Bella, really?
Yes Mom, really. And don’t try to stop me, either.
I can’t be Nature Girl ALL THE TIME.
Now, ya’ll should know… I do not wear heals, pearls {any jewelry for that matter. Bella broke all five of my necklaces playing with them}, or have a hand mirror in the house. I also don’t do pink, [...]

Max woke last night with a nasty cough around 3am.
He stood at our door until I told him to go back to bed. I could hear loud, hoarse coughing that wasn’t easing up. Reluctantly, I dragged my sleep-deprived and heavier than usual body out of her light slumbering state to check in [...]

I love the frankness of the writer, Kelly Hogaboom, who blogs here: http://kelly.hogaboom.org/. Her most recent post, “feeling healthy,” made me laugh loudly. She also made me realize… I’ve been on a writing hiatus…
I just haven’t felt much like writing lately! Mostly cuz’ the days are simple, pleasant, and pretty uneventful. My applied [...]

Max’s skin is broken-out with a rash like no other rash I’ve seen before. I think (read: I am seriously hoping) that it is a post stomach virus eczema flair up. I woke last night to the sound of nails on skin as he could not stop scratching layers of dermis off his body. It [...]

I took Max to his pediatrician this morning for a second opinion on what is going on – mine being the first, which is that he has a parasite from that gum he found outside. Dr. Blanco agreed and also suggested it may be a virus that just needs to run its course. I [...]

I have been knocked-out-dragged-down-dead- tired for the past 5 days. I think my body is finally on the mend from this nasty cold. Oh yeah, and of-course I got my period just as I was starting to get sick. Good times.
So, I’ve decided to put Max back into his old preschool. [...]

Its not the constant touching, jumping on, talking, or needing that have worn me down today. Its not my son’s insistence that mommies don’t get sick. Its not the reality that there isn’t anyone to give me a lunch break. And its not the responsibilities of the day that have zapped me [...]

Saturday was BellaGrace’s first birthday!
Both Max and her are sick with a nasty cold that had them with high fevers – Bella’s got up to 104.3, Friday night, and Max’s to 104, Saturday. Poor babies.
Friday night was the scariest night of my life. Bella’s fever was so high she was trembling. Hal [...]
