All I can say is that sometimes I feel all zen with the decision to wean my baby boy. And then sometimes I feel like I’m trying to squeeze into a dress that’s too small. It just doesn’t feel right. I question why. And then I remind my very sleep deprived psyche that it needs to [...] Now that I’m a Mom, I feel more fragile, more vulnerable. On one hand, from the moment I became pregnant I knew I was more powerful than I ever realized. I harnessed the strength to carry a baby and give birth. No small feat. Right? And then I did it again two years later, without an [...] So Girl-E is summing up to 40 pounds now. How ever did she get to that weight? I’m so happy she nursed for 17 months and ate like an ox until her 2nd birthday, cause the girl’s just decided that she doesn’t want much of anything to eat these days. “No fanks!” is all I get.

This is what happens when I’m in the trenches of 2 weeks worth of illnesses. So, here it is. Please. Pleeeease. I just need some sleep. These night wakings are doing me in.

Does it not occur to you, oh, creepy stranger, that while she’s walking she’s [...] I was totally one of those die hard Michael Jackson fans growing up. Songs from Off the Wall and Thriller are playing in the background of many of my childhood stories. Like the dance parties we used to have at my house with the 9 kids I grew up with. My Mom, lifting the delicate [...]
So! What’s the deal with my toddler not eating meat? She’ll tolerate chicken in small doses. I’m talking 3 bites max, and only if she’s being enticed with caesar dressing dip or mustard. Tonight I gave her a little ground beef on the side of her black beans and rice. And woa… the whole night [...] Ooh! Oprah… my favorite. She was on Tivo and the topic was on Motherhood. Yes!! I was so excited to see it on my list that I immediately pushed play. Knowing full well that it may not pan-out, but a girl can try. Plus, in the moment, it seemed like I had an opportunity to [...] |
