A wild life is worth living.
Most of the time I feel like my life is the grocery cart with the wayward wheel that takes all my strength and focus to keep from plowing into things. I spend a significant amount of my day struggling to keep things 'on track' and steering my children in the direction of a schedule where... Continue Reading →
As a woman living in a varied society, I am aware that not everyone chooses to have children, and that parenthood is not for every person. My husband and I chose to have children, and may someday choose to have even more children. We make sacrifices so I don't have to hold a job outside... Continue Reading →
My oldest child will be three years old in August, so I don't know everything there is to know about feeding children. I don't even know everything there is to know about feeding my 2.5 year old. There are some things I have learned, however. Feed your kid what you are eating. It probably won't... Continue Reading →
I'm sure for anyone in the trenches of life, hearing "God only gives you what you can handle" is obnoxious blather, but every once in a while I believe it's true. My kids have been pretty good sleepers, as far as young children are concerned. True, when they are newborns they wake every couple hours... Continue Reading →

Last weekend I got in a fight and ended up in the emergency room. The fight was not, as you might assume, with some bitches in a bar who didn't know their role. I had a fight with my guts and it seems I lost. I am recovering now, and managed to avoid surgery by... Continue Reading →
I have been thinking about all those articles that have been popping up the last few years listing things it's horrible to say to someone with a disease/grieving/without kids/with kids/single/allergic to strawberries, etc. The one I read years ago called "What Not To Say to Crohn's Patients" was great, because a lot of people are...

Today started like many others: get Jackson to school so I can run down south to the pediatrician for Archer's well visit (6 months!), go to the store to buy staples, pick up Jackson, etc. Archer's well visit was successful and he is a healthy little cuddle bug despite being on the short side, though...

Today the topic of my blog is: I do not have time to blog. It's true, lots of people have two kids and manage to do other things. In fact, I have a friend who has two boys and writes books on the side. BOOKS! Whole books that require research and planning and editing and... Continue Reading →
