Like contributor Shanna blogged last month, I also recently went thru the "lovely" experience of 3-day potty training. I'm proud to say the whole family lived to tell about it and we all came out on top.

My three year-old little girl just had a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A). When I first received the recommendation, I took to Google and read some very harrowing stories about the recovery period that had me trying to talk myself out...

The trickest part of all of this: The Backpack. The very bag that my little one packs full of snacks and his...
Oh my gosh! Did you see that woman nursing her almost 2 year old???
Oh wait, that was me.
Truth be told, I never intended for it to be this way. Don't get me wrong: I had always planned on breastfeeding...
I am a stay at home mom, and I'll be honest; I'm struggling. At each stage my son has been in I feel like it's the hardest yet, and I eagerly (and sadly) anticipate the next stage of his...
