M, this was SO well written and SO well timed! I reached a similar conclusion a few days ago - while R isn't getting up in the MIDDLE of the night, getting him down initially makes me want to shoot myself. I started reading that Positive Discipline book you recommended oh-so-long-ago for the sixth? seventh? time now? And we have now started the I-will-lead-you-back-to-bed-with-no-talking routine. Sigh. It's getting better sloooowly. There really are no quick fixes.
And regarding an earlier comment about wanting to experience both genders....isn't that a totally normal feeling????? I know I could relate! :)

Total Backfire: Goodnight Grab Bag
We all like to think we're getting this parenting thing down, right? Yet it always seems that just when relief settles in, the babes throw us a curve ball, no? Am I the only one this so consistently happens to? For our little family of 4-1/2, such is the case with the Goodnight Grab Bag, wh...
LOL! Me too. All day long.

'Cause No One Wants To Swim With Your Kid's Poop (even if your kid is really, really cute)
Getting out of the house with a baby and a three-year-old is a total gong show. Getting out of the house armed to the teeth with suits, sunscreen, floats, buckets, sun hats, umbrellas and towels? Madness. But I love the pool. And R loves the pool. And Pax loves the pool. We are water babie...
Thanks, Guys! :) I love this time of year.
Juliana - It was SO nice meeting you as well!!!

Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days....of Summer
You may have noticed. Things have been a bit sloooow around here lately. The truth is, M and I are horribly busy this time of year. So very, very busy. I mean - with all of the popsicles that need to be eaten, fireflies to be caught - what's a girl to do? You'll still be hearing from us o...
Thanks for the comments, girls! I'm expecting a maxi skirt in the mail soon....so let me play with pooch hiding options and get back to you.
For the shorties (me included)...I think the key is drape. Find something that flows well and doesn't have too much volume. For example, the skirt M is wearing (with the fitted top, flowy bottom) would do much better on us shorter mamas then the skirts that are flowy all the way down. Or try a long, fitted style. SO flattering....

Mad for Maxi Skirts
I'm mad for maxi skirts, mamas, and I'll tell you why. What can possibly be kinder to varicose veins, lumpy knees, mummy tummies and chubby thighs (mine, not my babes') than a crazy-long skirt? Is there a better skirt to wear to a playground? No. Is there an easier way to make your tired, ...
Gang - these comments are just so, so nice to read. Thank you!
Chief Blond - LOVE your pic! Thanks for sharing!!
Amanda - Nice bum. :)

We Have Swimsuit Confidence! (It's a thing.)
Ok, Mamas!! Get ready....it's Swimsuit Confidence Week! We've teamed up with Lands End and the CurvyGirl's Guide, as well as 20 other bloggers to all loudly proclaim: WE HAVE SWIMSUIT CONFIDENCE! (as I use my cute baby to strategically hide the pooch) Swimsuit Confidence week was started to...
Tysie - Nice pick!
Also, I just ran into a mom at J.Crew wearing these sliver wedges, and they looked really cute on: http://www.zappos.com/softspots-ventura-light-tan-m-veg-calf
She said they were run-around comfortable.

Round-Up: Mom-Friendly Sliver and Demi Wedge Sandals
S. and I have hotly debated the mom-friendliness of flare denim: "So dumpy when they pool at the ankle. . . " fervent nodding, "Only hot with platforms. . . " But with S., where there's a will there's a way, and--rocket scientist that she quite literally is--she of course found the perfect s...
