Parker has something he wants to share with you.
He’s been holding back for over 2 months now, and he just can’t keep it in any longer.
So, without further ado, here is Parker’s announcement.
“I’m going to be a BIG brother!!!!”
If all goes [...]
Last week I had the best Joann’s experience ever. And that is saying a lot, because usually I have terrible Joann’s experiences. I don’t know what it is about Joann’s (maybe it’s just me?), but the workers are not super friendly, helpful, or (honestly! I’m not being mean!) competent. Maybe they just don’t take me [...]
Recently it occurred to me how much easier life would be if my child didn’t weigh 35 pounds at 18 months. I’ve never really known life as a parent that didn’t involve very heavy lifting. Those of you who have been around awhile remember that Parker weighed 20 pounds at just 3 months. [...]
Someone has a hard time fitting in store-bought pjs. Someone who is maybe wider than he is tall, and wears extra fluffy diapers. Hmmmm. Who could that be?
With my sewing area back up and running, I was finally able to solve our pj problem. I picked up the Big Butt Baby Pant Pattern [...]
Being that my little munchkin is turning 1 tomorrow, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on how much our lives have changed over the last year. This day, in particular, holds a lot of meaning for me. A year ago today, I went into labor.
Before having a child I always assumed my birthday [...]
It’s difficult to put my thoughts about breastfeeding into a concise and helpful post. So difficult it’s taken me several days to work on this post. OK, more like weeks. I guess I’m a little schizophrenic when it comes to my opinion on the whole experience. It’s hard, wonderful, painful, tiring, bonding, convenient, and inconvenient–all at [...]
Well, last week I took a break from blogging to do fun things (I promise to share soon!), but now I’m being forced to take another short break because Mr. Parker Thomas is sick. Again. I thought breastfed babies were supposed to be super healthy! My goodness. He seems to physically be on the mend [...]
For those of you who are mothers of boys, you can probably relate to needing some pink in your life every now and again. I’m not an overly girly-girl, but I still get tickled *ahem* pink by the idea of polka dots, flowers, and feminine colors. I can’t wait to have a little girl one [...]
Here is another repost from The Bolsa Chica blog about slings. I will probably do an update soon because my opinions have changed a little for using a sling with an older/bigger baby. Enjoy!
While I was pregnant, I wrote briefly about my desire to use a sling with my baby. I knew of a [...]
As a new parent it is easy to get caught up in milestones. Every month you find yourself checking baby books and websites, trying to assess whether or not your baby is above normal. You spend a lot of time wondering when your baby is going to hit the next supposed milestone and whether it [...]
