• Mom tip #372

    Benadryl rocks. Yeah, I am pretty sure this is written somewhere but until today, I had never actually tried it. I gave Will some Benadryl today and he’s been asleep for two and a half HOURS! Next to the nine months he was in my womb, I’d have to say…

  • Mom’s back-to-school needs.

    A Back to School note for your kids: Kids, don’t forget the wonderful mom in YOUR life this back-to-school season. She’ll need jeans, tops, sweaters and of course a new pair of fall boots so she can look stylish at all those classroom parties. She’ll need to look her best…

  • Who’s who?

    David took this with his phone yesterday while he was home with the boys and I was out on some appointments. When he first showed it to me, he had me guess who was who and I guessed WRONG! Their heads are just so interchangable, it’s hard to tell them…

  • Someday…..hopefully.

    Today I had an errand to run at a local kids consignment shop. I managed to browse through since they were having a great sale and because I also had a store credit I needed to use. I managed to find a great Gap button down dress shirt for N8…

  • The next superhero??

    I wasn’t sure whether Nathan was trying to play a firefighter, pirate, or golfer, but either way he looked too funny NOT to snap these. When I later questioned him about his choice in costumes, he told me very matter-of-factly that he was a firefighter. The black pirate eye patch…

  • Reading, reading, everywhere!

    Yesterday before leaving for errands I had sat Will down on top of the washer to put his shoes on before walking out the door. Nathan was standing in front of the dryer just patiently waiting for us to wrap up. All of a sudden he looks up at me…

  • Restaurant review: Nathan’s Cafe.

    In true entrepreneurial spirit (mostly inherited from his Dad), Nathan opened up “Nathan’s Cafe” this evening serving a delish array of play-doh delicacies. He served me a green oatmeal raisin cookie for my after-meal treat. Upon asking him what kind of establishment “Nathan’s Cafe” was, he had informed me that…

  • Big saver.

    David’s mom came home from Taiwan awhile back with a great little piggy bank for Nathan. It’s actually one that you’d have to literally break in order to get into. It has a slot for coins but no opening to let them out, which is a great thing. Anyway, ever…

  • I am out of commission for the moment.

    I am buried under my mound of notes of things to do. Plus, I am trying to pull all of my home movies and photos off of my laptop, which is dying a slow (but sure) death. Luckily, it’s warranty goes through October of 2008 so that sucker IS getting…

  • Will: Sixteen Months

    My little guy is 16 months today! Recap up soon…. I am just up to my ears in putting out fires at the moment. I can hardly keep my thoughts straight at this point! Love ya’, Willsey!
