I live my life based on a bastardized form of Karma. A self-serving version really. I try not to do mean/bad things to people with the hope that they will reciprocate. Maybe that’s a crap reason to be nice, but hey, if it keeps me from being a heinous bitch then I figure it can’t… Continue reading Scaredy Cat Karma

Buy Her Wood
As I might have mentioned once or twice, Cara’s birthday was last weekend. In preparation for the blessed event, my mom and in-laws had been quizzing us on what presents they should buy for the rugrat. Initially, [as in several months ago] we said, “Get her anything! She really likes kitties, but we figure she’ll… Continue reading Buy Her Wood
I’ve Become a Cracker Addict!
In all honesty, I haven’t become addicted to eating them. I’ve become addicted to the pacifying properties of said crackers. How horrible is that? I have officially become the mom who whips out a bag of crackers when their child starts fussing at the store. This is not the way that things were supposed to… Continue reading I’ve Become a Cracker Addict!
Can Babies Be Snobs?
I just got back from a “play date” over at my friend Alana’s house. She has a sweet little (I use that term loosely since he’s taller than Cara) five month old boy named Cade. Anyway, you know how play dates really go when the kids are that young. I think they’re technically play dates… Continue reading Can Babies Be Snobs?
Special Little Snowflake
I was over at Strollerderby today reading new stuff and came upon Sense of Entitlement? Blame Mr. Rogers!. Honestly, it was the picture of Mr. Rogers that really drew me in. I’ve always thought that Mr. Rogers was a bit on the creepy side…but that’s not really the point of all this. Anyway, the …
How Long Are You Going To Do That?
Or, there’s the variation (yet still annoying) “So you’re going to stop after six months. Right?” “That” would be feeding my kid…with my boobs. Cara never took to the idea of eating from a bottle. I’m left with two options: nurse her or starve her. Why is it that if you breastfeed, people seem to… Continue reading How Long Are You Going To Do That?
Snakes on a Blog Part Deux
Earlier this morning, I was out on our porch writing my “Confessions of a Mommy Blogger” post. This is a daily occurrence for me. The way it normally goes is I read other blogs and troll around the Internet until Cara’s first nap. Once she’s asleep, I go out on the porch, drink my coffee… Continue reading Snakes on a Blog Part Deux
Cara Walking!
Confessions of a Mommy Blogger
I originally started this blog over on Everything Baby as a journal of sorts. It was a way for me to vent about crap that was going on in my life and a way for me to talk about Caroline without having to worry about people thinking that I was bragging. After several entries, I… Continue reading Confessions of a Mommy Blogger
She’s Asleep and I’m Sad
I just realized that I have been sitting here looking around the Internet and writing my “opinion articles” for the past hour and I haven’t heard a peep out of Cara. I was really skeptical about the “Ferber Method”. When I say skeptical, I mean to say that if you had told me three months… Continue reading She’s Asleep and I’m Sad
Bikinis for Babies?!
Isn’t this the cutest string bikini you’ve ever seen?! I was over at Strollerderby yesterday and saw the title “String Bikinis For Toddlers”. I had to do a double take. I found myself thinking, “That’s for a BABY?!” If you want your daughter to wear it then that’s fine for you and that’s your choice.… Continue reading Bikinis for Babies?!
Ann Coulter and Why You Should Quote Fairly!
I’m pissed. I never thought that I would be writing in defense of Ann Coulter. Actually, I’m not so much defending Ann Coulter as I am bitching about only half of a story being told. Coulter’s words have been taken out of context and twisted and that pisses me off. When that happens …
