Who said parenting was easy?
Have you ever had one of those days when you ask yourself where things started going so wrong? One day you feel like you are in complete control of your well behaved child and the next day you wonder who raised that screaming kid that is running down the aisle pulling groceries down from the shelves. I used to watch these misbehaving kids on shows like Supernanny and I wondered how the parents could let things get so out of control. The other day I was at the pharmacy shopping when I suddenly...
Read MoreGrowing Up Too Fast
My daughter is turning three in a few days. I can’t believe how fast this past year has gone by. I feel like she has changed so much, from being this wonderfully stubborn toddler to a little person that you can have conversations with and sometimes even negotiate with. She has moved on from “what is that” questions to more complex questions like “do dogs like coffee?”. I love watching her grow up and change into the sweet little person that she is but at the same...
Read MoreA Different Kind of Mother’s Day
I guess it was bound to happen. Recently I’ve been bragging about how Sofia hasn’t been sick for so long, in fact she hasn’t been sick once in 2012.

Read MorePotty Training Fun
One and a half years ago we bought Sofia her first little potty chair. The very next day she went number two on the potty and when she realized what she had done she looked terrified. Our crazy dancing and cheering didn’t make her any more convinced that using the potty was a good thing. For the next year and a half, the potty was mostly used as storage for her crayons and for her stuffed animals to use when they needed to pee pee. On occasion she would sit down on the potty and read a...
Read MoreApps, iPhones and More
Sometimes I wonder what I spent my spare time doing before I had my iPhone or my iPad. I have pretty much given up on watching TV and spend the majority of my free time (the little I have) either browsing the web or using one of the many apps installed on my phone. Some time ago I realized what a life saver my iPhone can be in situations where my toddler is bored and starting to act up. One of these instances occurred a few weeks ago when I headed to the airport to pick up family that was...
