Today my son is 8 months old – how time flies! Gone are the days when I could cradle him like a newborn baby and sing him to sleep. There is no better way to relax than that, and I really miss it. Yesterday when I was in Walmart, I literally almost cried when I […]
I had to share this funny little story because something our almost 5-year-old daughter Sammie said the other day had my husband and I in stitches. She calls out from the bathroom – “Dad! I have to go poop but I can’t… Oh, nevermind!” Hmmm, now that I’m reading it, it’s not quite as funny.
Tonight is the night we change our clocks for Daylight Savings Time. I guess we’re ending Daylight Savings – or maybe we’re starting it. I don’t know and I don’t really care. All I know is that I will be losing an hour of sleep. Ok, it’s not THAT bad; I do like when the

My “pay” (bringing up healthy happy children who turn into independent, admirable adults) is by no means immediate, and it also depends upon my ability to

We went to the Toledo Zoo again last weekend (it was our second weekend to visit the zoo in a row; we visited on Feb 7 and 15). Almost a week has passed since our last visit, but I had other blog posts lined up and ready to go, so that’s why I’m first writing
