I have returned
By Cassie I have a tendency to assume other mothers are judging me. I have not blogged in two weeks. I honestly felt as thought I had nothing to say. I felt as though I wasn’t worth enough to share my thoughts with other mothers. This happens from time to time. Aiden will turn three…
Little Babies Everywhere
By Beck I held a friend’s newborn baby yesterday and The Baby hovered nearby, half sweet-hearted (gently stroking the baby’s ears and fingers), half jealous (getting a little TOO enthusiastic in her ear-and-finger stroking) and I was amused by how automatic it all was to me – the calm hand guiding The Baby, the feel…
You’re Only as Old as The Young People Say You Are
By Kelly A few weeks ago, I spent some time on the campus of my college alma mater. It was fun to walk around the familiar corridors — this time, toting a baby instead of a backpack — and marvel at how far I had come in the years since I graduated. Of course, I…
What Do You Watch With Your Kids?
By Veronica We do not have a television. We did not have high-minded reasons for pitching the tv. We did it for one reason only: whenever I have a tv, I watch garbage. For hours. Afterwards, I can not even tell you what I saw. Now we entertain ourselves with the internet. Whether it’s blogging…

Special thanks to one of my bloggy heroines and my friend-in-real-life Lisa@Take90West. She’s a busy Mom to four and one of the most genuine, sweet people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I know y’all are gonna love her as much as I do, and I bet most of us can relate fully to one…

By Tina Swimming is a very important skill for kids to learn. I feel so strongly that my son should learn to swim that I started him in a Water Babies class at the local swimming school when he was 14 months old, which was in January. That’s how much I love my son. So…

candlelight
By Beck I nearly burned down my house this morning! It was unintentional and involved a CANDLE LEFT BURNING IN AN EMPTY ROOM – just like the PSA! – and I came in and found that flames were just moments away from beginning to lick the wooden wall. Good timing on my part, I suppose,…
Learning from Shenanigans
Kelly is on vacation this week. To preserve family goodwill, she’s not working but out enjoying the sunshine instead! Please welcome our guest poster today, Vanessa from I Never Grew Up. “Mama loo-oo-k I made a big mess,” my daughter informs me with a sly grin as I open her door to wake her from…
