I’m obviously a big fan of breastfeeding your children, for as long as they need it. Another bonus to nursing your toddler is that they really do tend to stay healthier than children who are not nursing. Anecdotal evidence, sure, but it’s been the case, time and time again, when my older two will be …

Snow Day
Last Friday wasn’t a snow day, exactly. At least not as far as the Worcester Public Schools were concerned. But I didn’t grow up in Worcester, and after almost nine years of living in this city of a thousand hills, I’ve reached the point where if it’s icy out, I’m not driving. Marc had another …

Just another day in paradise
I’m still adjusting to a new schedule. For a little over a year, my husband was out of work, and we adjusted very nicely to being home together during the day. For my littlest one, it was ideal. For most of the first year and a half of her life, she had two stay at …

Sneezy, sneezy, sneezy
I’ve got a cold, but thus far, it’s kind of a fun cold. I like sneezing. Not all the time, but it’s a lot more fun than hiccups. Plus I’m also under the influence of benedryl and advil, so that’s helping as well. All is delightful here today. Both the older kids bopped off the …

Because sometimes I need to brag
My kids are awesome at playing alone. Julianna just spent easily a half hour collecting babies and blankets from around the house, and laying them all down for bed in Sam’s room. Why Sam’s room? I don’t know… but she was so BUSY and so cute. She was going back and forth between the living …

So here are my parenting birthday resolutions for my thirty eighth year (in no particular order…) …

Growing up is hard, but pushing them to grow up is harder
We co-sleep. Julianna Ruth has slept next to me every night of her life, and I’ve got no plans on trying to transition her into her own bed anytime soon. Sam and Jessie have lovely, lovely bedrooms, decorated, filled with toys, big inviting beds, with stuffed animals, special blankets and pillows on them. And really, …

I’m back, oh I’m back
I’ve been without a computer for days, weeks, and thanks to Mike Wilder (a man I will be forever grateful to), I’ve got a loaner laptop until we can find a cheap computer to replace the one that died. And honestly, after the two months that we had been thru, it’s amazing that the computer …

Kid Update – 15 random facts about Jessica
1 – She consistently self identifies as the “middle child,” despite the fact that in reality, 90% of her time is spent as the oldest of three. 2 – She dotes on her baby sister, but seems firmly convinced that her little brother is out to get her. 3 – She really likes reading, but …

Forays into homelessness
We were technically homeless. We weren’t living on the street, thank goodness, and have a strong safety net of friends and family who were all very helpful and loving and thank goodness for wonderful friends who housed us and made us feel welcome and loved. But the facts are that, for a month, my husband, …
