My daughter is ready to grow up. She’s in a hurry to be a pre -schooler. Whenever I drop her brother off at school, she pulls out the chair at the table by the door and sits down and starts flipping through books. That’s only on the days that she doesn’t just run right in […] Read more…

Hoarders Hitting too Close to Home
My three year old is a hoarder. There it is. I said it. It’s out there. This little man goes through our house creating piles of stuff. He calls them towers. It’s sweet. It’s also a pile of toys. It’s something that’s only started since he’s been three. Any toy that opens, needs to have […] Read more…
One More Baby?
How come there’s only one of me? This is the question my son asked me, one day, out of the blue. I wasn’t prepared for this one. It was totally unexpected. We talked about it and it is pretty obvious my little man wants a brother. He calls his toy Mufasa, from the Lion King, […] Read more…
And So It Begins…
From the moment my daughter was born it was true love. My son was mesmerized by his baby sister.

For the most part, […] Read more…

Am I Raising an Attorney?
When I would hear people complain about the “questions” stage with their kids, I thought they were being a bit “Debbie Downer” about it all. I mean, so what you hear the word “why” a million times a day. It’s how our kids learn, right? Right??!?!?! In the beginning of my son’s “questions” phase, I […] Read more…
Things Kids Say : On Aging
There is nothing like becoming a mama to keep me humble. Let me explain… I was hanging out in my son’s room, reading books. We were just shooting the breeze and then the following conversation went down. Son: Mommy, you have string in you hair. Me: I do? Son: Yeah, can I touch it? Me: […] Read more…
Things Kids Say…
Our son wakes up at least a half hour before us every morning. He plops down in the bed with us until it’s time to get up and get moving. It’s pretty much my favorite time of the day. I love the little bonding we do even that early in the morning. One morning while […] Read more…

I have read reactions all across the web to this blogger, Jamie Grumet, breastfeeding her three-year old son. The picture is controversial, for sure!
