bad day… »
I’m having one of those days, you know? The kind where you wish you could go to sleep, rewind and start all over.
Sunday night, reading books in Pea’s bed to the girls, I’m pretty sure that Coco broke my nose. She beaned me, square in the face, with her tiny little head. She was fine. [...]

My time is valuable. I once heard that if stay-at-home mothers were actually paid for the work that they did, they’d make somewhere around $800,000 a year. Can you imagine? How do we work that one out?
I don’t need permission to have a life – to take some time off. I work just as hard [...]

We just got a bunch of new children’s books in our home, and the timing was perfect. Even with what has to be the hundreds that we already have, I get bored…

With a 4 and a 2-year old, I feel like my whole life is one big “no.” And lately, Pea’s whole [...]

I’m in a bit of a predicament here. About one year ago, Pea was obsessed with ballet. So naturally, we wanted to find her a class, just as soon as we settled into our new home. And we did find one. Good news: close to our home. Bad news: quite literally the only dance studio [...]
she’s four! yesterday! »
Check out my most recent post on The Bump. For some of you, you’ve already heard it: it was hard to watch my ‘baby’ turn four years old. Yesterday was the official date. And if you asked Pea yesterday what day it was, she would tell you that “it was the day they took me [...]
the party was a smashing success! »
Pea’s fourth birthday party was on Saturday, and I think it’s safe to say that a great time was had by all.
There were beautiful party dresses, chosen just for the special occasion:
There were good friends and lots of laughing:
There was an extra-special birthday cake with not one but two layers – the top was a [...]
