Confessions of a Bad Mom

I try to be a good mom. In fact, I try to be a perfect mom. I’m sure many of us do. But sometimes I just fail miserably. I wish I could say that my child was on a routine and that he had a consistent schedule or that we’ve never had sleeping issues. Sadly, [...]

It’s an Epidemic

It’s funny the things that can bring you closer to other people. I never thought having two miscarriages and being an alumni of infertility and its subsequent treatments would have a good side, but it has.

Contractor Confusion

What’s This Hole For?

Shorty has a new trick. He now shoves food up his nose. Five days ago it was mac and cheese. Two nights later he was eating peacefully and Big and I got engrossed in a conversation during dinner. After a few minutes we noticed that Shorty’s chicken wasn’t just disappearing into his mouth. I looked [...]
