms. Deep in the trenches. Moms who, like … [Read More...]

10 Things I Learned This Week, Vol 103
In honor of Mother's Day, I'd like to open with a poem Little's class recited that I thought was so sweet. (Imagine your little ones' voices as you read it.) Mommy, I love you, For all that you … [Read More...]

Disney Baby Senioritis
Well, well, well. You may be thinking you haven't heard much about my writing at Disney Baby lately. You'd be right. I've been slow to share. But that doesn't mean there isn't great stuff to check out … [Read More...]

Women, Power, and Success
When Little was 10 days old, I took him to the pediatrician for his 2-week check up. He had a cold thanks to his big brother's preschool germs, and I was happy to check in and get the a-ok from our … [Read More...]
