a) Denver, CO (until August when we move to Columbia, MO)
b)2 boys, one 3 y.o and the other 4 months
c) I am a SAHM and my husband is a student (moving to MO to start his PhD). My husband wakes up really early for his current job (3:30am!) so usually he isn't around in the mornings. We generally wake up at 7 and go go go from there, the 3 y.o has too much energy. We live in a small home, around 800 sq.ft. which is small for the area.
"Monday Mornings" is Hitting the Road!
I've got a big announcement to make today, but before I do, let me give the newbies a little background. Last year, I did a photo shoot for Well Rounded NY with lifestyle photographer, Raquel Bianca to document my morning routine. Many reacted to the photos negatively. People thought they look...
Have you tried eliminating food from your diet? It may help with the digestion. Dairy is often a culprit.
Also during the day you may need to shorten her naps or keep her awake at longer periods of time, with bright lights. Signifying it is daytime, or awake time. Then at night make sure it is really dark (or darker).
Also maybe she just needs to grunt it out on her own, if she isn't crying maybe leave her there for a bit longer in the bassinet?
Hope you find a plan that works.
The Babymoon is Over
Remember when I said newborns are a piece of cake? That must have been the leftover drugs from the epidural talking. I mean, don't get me wrong— they are WAY EASIER than little girls who just turned three... but it's not like you can leave them on the living room carpet and go have a spa day ...
Hilarious! It is always good finding new friends that get your humor. It makes life better and more enjoyable.
Mossy Balls: The Gift That Keeps On Giving
This is going to be an uncharacteristically child-free post. If you want your Mazzy fill, I suggest "Shit Toddlers Say" from yesterday. It's Mazzy at her finest and I worked my ass off on it all weekend. Today I am going to tell you the story of NINE MOSSY BALLS. On New Year's Eve, Mike and I w...
I am one of those Chiefs fans, and unfortunately I can't help it since that is where I grew up. But hopefully Leland can win this contest by being the grumpy Chiefs fan!
The Road to the Baby Bowl
Details for photo contest and giveaway at end of the post. The NFL play-offs are starting this weekend and the Giants have secured a spot (thank god or else I might have had to flee the house for protected custody last Sunday when a screaming maniac bearing striking resemblance to my husband u...
What a busy year!
I really love that photo of the three of you. I think more candid photos show so much more than perfect photos.
Mommy Shorts 2011 Recap
The thought of summing up this year is so daunting that I considered skipping it altogether. In addition to keeping Mazzy alive to the age of two(!), maintaining what I think is a healthy marriage and holding on to my day job, somehow I have continued to write Mommy Shorts daily, launched a se...
I laughed for the entire reading of the this post. That is all I have.
And the Holidays Officially Begin
There is one problem with being two and having your birthday so close to Hanukah. You think that any candle lit in your vicinity means that it is the continuation of your special day. Any attempt at saying a prayer as we lit the menorah was cut short by Mazzy's rendition of "Happy Birthday". ...
That is impressive! Most two year olds are hard to understand when they speak.
Is There a Doogie Howser in the House?
I'm sick. Like hacking cough, if my life were a movie this would be DEATH FORESHADOWING, sick. If you remember, I also had a cold a few short weeks ago. It seems that I was permitted to get better long enough to prepare and host Mazzy's birthday party but as soon as it was over, I was sentenced...
I really don't get the Elf on the Shelf thing myself. I had never heard of it until this year, maybe because I didn't follow blogs last year? It is a bit out of hand in my opinion.
But the inappropriate Elf on the Shelf is my style. Too funny.
Inappropriate Elf (One More Christmas Tradition That Makes Me Sad To Be Jewish)
Since I've lived in New York my whole life, surrounded by fellow Jews, I've never felt like I was missing out around the holidays. That is, until I entered the wide world of blogging and had to figure out what to write about on Christmas. Last year it was trying to compete with blog post after...
