I popped over here for the first time, you were linked on Kiddio. Thank you – this is really exactly what I needed to hear this week, when I’ve been feeling too frustrated and have about resigned myself to just not being a “good” mom, because the effort (a 4yo, an almost 2yo, and a 3 month old make for a handful!) just isn’t worth it. So like I said, I really needed to hear this, the reminder that it IS worth it, and all I need to do is change my perspective.

I somehow just stumbled upon your blog! How wonderful. Not only is it about finding creativity, then I read this post which I could have written myself because this is my life! I have 2 boys, 11 months apart. They are now 1 and 2. Both hard ages. Just today, I think we mastered food shopping. My mood is awesome today just because of that! I look forward to reading each and every post on your blog and forwarding the link to a scrapbooking group that I have! Love it!!

it was a fun challenge, i just wish my hubby didn’t sneak up on me for the librarian look while i was sitting at my pc. i’ll try to get a better pic in once my boys are back from dad’s and i’ll get a pic w/all my progeny.

now i know why my former students usually feared me at first!

Avatar instructions: save your headshot (or other image) at 128 x 128 pixels or similar square (I’m happy to do this for anyone who needs help). Log in to WordPress. In the top left corner, under the “my account” menu, select “edit profile.” On that screen you’ll find a box for uploading your avatar. Let me know if you need help!

thanks for suggestions, brittany. we have given her nuk pacis, but at this point my pedi and i decided, if she’s managing to eat fine, don’t even introduce it if she’s not really interested. worst is her ‘falling off’ and gettig back on frequently, so she has big burps.

the sunday a few weeks back, when i was stuck on all fours for a few hours in the backyard w/slipped disc, my mil tried desperately to give her a bottle, but she just got mad. granted, she may have started that way….otherwise, we’re doing fine. happy to hear you are now, too! and i didn’t even know the cheeksqueeze i had stumbled upon was an ot solution!

Oh my God – this is one of the BEST exchanges – great laughs over morning coffee. Over Dad’s office, I would have taken option #1 for sure, so congratulations. And…I love the image of the Trooper stuck in front of Walgreens – like one of those dreams we have of being naked on stage. You all make me wish I had a chance to do it all over again – what different choices I might have made.
