Blowoutfits.
Originally Published April 8, 2009. Nobody likes dealing with a blowout. (let me take a minute to define – “Blowout: bloe-out v. – an infant or toddler’s poop that exceeds their diaper in such a way as to leach out onto EVERY item of clothing that they are wearing, along with whatever they are sitting […]
The Missing Steps.
We all have weak areas in our parenting. Or is that just me? One of mine and Chris’ weaknesses is regarding the passing on of the skill of walking. We’re not exactly risk-takers. We avoid pain, discomfort, and inconvenience more vigorously than Lady Gaga avoids modesty and inconspicuousness. And our children can sense this. And […]
The Ailing Angst.
When sickness plagues the doorstep of a child, the internal gnashing of Mommy teeth begins, and the most treacherous, dreaded question of all Mommyhood must be addressed. To take the child to the doctor or not. The arguments begin like this… 1. If I take my kid to the doctor, am I going to be […]

Signs of Love.
Disclaimer: This post is much gooier than usual. In fact, it has a gooiness quotient of 7.65 on a scale of ten where zero is any song from Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill and ten is Butterfly Kisses. You have been warned. My friends all told me how unbelievably loving little boys are. Although it […]
The Gyrobowl: Smarter Than A Baby?
Hi World – It’s Noah, back as a guest blogger again! (Did ya miss me??) I know, I know. I haven’t been blogging as much as I used to, but I’m far too busy in my evil plot to destroy all of The Servant’s electronic devices to actually sit down and use one. (Hey – […]
Proper Smockcessorizing

Evie, who was proudly wearing a very classy smock, taught me the new, modern smockcessorizing practices. It’s […]
