I’m now a “Top Momma”! What does this mean? It means that I made the front page of TopMomma! And if you’d like, you can go to the front page of TopMomma and click on the eye – you know, the one that looks like this: The more people click, the longer I get to [...]
I remember what it was like before I became a parent when I heard tragic news about a child. I’d get sad, maybe a little angry, but the feelings would soon disappear. Generally, those stories didn’t have long-term effects on me. Since I had my daughter, every story of child abuse and exploitation I hear [...]
As we were driving home a couple of days ago, my 2.75 year old daughter made a wonderful observation. Here’s how the conversation went: A.: God did that! Mommy: God did what? A.: God painted the sky. Mommy: God painted the sky? A.: God painted the sky blue! I’m gonna call God! My daughter then [...]
I stated in my post yesterday that my daughter was becoming more consistent in asking to use the potty. Yesterday after we arrived home, my husband was playing with her, bouncing her on his leg. After a minute or so, he felt a warm sensation through her pull-up on his thigh and said, “Did you just pee on your daddy?” She [...]
This past Sunday morning as my daughter was finishing breakfast, she said, “I gotta go to the potty.” Success! She asked to go to the potty! I would so love to say that this is a regular occurrence. It’s not quite regular; nevertheless, the request is becoming more common. We’re making progress! Yet, it’s not that [...]
It’s that time again…the five posts I discovered this week that I enjoyed and added value to my life. Click and enjoy! Favorite #1 — The Law of Attraction is big these days, and I can definitely subscribe to some of the tenets. Nevertheless, I can’t help but to know that the proverb that the principle most [...]
It was time for my daughter to go night-night. I love to read to her, and she loves books, so when it’s getting past her bedtime, I tell her, “You can choose one book.” So she chose one of my favorites, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Because it’s one of my favorites, I said, “Good choice, A.!” She [...]
I think I’ve done pretty well not going overboard with worry when my 2 year, 8 month old daughter is not feeling well. Since she started daycare when she was 7 months old, she’s gotten colds, though their onset occurs less frequently. I now feel a bit more comfortable properly medicating her without calling the nurse’s line at the [...]
I have so much fun with my daughter (she’s 2 years and 8 months old as of Jan. 20th). While driving to school in the morning with her, I listen to the Steve Harvey Morning Show (it is the most hilarious show I have ever heard in my life!). This morning, as I was listening [...]
Like many families, my family of origin (with which I grew up) is dysfunctional. We have had our problems, but right now, my father is really going through. My mom passed away in July 2006 from lung cancer (which she dealt with for six years). My father didn’t treat her very well at all (I won’t get into the [...]
