Would You Rather? Cucumbers or Ice Cream. . .

Mac’s one year healthy baby doctor’s visit was Friday.  Now, if you recall at his last visit, he was perfectly healthy but I was admonished not to feed him at 4AM and to put him to sleep using a “cry it out” type method. I ignored the advice. That was a few months ago.  Mac still prefers to be held

Pregnant & Delusional Mother: Birth – The True Final Frontier – Part II

I suppose in some imaginary “perfect world/life” there were cute little Baby Gap sporting children who slept in nurseries outfitted by Serena & Lily and

In Which the Sermon Sucks and Possibly Earns Reluctant Mother A One Way Ticket to Hell

We made a little party for Mac on Saturday to kick off what is shaping up to be a week-long birthday extravaganza.   It was a simple party and our guest list was short – his godparents and their son who is about 6 months older than Mac. I’ve known Mac’s god-mother since 6th or 7th grade.  And I was

Friday Funny: Suck Storm Door, Door Sucker

The ballet teacher from my youth, Carole Thompson, might consider this a respectable second position.  My Mother might marvel at Mac’s development and strength.  All I know is, I have to clean that stupid storm door AGAIN!!
