An OCD mom raising a precocious toddler.
Today I dropped off Rey at daycare and there has been a new little girl in there the past few of times we have gone in. She is very quiet and shy and just observes all the other kids in the room holding her bottle. I saw her parents once on her first day of …
Two phrases that in the past week have entered my child’s vocabulary. How easily they start to pick things up at this age. Before bed Reagan and I always sing a couple of songs together while she is settling in. Some nights it’s the ABC’s, some nights it’s a variation of the Barney theme song …
I’m so excited for Reagan’s second birthday party. She turns two on September 10th and we are having a monkey themed party for her at the park. It’s amazing how much different this party is going to be from her first party. She didn’t really realize what was going on for her 1st birthday but …
Today is day two of potty training. For the past two months Reagan has showed interest in the potty and we even bought a couple of seats. One that goes on the toilet and a stand alone toddler potty. My sister had come for a visit about a month ago and she took her son …
Yesterday after my potty training meltdown and beating my body and mind into submission with Pilates and my 3 1/2 mile run I decided to regroup and remember why I loved being a mother. I needed to take Reagan for some much need girl time and I decided a girls day out was in store. …
Maybe it is just the age but the bargaining has definitely begun in this household. At what point did we completely lose control of the situation? You have everything together and then one day you get smacked upside the head with “I don’t want to!” Wait a minute, I’m the parent here. How does my …
So my darling friend Anna from Geek Can Be Chic and I teamed up and put together a challenge for ourselves and any other bloggers that want to join in! We are getting our weight loss on! Who’s with us? You know you want to! Anna and I wanted a little friendly competition amongst ourselves …
This past weekend while Brian and I were on a golf trip Reagan stayed with her grandmother. Some times I feel bad having them watch her for an extended period of time because Rey is a very active and energetic child and she is becoming her own little person. This translates into acting out when …
Now let’s not get too crazy. We will start small and work our way up. I for one, hate running! I don’t know what I’m thinking but I know that it’s a goal I want to set for myself. Going to the gym five days a week for the past six months has really amped …
Here it goes…Reagan and I are setting off on our own road trip today without Daddy! Someone help me now. If you see a woman on US Highway 50 bound for South Lake Tahoe today and she is balling her eyes out on the side of the road you’ll know you found me. With Brian …
Ok so first off I cheated last night because Reagan and I had a bunch of errands to run and we got home later than I anticipated. This is such an easy dish to make and even though Reagan doesn’t like to eat much of the bell pepper she inhales the meat! My cheat was …
This is one of the best chicken dishes ever and it is such a step up from ranch dressing for those that want a little bit more of a bite to their chicken! I’ve been making this recipe now for about six years and every time I do plates are cleaned and there are never …
