Lion Sleeps Tonight…maybe
For his 3rd birthday, Jake received a new toddler bed as a gift from Grandma. We have been sharing a family bed for a while now, but now it is time to move on to the next step. Typically, our night-time routine goes like this: 9:00 pm brush teeth, say goodnight, and then 1 episode [...]

Being a Superwoman
I was listening to Rabbi Shmuley on the radio this morning. He was talking about women who try to be perfect (i.e. the “Superwoman”). His essential advice was to “stop trying to be perfect”. I took this very much to heart, especially considering…

Shopaholic’s guide to saving money online
I love to shop! Before I had kids, my shopping stamina was unsurpassed - I could literally shop all day long. After I had kids, my shopping stamina… well… remains untested. The problem is, my boys hate shopping. At least Tommy (my 6 year old) does. And shopping with a baby is not easy. What’s [...]

Food for a 1-Year-Old
Charlie is 1-year-old now. Mealtimes have become much more difficult. My little one is forming his own opinions and sharing them quite openly with me. If he sees a spoon filled with baby food moving toward his mouth, he swats it away with contempt (splattering it all over the place).
He only wants to eat what I’m eating.
“What’s that?” he asks, when…

Melissa and Doug toys
Shopping for toddler toys these days can be more stressful than fun. The toy aisles are stocked with all kinds of battery-operated, so-called educational playthings. One of my favorite line of toys are the “Melissa and Doug” toys. They are attractive to the little ones who can have hours of play without [...]

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
Why did I not hear about this until now?? Why??
I am a BIG fan of Neil Patrick Harris from his baby boy days on Clara’s Heart, to his Doogie Howser days, to his stint on Rent, to Harold and Kumar, to How I Met Your Mother.
So if you’re like me and you haven’t heard of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, here is a clip I found…

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
Having a curious child can at once be a blessing and a curse. When Tommy was 2 or 3, he was very much into animals of all sorts. I would sit him in my lap in front of the computer, and he would say “Mommy, show me giraffes!” and I would type in “giraffe” into [...]

Slydial.com - Directly Connected to Voicemail
Have you heard of www.slydial.com? It’s a service that allows you to dial a mobile phone number and go directly to the voicemail for the line with no concern that you will have to actually speak to the individual you are calling. Sly, huh? The website suggests it can be used in a variety of situations, including being short on time, avoiding…

Snail baby
Walking around La Jolla, we saw this cute little snail baby in the window of a knick knack store. It’s too bad I don’t have a spare $1,850 lying around.

Brosnan can’t be trusted to sing well, and Fleetwood Mac just can’t be trusted, period.
Antonio and I celebrated our anniversary on Sunday night. We dropped the kids off with the in-laws and went to the movies to see Mamma Mia. Not the most romantic choice of a movie, but Antonio knew I wanted to see it and he wanted to do something nice for me. How could I resist? [...]
