Five is… I’m not even sure what 5 is yet – Cole has only been 5 years old for a week, and we’re still getting used to it around here. I can tell you what 5 is NOT. Five is NOT a baby anymore. Five is a definite sign that … Continue reading
Cole turns 5 in less than 2 weeks, which I can’t even process right now. (FIVE? What?!) This past weekend, we had his birthday party – a little tamed down version… First off, I totally messed up and did not book a park in time. Given the size of Cole’s … Continue reading
I run with a pretty crunchy, granola crowd. We practice (mostly) attachment parenting, and my circle is populated with cloth-diapering, babywearing, active, outspoken moms. Who breastfeed. Which is great, and I applaud their investment of time and energy. I *know* breastfeeding is Not Easy. I’m pretty sure I have a little PTSD … Continue reading

Unless you are *brand* new here, you know that Lulu and I go to Music for Aardvarks on Mondays – and have been going since she was in utero. Cole began his classes with Luke at 10 months old, when we went to a free trial class; not only did … Continue reading
We love all things Disney around here… Cole’s bedroom has a Toy Story theme, and Lulu was Ariel for Purim (<– if you haven’t seen that picture you should go take a look because really? CUTE.) this year. Our television is programmed to tune to Disney Junior automatically when it is … Continue reading
I know. I *know.* It’s been awhile, and poor Lulu is just a neglected second child, blah, blah, blah. We’ve been busy, okay? Anyway. Lulu is SO 2. Terrible and terrific and wild and adorable; she is a handful! People are constantly guessing she is 3, not just because she … Continue reading
