A few blogs back I joked about the “seven-year itch” and how marriage takes work. Ironically, since then infidelity has struck my family. The good news is that this bout of unfaithfulness wasn’t my husband’s or mine. But unfortunately it’s doing some damage that feels irreparable. I come from a family that has always been pretty private. Now I’ve chosen an outlet for expression that is very public. Talk about …

It’s been interesting thinking about what gender the baby is going to be all these weeks. Finally my 20-week appointment arrived and I have hardly been able to stand the suspense. But, it’s also been interesting to see what other people assume we want the outcome to be. We already have two girls so people automatically assume that we want a boy and there certainly has been a suggestion or …

I have always heard that marriage takes work, but I didn’t know how much work marriage would take once having children. My husband and I recently celebrated our seven-year wedding anniversary (insert seven year itch joke here). Ironically I’m finding that the seven-year itch jokes were probably founded by people who had been married with children. Now don’t get me wrong, neither of us feels like straying away from our …

I want to write about Halloween and all the candy I’m going to have to negotiate away from my 3 year old this year. Unfortunately, what’s been on my mind these days is the darn Swine Flu and whether or not to vaccinate my children. As a pregnant woman, my OB/GYN has given me the regular flu shot but the H1N1 vaccine safe enough for me to take is not …

When my first daughter was born I went back to work after my maternity leave was over. After four months of being at home with her going back to work was difficult. I felt I almost died when I had to drop her off at day care on that first day back at work. Later, I remember being sad that I missed her first green bean eating experience and other …

I love kids. I love them so much I am having another one. At 16 plus weeks pregnant that better be the case right? Well, even though I love them and wouldn’t not want to have my children, I don’t always know how to be a good parent. Just because I have a blog and sometimes write like I know what I’m doing, trust me, I don’t have a clue. …

The other day our television broke. Gasp! No! That’s right, we only own one television. When I turned it on and couldn’t get it to work, I was traumatized. What was I going to do? My whole morning routine depended on getting that thing to work. What about my morning ritual? How was I going to get in my morning meditation, make and eat breakfast, and get the kids ready …

Mark Twain said, “Some of the worst things in my life never even happened”. When I stumbled upon Twain’s quote, I reflected on how useless and wasteful the emotion of fear has been in my life. Although I have resonated with that quote for much of my adult life, I have also wasted a lot of time worrying about things happening or not happening. Either way I have learned that …

I thought it was common knowledge that there are a few questions out of respect and common decency that you just don’t ask people. The following questions, for example, “How much money do you make?” and for women especially, “How much do you weigh?”, “How old are you?”, and “When’s the baby due?” These are all questions that most of us have been taught to refrain from asking. Uh, yeah, …

We’ve all heard it said, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”. I don’t know about you but I’ve met some pretty bad apples in my day, both parents and their children. This concept was one that scared me a bit prior to becoming a parent. I worried about setting a good example for my little girl. Was I going to be the kind of mother that I wanted …
