I can’t believe it is nearly the end of the year. The first of the big fall/winter holidays is already behind us.
Halloween is over. Thanksgiving is now just a couple of weeks away. And, well, you know what isn’t far behind I have vowed this year, as I do every year, to slow down [...]
I hope you all had a howling Halloween! This is the first year that Camille kind of got the whole idea of “Trick or Treat.” She wasn’t, however, crazy about the costume at first. In fact, she screamed for the first 5 minutes of wearing it. We even dressed her four-legged brother up to help [...]
You can’t watch the news, read the paper, or surf the internet without seeing h1n1 or swine flu stories. When the outbreak first started I wasn’t sure that I would get Camille vaccinated. Now, I am positive that when we do finally get the vaccinations in our area that she will get one. The CDC says [...]
Many of my loyal blog readers, thank you, know that on the day we found out I was pregnant with Camille my mother was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. A blood cancer. I have been at almost all of my mother’s doctors appointments and Camille has been there too. She is very used to his office. In fact, when [...]
When Camille was an infant she was a perfect angel in church, she slept right through mass! Then once she learned to walk, we all walked right into the cry room and we’ve been there ever since. Well, this week we ventured into the “Big People’s Section “. We sat in the last row for a [...]
My husband and I were married a while before we were blessed with Camille. Even before she came along, we were not “out on the town” people. We like spending time at home. So, when she arrived, staying at home wasn’t something new. Instead of the two of us, it was the three of us. When we do venture out, [...]
I was thinking the other day of all the things the people in my life, who are mothers, never told me when I was pregnant. Why is that? Why do mothers not tell mothers-to-be what it’s like to be a mom? I decided I’m going to share some secrets. Here we go, in no particular order.
You will [...]
I knew it would happen. I knew sooner or later I would hear those three little words. “Mommy don’t go!” And it broke my heart. For the first time, I was right smack in the middle of a mommy dilemma. I had to go to work but my toddler was tugging at my heartstrings.
First, it was “don’t [...]
I can hardly believe it, summer is gone! My mother always says the older you get, the faster time goes. Once again, she is right. It was just Memorial Day. Now, in what seems like the blink of an eye, Labor Day is here and gone! There is a different feel in the air, the sky [...]
Where does a 2 year old get all that energy? I don’t understand it. Camille has enough energy for 3 adults! She never stops Even when she is tired, she just keeps going, although a bit crabby! She is still taking a nap and usually doesn’t complain too much about it. The other day, [...]
