Turning Three
For at least 5 months now, Cora has been asking for the same toy at Target. Every week we go to the baby doll aisle, she picks up the box and stares at it lovingly. She goes over everything that comes in the box, pink baby, diaper, bottle, and binky. Then we say goodbye to…

Mommy Group of 2
I haven’t made it a secret that I’m just not in to the whole mommy group thing. Mainly because I can’t find one and my kiddo hates people. However a friend on FB posted that she was looking to start a mommy group or needed someone to just hang out with because she is a…

Just because I have a kid doesn’t mean I like kids
When I was pregnant I wrote about how people assumed you should love their kid because you are pregnant. Wrong. It was such a weird phenomenon. Turns out, it just keeps on getting better….I mean worse. I may be in the minority but just because I have a kid doesn’t mean I like kids. Or…
