After 5 days of fever, it has finally broken!!! The illness turned out to be a nasty ear infection, so Stevie is on his first (and hopefully only) round of antibiotics now. His cough still sounds terrible and sleep has been a complete joke. It’s rare to see this kid so miserable that he won’t…
Dear roofers, sorry I was THAT lady who came out and yelled at you for being too noisy. I know you just had a job to do, but 4 days of interrupted naps made for a very cranky household. Someone had to be blamed! And it might as well be you. Best, Crazy Mom. Sometimes…
We are here in the middle of some yucky sick days and there is really no better time to share with you guys my love & adoration for the PBS show Signing Time. Albeit annoying as hell, (but really, what kid shows aren’t?) I honestly look at it as something that has saved my life…
Last week, Stevie crossed (or maybe ran into) another hurdle. His feet are bad. We knew it from the moment he was born. They were going to be a problem. Last year he had leg braces but unfortunately, he refused to walk in them. At that time, we decided getting him to walk was the…
Went for a walk with my lovely neighbor/fellow mom the other day and offered her quite a bit of useless parenting advice – because we all love that – when all of a sudden, Stevie jumps/falls out of his stroller. Scraped his knee and everything. Didn’t I buckle him in? Well, no. Pass the trophy…
Here is a simple last minute tutorial for a cute pumpkin. This is what I decided to do this year. And by this year, I mean 10 minutes ago during Stevie’s nap. Playing up the ombrè trend. Our carved pumpkins always seem to fail, so paint is the way to go! Supplies: Pumpkin 3 paint…
I debated writing about this particular evaluation at all. I am ultra sensitive about the subject (totally cried like a baby at the eval) and I also don’t want Stevie to be pigeon-holed or labeled any certain way. I don’t want people think of him differently when they hear his name or see his pictures.…
Even though I’m a Disney dork (it’s one of my endearing qualities, right?!) I have never been to Mickey’s Halloween Party. I already spend one million dollars for an annual pass with parking, so I never felt like spending an extra $74 per person to trick-or-treat was really a smart financial decision. Seriously, I sound…
Underwood Family Farms. Cutest pumpkin patch ever. There is just one problem. It’s so dang cute, that it draws quite a crowd. I swear, everyone within 100 mile radius knows about this place and visits for Halloween time. This next year, I want to try and go off-season sometime to shop their fresh fruits and…
Only 2 loads of laundry this week (!!!) If one of them hadn’t been barf stuff, I probably would’ve felt like I won the lottery! Yesterday I was totally carb-loading. “Oh, for a major run?” you might think. Nope. Just because I was home all day. Not how I imagined I would spend a day at…
