I love the NBC show “Parenthood.” I think it is incredibly well written, it is witty, all of the story lines are maintained so you always know what is going on. But what I really love about it is that it portrays a real family – a family with all sorts of issues. It tackles… Continue reading Perspectives in Parenthood
Mel, the Stirrup Queen, posts a Friday Roundup of blogs she finds most interesting throughout the week. This week’s roundup has prompted two thoughts, one from a comment on her roundup and one on the post about whether or not infertility makes someone a better parent. First, one of Mel’s commenters makes mention about how… Continue reading Hmmmm….
Yesterday my mom (Mommy) took me (Momma) and Little Man to the local outlet mall to shop for my (recently departed) birthday. Of course she went crazy buying for the Little Man. He came home with a stack of books half his height and ten onesies. Granted, the onesies were half-price at the outlet store,… Continue reading Mommy & Momma
I’ve always thought, even from when I was very little, that I would be a better mommy to a boy than a girl. I think I’m right. This is evidenced by the fact I can’t do hair. We were at my cousin’s yesterday and her little girl’s teeny-tiny ponytail (she’s not quite two) kept coming… Continue reading I Love Having a Boy!!
Debbie wrote a post yesterday that prompted the thoughts in the back of my mind to spring to the front. I have always had high expectations for myself. Typically I don’t project these expectations onto others, and having high expectations for myself has not really been a problem. But when it comes to motherhood… especially, I think,… Continue reading Great Expectations
Yesterday we tried squash. Or, squished, as my husband kept calling it. His reasoning? It had been squashed already…isn’t he so funny? Anyway… A friend recommended I spice the squash before I froze it. I declined. I decided I didn’t want to spice a whole batch. I can spice individual servings, should I so choose.… Continue reading Squashed
Thanks so much for the comments on the last post! I especially appreciate BethGo’s comment about starting solids. I am “going with my gut” now 🙂 So…our first adventure into veggies was peas. Sissy – do NOT buy a special baby food gadget. I totally thought I wanted one, but then couldn’t afford one. Here… Continue reading Whirled Peas
I’m only writing this (and posting it) because I wish I had been able to read someone else’s experience!! So…at LM’s four month appointment, his pediatrician said he was eating too much formula. I didn’t even know that was possible, but he was pretty darn close to 40 ounces a day. She said time to… Continue reading Feeding the Boy
Scene: Sunday at Church Setting: On a bench in the entryway/breezeway Characters: Me, Little Man, Older Lady Older Lady: He’s so handsome! Little Man: cheesy grin Me: Thank you! We are certainly blessed! Older Lady: Does he take after his father? Me: Yup! Stunned silence. My brain just toally froze up. The Older Lady looked… Continue reading Awkward Adoption Moment #1
I’m a bad blogger. I’m going like five days between blog entries. I guess I just feel like I don’t have a lot to say. Plus, the weather briefly turned warm, so I took advantage and took Little Man out for walks and to run errands. Let’s see…do I have any news? Well, I took… Continue reading Bad Blogger
