I never liked playing with baby dolls as a child. As many of my friends embraced pretending to be a mommy, or even playing dress-up, I was disinterested.

When you're pregnant, especially with your first, you dream of all those "first" introductions. Experiences you can't wait to share with this new little person.

As a SAHM with children under 5 years old I enjoy the benefits of the school year. This means the mall is empty, fast food restaurants are empty, the park is empty, any place I want to take my kids is sparsely populated in the middle of the week.

The Law of Threes If you have children under the age of 7 everything spoken must be said three times. For example; "Max put your shoes on. Get your shoes on. PUT YOUR SHOES ON NOW!" It is also important to note that the intensity of the spoken word increases with each repetition. This is... Read More »
