I've made it pretty clear, here and in my real life, I have really not been up to the idea of a second baby. I have never said never but I have certainly not been in the camp of wanting to go for a second. I haven't had that pull and I have certainly had [...]

Our Summer Bubble
In my part of the world, children started back to school this week, their summer coming to an end. The pool shut down, the town quieted down during the day, and routines resumed. I, for one, believe it should be illegal to start school back up until after Labor Day. It just makes sense to this summer [...]
Parenting: It gets easier
It is getting easier, this parenting thing. We are having more good days than bad. Quieter nights, less teething, eating better, more understanding and more independence in our household.

Suddenly, just like the day you were married, your friends and family will take a new interest in your sex life and what might result from that...besides an orgasm. It goes something [...]

It was officially time for Cora's first birthday party! I learned people either believe first birthday parties are over done and too much or they are just like me and love a reason to celebrate. Maybe I fall somewhere in the middle. Of course I didn't over do it because my husband killed my bounce house [...]
