Raising Children to Weather the Storm
My baby girl has moved up from strawberries to cherries! It seems like a bit of an oxymoron, strawberries are bigger. But one things for sure, Princess is growing up fast. In cherries she has a lot more room to move around. Plus, she’ll be learning a lot more! She already knows how to count…
When you hear the words, “stage mom,” you probably think of those parents we see on “Toddlers & Tiaras.” This clip made me think of a stage mom I recently met. The only difference is this woman’s kids are not involved in pageants – they swim. Princess has been swimming for about eight months now,…

After months of debate and research, I finally gave in. Princess finally got her shot! As I mentioned in my previous post, the controversy surrounding the MMR vaccine has been retracted. …
It seems like it was just yesterday when my hubby and I welcomed our new baby girl into the world. Since then it’s been a whirlwind. We’ve enjoyed so many different milestones from crawling, walking, to first words, and so much more. In a matter of weeks we’ll be celebrating a new one. Potty training! Princess…
