Hi! Noah here. So last weekend, The Servant Who Calls Herself Mommy and that guy she hangs around all the time took me to this weird new place. And let me just say – it didn’t taste so hot. It was kind of like the big bathtub I told you about last time, but even […]
Mission: First Car Trip.
The Villain: A normally delightfully happy baby… …who has a severe disdain for all things vehicular. The Victims: The innocent parental units and The Sibling, who unfortunately is in the nearest proximity to the villain. Luckily, however, The Sibling has superpower capabilities, making her impervious to the agonizing screams of protest. The Mission: Beach. […]
Because I Like to Be Helpful: Baby Feeding Tips.
* One should be very structured in introducing babies to solid foods. Do not introduce them to too many different flavors at once, and keep the variety of foods to safe, bland choices. ** Rice cereals should be offered first (unless your particular doctor says they’re now poisonous…much debate is currently in action over the […]
How to Properly Embarrass Your Kid.
I’ve decided that we cannot homeschool after all. In fact, Ali will be attending public school as soon as possible. So that she can ride the bus. …because I really, REALLY want to be able to do what this guy did – Wave at the Bus. 170 days of school, spending less than $50 dollars […]
Let’s Play!
NEVER HAVE I EVER… … been summoned for jury duty – although I’ve always wanted to be. … fainted – although I’ve secretly thought it would be fun. … gotten, nor wanted, a tattoo. … lived alone – I went to college in town, got married when I was 19, and moved straight from my […]
BabyFax.
Nobody buys a car anymore without first getting a CARFAX. And nobody would buy a used baby product ever, EVER again if there were BABYFAX. Imagine going to your favorite kid’s consignment sale… only every item had it’s BABYFAX attached…. Oh! Here’s an adorable Easter Dress! And it has BABYFAX is attached! It looks […]
The Complications of Budgeting.
I do all of the budgeting, bill paying, checkbook balancing, and money laundering in our family. Okay, not money laundering, but I tell Chris that I do, because he never checks behind me to see how I’m handling our finances. He says that he trusts me implicitly. Some combination of my accounting degree, the fact […]
Cribs.
So Noah wrote this post over a month ago, and I just haven’t gotten around to posting it for him. He’s not too happy with me about that, complaining that a quarter of his life has gone by since then, and he looks nothing like he did back then. And really, he’s right. Now if […]
Everything I Know About Photography.
If one desires to learn how to use their camerain a more proper manner, one must first bribe their subjects. For instance, suggest a fun morning of chalking up the sidewalk, with the slight caveat that the child must, every now and then, look up for a photograph with a marginally happy look on their […]
Attack of the Greeks.
Noah here. I’ve got a lot on my mind today, so The Servant Who Calls Herself Mommy said I could use her blog to sort it all out. You see, Ali warned me about our Greek Heritage, and the resulting follicular fallout that has already attacked her. She said that it would likely ravage my […]
