I was sitting on the couch watching a Scrapbooking show on the tv. Adrianna was sitting on the floor in front of me, contentedly playing with some of her toys. After a little while,...

Here is a mother’s guide on how to put laundry away when you have an older baby or toddler available and willing to help. Remove freshly laundered clothing from dryer and put in laundry...

This afternoon, I dropped Greg off at the airport as he is flying out to San Francisco for a business trip. I have been dreading this all week. I am going to miss him...

Adrianna has been extra sweet these past couple of days. She has always enjoyed it when I lay on the floor, as she can then crawl all over her mommy-gym. Today, as usual, she...

Well, I think I am done breastfeeding Adrianna. It wasn’t by my choice; it was by hers. The last few times I have attempted to nurse, she wasn’t too interested. Instead, I was given...

Our normal bedtime routine with Adrianna includes rocking her to sleep, using our glider chair. Glider chairs are such a blessing for new parents, by the way. While I rock her, I either sing...

I listen to a lot of children’s music with Adrianna. It is funny, because I am finding myself enjoying most of it. Even so, I do prefer some albums over others. I thought I...

We finally got around to buying some outlet covers at Walmart today. So now our downstairs level is mostly childproof, with the exception of a couple cords that Adrianna likes to grab and twirl...
