Judgment Day

It’s a trip, an offer, a special surprise that I am sure every mother ends up regretting afterwards. The Toys R Us trip. We have done a good job of having Phoenix conditioned to think he’s entitled to a special treat whenever we leave for a date or we go into any kind of store. [...]

A little bit

I’ll fold the pajames a little bit slower tonight. I’ll linger a little bit longer while I hug you good night. I’ll answer a little bit more when you call out for me. I’ll listen as you spin your tales a little bit more intensely. I’ll walk a little bit more slowly through the park [...]

Phoenix Vlogs- Episode 1

I spent more time then I should have yesterday watching the last two Twilight movies {New Moon & Eclipse} and did not do any writing. But I did really, really, really enjoy the Twilight movies. I’m not going to be reading the books or becoming a Twi-hard or anything, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. And [...]

Phoenix’s letter

Dear Mommy- It’s me Phoenix here. I know that Mothers Day is coming up soon (guess I better make sure Dad’s on top of everything huh?) so I figured now would be great time to tell you what I think about you. I know you really enjoy being a mom. Often I hear you say [...]

Teen Mom Castoff Conclusion

Since the last time I wrote about my trails of being a “new” mother I have still been sitting here waiting for 3 o’clock to arrive. Surprise. It has. But surprise. With it does not come two lovely teenage sisters ready to entertain & play with Phoenix. He’s like this never-ending tornado. It just spins & [...]

Boys will be Part 2

Boys will love you. Boys will break your heart. Boys will break your crystal vase from Tiffanys. Boys will smear mud all across your ivory couch. Boys will kill a stink bug & then chase you around the house with it. Boys will be hide a plastic snake in your bed for shits & giggles. [...]

16 things that are better than a tantrum

Nothing is worse then having to deal with a screaming strong willed 2 1/2 year old… or is there? “16 things that are better then a tantrum.” Also doing business as “16 things you’d rather do then have to sit and listen to a tantrum.” 1. A root canal 2. Kidney stones 3. Having your [...]

because i really am a good mother. i swear. part 2

I apologize in advance if my writing seems really incoherent & all kinds of grammatically incorrectness. You see I’m kind of triple tasking. I’m writing this. And I am watching the forever adorable & awesome Dumb Mom on What Not To Wear & dying for that blue dress. And trying to nurse my aching body [...]

When the two don’t agree

Shawn & I agree on everything. All the time. We never fight. We never do the silent treatment. It’s always “Yes Dear” and “You know best” 24/7. The only time this is ever broken is when we don’t agree on how to discipline Phoenix. And before you start in on “Well you should have discussed [...]
