A few months ago, I went to go into my bedroom and the doorknob came off in my hand. We rarely close that door anyway, so it wasn’t such a huge deal to put the knob aside and forget about it completely…until Cole accidentally locked himself in there a few … Continue reading
Yesterday, Cole woke up cheerful, on time, and on his own. He ate his whole breakfast (healthy choices!) and got dressed without a wrestling match. He bounded happily out of school, told me about his morning (!!!), and did not wake up his napping sister when he got in the … Continue reading
We are always looking for new things to do with the kids – *especially* at the end of a very long winter, when yet another trip to the mall is less than exciting, and the playgrounds are still too muddy and cold to go to. By the end of February, … Continue reading
I don’t have a post HERE for you guys today because I’m over visiting Nicci. She asked for some babywearing advice on choosing a carrier – come see what she got! Continue reading
I hate Thursdays. Without the structure of Cole’s preschool in the morning, Thursdays just seem to go on for-ev-er. Plus having Cole home all morning means Lulu doesn’t really get to nap, and by mid-afternoon no one is in a great mood. So yesterday, I looked over the toy carnage … Continue reading

Just a quick look back here – I was searching for a file on my computer when I came across this gem; this video was taken in January of 2011, so Cole was about one and a half – look how little! Here, he demonstrates his mad sign language skillz, … Continue reading
Yeah, yeah, it’s Thursday, I know. This week is kind of wonky: Cole is off from school, but Adam isn’t – he was supposed to, but the school district had to take the days back after Hurricane Sandy. I have grown attached to preschool! Anyway, Thursday is the new Wednesday. … Continue reading
Cole is, thankfully, out of diapers and has put his days of diaper rash behind him. Lulu, on the other hand, has started sleeping longer stretches (which leaves her damp longer), and is constantly trying new foods (which can irritate her tushie), so when Boudreaux’s Butt Paste offered to send … Continue reading
