Choosing a Potty for Your Toddler

Baby potties are a necessity, and something we probably don’t think about until it’s time to get one. Finding the right potty can make all the difference in the world when it is time to start training a toddler out of diapers. If you have the wrong potty, it could actually make matters much more […]

Tummy tuck or family vacation???

I’m having a serious dilemma that’s making me feel pretty darn guilty for even pondering my options. You see, I had been planning to have a tummy tuck in February or March of 2008. I had it all figured out time-wise and money-wise too and I reallyy, reallyyyyy, reallllllllllyyyyyyyy want one since my […]

The malls in Florida are pretty cool!

Okay, you’re right, I can’t really speak for the entire state of Florida BUT the mini mall by my mother-in-law’s place was pretty darn cool.
Where else can you see a listing of stores as diverse as a Bulk store, jewelery store, kids’ clothing store and one with a sign showing ” rhinoplasty Naples […]

Are boys more difficult to potty train?

Have you heard that rumour? The one that says that potty training boys is so much tougher than potty training girls. What are your thoughts on it?
Personally I found both of my kids to be pretty much the same. Though I think Jenn was a little bit easier than Matt, I don’t […]

I Keep Wanting To “Flip That House”

I have a confession… well maybe you already know about it but… I LOVE reality TV
From Survivor to game shows to the real estate shows like Flip That House. The real estate shows speak to me especially though. Must be the entrepreneur in me that thinks “man that looks like a […]

Don’t get me wrong though, I love to do […]

Time Out For A Boo-Boo Kiss

With Matt and Jenn being 8 and 6 now they are very understanding of my need to have work-time. As long as I explain ahead of time that Mommy needs to work for an hour, and then after that we will _____ together. I pick something that they’ll enjoy and they are […]

From Garden to Play Area

I’ve decided to cope with the loss of my garden by focusing on what that area can be instead. Of course I’m thinking “play area” like most moms would be ;).
I can put some stones down and maybe this year we can make building a fort/playhouse a summer activity. …and, maybe there will […]

Our Friends With The Invisible Kids

Does anyone else have friends with kids whose houses show absolutely no indication of their presence? Not only that but there furniture is all very expensive ($10,000 dining table), accessories breakable and even their lighting looks like it’s from Murray Feiss. Frankly their home always looks like they are trying to sell it. […]

When The Kidlets Are Sick

Isn’t it just like a mom to feel bad for her kids when they suffer in any way?  From the heartache of not being invited to a birthday party, to the pain of skinning their knee, I always wish I could take the pain for them and somehow spare them.
Given that then, it really must […]
