Whew. I have my home back. My mom’s 2 week visit and my dad’s one week visit have come and gone. But guess what? My 2 1/2 year old still isn’t potty trained. I distinctly remember a conversation with my mother before her visit where I mentioned that since they’d be having so much one [...]
I hate bedtime

Seriously. Doesn’t every mom look forward to bedtime? You know, when you can kick back, read a book or watch TV, and just relax. My night usually consists of all the paperwork I didn’t get done during the day at my job, but still. Stuff I can’t do when Violet is awake. But bedtime is [...]

I think I’m pretty much cut out to stay at home. Just not as a mom. I mean, I’d love to stay in bed til 9am, then sip coffee watching the Today Show, or Rachael Ray, still in my PJs. I’d take a bubble bath around noon and then surf the web, blog, and perhaps [...]

Hitting the Ice

Growing up in Minnesota, I was on skates by Violet’s age, maybe younger. Of course, we had a lot of outdoor ice we could use – many for free, like lakes and ponds. We lived across the street from a pond and my brother and I would shovel it off and have our own rink. [...]
