So, I’m not one to toot my own horn, but even this one I can’t keep quiet. We’ve won an award! SheKnows.com held a contest for readers to vote on their favorite products (strollers, cribs, breast pumps) and we won second place in the Baby Clothes and Gear category! So thank you everyone who voted, [...]
Well, it’s our first official “snow day” here in suburban Philly. I am not used to these things…when I grew up we NEVER EVER had a snow day. The joke when I grew up was that the superintendent of schools would plug in his electric fry pan, turn it on to “high” and put it [...]
Anyone else with me here? I’m trying to get MeToo out the door. Now, to be fair, she’s got a cold (that Kennel Cough all kids who go to preschool tend to have this time of year) and is basically grumpy. But she usually likes it when we go to my gym- [...]
I have always struggled with my weight. Not in a serious way, but ever since I was 8 and my pediatrician (who was otherwise a kindly old man) suggested I always leave a bite or two left on my plate, I’ve worried about how much I’m eating, what I’m eating, what the number is on [...]

So, I was flipping through a magazine- doesn’t really matter which one- and came across a T-Mobile ad with a very athletic looking woman running and carrying a cell phone. The bold header reads “I take my family everywhere I run.” And goes on to read “I hear from them at least once a mile. [...]
Ok, so I’m not here to endorse any products, but I have to say the second best thing about living in the ‘burbs (after the mudroom) is that I have enough room to store kitchen-gadgety things. I really like to cook- always have. I remember my mother telling me that cooking is the most creative [...]

Ok, so, I’ve been through this potty-training thing before- Cecily was almost 4 (late for girls, but considering her physical delays, pretty impressive) by the time she was trained. We found sticker charts, M&Ms and patience worked best for her. And it did work- it only took a few weeks, and she went from pull-ups [...]
Miranda’s school has instituted a monthly “no trash lunch” where all lunches must be packed without an INCH of garbage. All Tupperware, metal forks, thermoses. Do you realize how DIFFICULT that is in this pre-packaged, 100 calorie pack, juice box society? Until we moved to the ‘burbs, I hadn’t given too much thought to how [...]

I never really talk about Cecily’s “issues” except to explain to people when they see her and her “funky” walk that she had a stroke in-utero and therefore has mobility and fine-motor problems.
