Unsolicited advice

I don’t stop people on the street to tell them what they should or should not be doing and neither should people tell me what I should or should not be doing. Two weeks ago my sister Auntie Beige (SEE you made an appearance) offered to take Princess Peach to swim lessons as The Hubster was away […]

A weenie man

This entry is not about penises. Sorry. But the title refers to a children’s song! Listen below: Princess Peach and i listen to lots of music. Sometimes kids music or sometimes “regular” music on the radio. I often try to make her listen to musicals but she doesn’t seem to be a fan (yet). It […]

A Day of Celebration

Not only is today Father’s Day but it is Princess Peach’s 10 month birthday. I can’t believe how fast 10 months have gone by. I feel like it was yesterday that I was pregnant anticipating the arrival of the little person inside me. And here we are 10 months later with an almost walker and I feel […]

It’s there when you need it

I did have to be monitored for a while and my immune system was non-existent as well so I was susceptible and got lots […]

A sign of the times

In my field I have worked with many children who have used some basic signs to help aid their communication when they are unable to do so with their voice. So, when Princess Peach was born I knew immediately that we would be signing with her. From birth The Hubster and I have been signing […]

Name Game

I love names. I have for a long time. There is so much in a name. The pronunciation, the popularity or unfamiliarity,  the history, the meaning, the reason for its choosing, and language of origin. For me, choosing a name for a child is serious business. When I was pregnant The Hubster and I would […]

Mommy Confessions

Top 5 recent mommy confessions: 5. Sometimes Princess Peach finds a cheerio (or food from a previous meal) on the floor and eats it. At first I was NOT ok with it, now I don’t mind so much. The 5 second rule is overrated…haven’t you heard of the 5 hour rule? 4. When she squirms […]
