I have three kids. Sam has never, ever been hurt or injured, with the exception of a concussion when Jessie accidentally shut his head in the car door. Julianna has never ever been hurt or injured. Neither one has ever been sick enough to require an antibiotic, other than Julianna’s horrible, horrible thrush infection when …

It’s not always sleeping in the same bed – partly because our kids love to fall asleep next to us, and partly because we’re so damn tired all the time that sometimes we fall asleep before they do, and then the other one just sleeps in a different bed. It’s Marc making the pot of …

We have a tradition in our family – the birthday girl/boy gets to choose the restaurant for the birthday dinner. For the past several years, Jessie has chosen the food court at the mall as her favorite restaurant. Neither Marc nor I like to shop, and it’s not unusual for months to go by and …

The premise of the article is that everything we think we know about discipline is wrong, and that only by setting a good example, by exhibiting self control and self discipline, we set an example that our children will …

I’m not sure on blogging about my oldest anymore. Sam is still little and doesn’t care. But I’m still careful about what I write when it comes to him. Because he is a kid who doesn’t like a lot of attention, and not that I think he’ll get any attention from my blog, but …

I’m a “hands on parent.” The problem I’m facing is that hands on parenting, for an infant is completely right, and hands on parenting for an adult child is completely wrong. And the whole transition from infancy to adult is this giant process of me letting go. Some of the letting go is easy. First …

Here’s a post from the archives from February 2012. It really doesn’t seem all that long ago that we were dealing with tylenol suppositories and molars coming in… For the most part, my kids are great thru the night. Granted, I nurse well into toddler hood and co-sleep, and as a result, even if they …
