We found out about a year ago that my son has a moderate/severe peanut allergy. That knowledge precipitated our choice of preschool and some changes we made around our home. His food allergies impact our lives in so many ways, not the least of which are holidays, especially Halloween. Most of our holidays are centered around …
Halloween is the perfect time for babywearing moms and dads to use their creativity, transforming all your family members with awesome and hilarious costumes. Or, if you’re like me, get pit stains in Hobby Lobby trying to figure out how to magically acquire costume making skills in under a week. If you’ve got tiny ones …
I’m confident enough to admit I’m a certifiable geek. Dr. Who, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Battle Star Galactica, bring it. I fangirl over sci-fi/fantasy like no other.

About a year ago, my son began showing interest in the globe my husband had in his office. Mostly he just enjoyed spinning it around, but eventually, he began asking us about the shapes he saw and the names of the continents.

I have three kids under 4, and for some reason, all three of my children love taking their clothes off during nap time. My oldest has finally outgrown this, but my toddler twins are right in the thick of it. Going into their room after nap and being greeted by a naked toddler with poop …
I am not what you would call a gardener. I’ve never grown much of anything, except for babies, but that track record is about to change, starting with this tomato planter. We happen to be living in a rental house with enough yard to grow somethings. We’ve started a few seedlings, and we’re beginning to …
Do you know how to clean your dishwasher? My husband and I have rented homes for 11 years now. Each apartment, condo, and house with different appliances. Some were brand new, most were less than ideal. Nothing is more frustrating than opening your dishwasher to find all the dishes you prewashed and then ran through …
Like most moms of little ones, I drink coffee like it’s going out of style. It’s my life’s blood, the nectar of the gods. I love it almost as much as I love my kids, and some days, more. But my teeth don’t love it so much. The years of sleepless nights and coffee guzzling …
I can barely believe it, but my baby boy is turning 4 next week! He is growing so fast, I don’t know what to do with myself. I’ve been meaning to get a growth chart for a while now, but all the ones I really like are way out of my budget. Nothing sparks a …
