This is a question that keeps coming up from friends around me. Although I am not a tantrum expert, I can speak from parental experience.
Some tantrums are due to the fact (I think, anyway) that Nugget can’t communicate what she wants. In some cases (like not wearing a bib or sitting in the high chair), [...]
Little did I know how bad one day can go.
The day we were to travel for the holidays, I woke at 4 or 5 so I could take a shower before we had to leave. We woke so early that we actually had to wake the baby before she could wake us up with her [...]
In the wee hours of the morning, before I’m even awake, my little one is at her boom box. She is pushing all the buttons — play, stop, pause — and saying, “Dance! Dance!”
Searching for children’s music that won’t grate on my nerves has been a side mission of mine lately. I came across the [...]
Yesterday, I shared a recipe for a delicious stir fry. It’s gone! Mysterious. I’ll resurrect it somehow and post it again soon.

I never thought I’d make it to more than a year of nursing. Now, we’ve been nursing for 14 months.
I had my baby while standing in my front hallway. I delivered her myself. Afterwards, [...]

First, I want to say I am not a medical professional. You should ask your doctor for medical advice. This post only shares what I did to treat my childhood eczema.
It took me a long time to learn all of this, and I share this information only so that I can prevent these painful rashes [...]
Today, I enjoyed reading this blog post about Play-doh.
The way it was written took me off on my own tangent. I remembered yesterday afternoon and how the Nugget, having missed part of a nap, came home and fell asleep in my arms. My cell phone rang in the other room. I could have put her [...]
When a woman refused to place a blanket over her baby while nursing on a Delta flight, the woman was kicked off the plane. I’ve nursed on multiple flights and never had a problem. Since several U.S. agencies confirm how good nursing is for children, I find it hard to believe nursing in public is [...]
Getting a baby to sleep through the night is one of the biggest subjects new parents talk about. I went nearly a year with no more than 3 hours in a row of sleep. These books helped everyone in my family sleep more, and they also restored my sanity. Enjoy the book reviews!
Good Night, Sleep [...]
