It’s the attack of the mommy wars again. Don’t for one second think you haven’t heard of these. You know the ones. working mom vs. stay at home mom breastfeeding vs. formula feeding cry it out vs. anti-cry it out I saw arguments about it all last week. My friend Jill at Baby Rabies wrote [...]

Let’s talk boobs, shall we? Specifically my right boob. You know, the one that grew two MRSA-filled abscesses right after I gave birth to Brigham. I was reminded of this only because yesterday I had to make a visit to my lady parts doctor. I think that’s their official title, no? And each time I [...]

Brigham is sick. Again. I couldn’t tell you the number of times he has been sick. I lost count last year some time. Last Saturday he felt like he was burning up. We checked his temp and it was 101. We gave him a dose of Tylenol. He basically slept all day. I laid him [...]

I remember thinking it to myself. I think every mama-to-be must think these same ridiculous thoughts before their first baby arrives. I will not let myself go. I will not forget about me. I will not move myself to the bottom of the list. Well, shucks. Pop out a couple babies and that’s currently where [...]

You know that question, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Well, here’s my question. “If something you don’t want to happen is taking place and you don’t blog about it, is it really happening?” I thought if I didn’t blog about [...]

If you could have one day to do anything you wanted - child free – how would you spend your day? Ahhhh, the elusive child-free day. Haven’t seen one in awhile. Honestly, after the last couple of weeks we’ve had I would just like to sleep. All day. But I will elaborate to make my answer more interesting. [...]

I’m back at work after eight sick days at home. Yes, that would be eight! I could never have fathomed missing this much work. In case you were wondering . . . pneumonia sucks. It sucks bad. But I work for a wonderful company that actually cares about my well-being! I was going to try [...]

This post isn’t what you think. I’m not referring to the popular nursery rhyme. You see, in this scenario the cow is me {how very fitting, right} and the moon is my job. I’m actually using this to describe my breastfeeding experience as a working mom. Because sometimes I feel like I’m jumping over the [...]

Let me be honest . . . Brigham is a fussy baby. Don’t worry, we still love him with all of our hearts. But man, it’s difficult to handle on 4 or 5 hours of sleep! I definitely don’t think it’s as bad as colic. Don’t think we could go that far because he does [...]

After 4 weeks of taking antibiotics to get rid of the staph infection in my breast . . . I now have thrush! Lovely. Just lovely. Because I was in so much pain from the incisions where they drained the abscesses I really wasn’t paying attention to any other pain. But after those pains subsided [...]

I'm a working mama to two of the most beautiful and sweet little boys. Landon is 3 1/2 and Brigham is 21 months. Yes, I survived a stint of two under two with a baby who didn't sleep for a year. And if I ever actually realized my dream of walking down the red carpet I'm sure there would be dirt on my dress. I'm just trying not to trip over Tonka trucks. This is where I write, laugh, dream, share, cry, and hope with honesty.
