What’s in A Name: The Art of Naming Babies | October 14, 2010

Fall.  The season of colorful leaves, warm sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes and a plethora of new television shows.  Having been a fan of Arrested Development I recently tuned in to Will Arnett’s new show, Running Wilde, to find it narrated by a precocious child named Puddle.  That’s right, the name of the character is Puddle.   And while I find this to be a very endearing nickname I’m not entirely sure I enjoy it as a first name.  And, yes, I’m aware it’s a fictional character and most likely stems from the fact she was born and raised … Read More »

“Oh Dear” and the Big Boy Bed | August 19, 2010

Dear Hayden,

Mommy remembered how to type!  Will wonders never cease?  Remember that time when I promised I’d chronicle your milestones in a letter each and every month, so you could look back on them and be embarrassed for the both of us?  Well.   Turns out that with a toddler, one doesn’t have an abundance of time to chronicle or blog or apply deodorant or what have you.  So I present to you this “multi-month newsletter” and hope that you’ll forgive me for slacking and take it with a grain of salt.  Or MULTIPLE grains of salt, like the rim of … Read More »

Getting Organized to Send Child to College | July 26, 2010

I can’t believe school is literally right around the corner! I thought I would write my next two articles about getting your high school graduate off to college organized and ready to take on the new world.

Have your him/her make a list of what is most important to them to bring with them to college. This will help you have a grasp as to how much they have and what you have left at home to make room for you new craft room!  From the list you can see how much they want to bring and this will give you … Read More »

Newsletter: Months Eighteen and Nineteen | May 31, 2010

Dear Hayden:

Mommy is bad at blogging.   I totally missed your 18-month newsletter, partly due to the fact that I HAVE AN 18-MONTH-OLD.   Anyone who owns a toddler knows what I’m talkin’ ’bout, Willis.  So I’m combining your 18th and 19th month letters, as the last couple of months have been a blur, anyway.

Might I start off by saying that you’ve been SUPER helpful these past couple of months?  That sounds totally sarcastic when I read it back, but I’m actually dead serious.  You’re eager to help mommy with tedious chores such as folding laundry (read: hoisting yourself into the laundry … Read More »

The Life of a Singleton – Adventures in Babysitting | May 11, 2010

As the only one in my social circle who does not have, nor is attempting to conceive, a child I sometimes get asked if I can watch little Bobbi-Sue or Billy-Ray when my friends are in a bind for a sitter and if my schedule permits (and it almost always does) I am more than happy to oblige. Consider me biased but my friends have the cutest, smartest, most well-behaved kids on the face of the planet so I’ll take every chance I get to spend some one-on-one time with them. After all, I’m always looking for an … Read More »
