Nursing Mom Goes To Dentist

I had an old filling go bad over the 3 day weekend, so instead of enjoying the Monday holiday with Don and our son, I made a fun trip to the dentist.  UGH!!! They were able to get me in on short notice Monday morning, and I’m thankful for that.  However, I didn’t have time … Continue reading »

Kindermusik

First music lessons today. I’ve been hesitant at signing us up for “lessons” and activities because I really do feel like kids are over-scheduled these days.  There are rigid schedules for napping, sleeping, feeding, playing, and if you aren’t following one SOMEONE will recommend a book or expert that says you should.  I used to … Continue reading »

Childproofing to the Next Level

In an effort to increase the play area of our living room and begin childproofing, Don has installed a built-in entertainment center. I’ll be honest, when he said he was going to build it himself I was NERVOUS!  I wasn’t given a picture, plan or drawing of this project — just a description of a … Continue reading »
