Ten-Month Letter To My Little One

July 30, 2010

Dear Baby Girl, Soon I am going to have to start these letters with “Dear Little Girl” because you, my sweet thing?  You are leaving babyhood in the dust.  Every day you look and act more and more like a little kid and while sometimes, my heart swells so hard and so fast with pride [...]

Disconnected.

July 27, 2010

A few months ago when I started sharing the ins and outs and ups and downs of my mommyhood with the world, I found myself consumed by it.  Captivated.  Curious.  Hooked. I needed to be “connected” all. the. time.  I was constantly checking Twitter on my phone, subscribing to blog after blog in my Google [...]

Oh! The games we play!

July 26, 2010

There’s a new game around our house. One that gives me bruised knees and sore palms, but also squeals of delight followed by belly laughs from the little one.  She crawls away from me and looks back over her shoulder.  On my hands and knees, I chase her.  “I’m gonna get you.”  Her eyes gleam [...]

Good night, sleep tight

July 22, 2010

Most nights I put her to bed awake following her bottle and a book.  But once in a while, she drifts off while finishing her bottle and on those nights it’s hard for me to put her to bed right away.  Like last night.  Her eyes were closing as I was humming songs I learned [...]

When screwing up isn’t funny

July 19, 2010

I use this space of the internet to laugh about all the things I do to screw up my kid or fail at this parenting gig.  Like my knack for forgetting to pack bibs and burp cloths, thus prompting me to dig out half used napkins out of the pocket of the front seat, or [...]

It seems we’ve turned a parenting corner

July 15, 2010

Um…  guys.  This parenting thing gets HARDER as they get older?  Did none of you think to tell me that?  Oh, no.  You were all “you can do this” when she was itty bitty and had hours every evening where she fussed and cried and I walked miles up and down the halls of my [...]

Sometimes I call her Edna

July 13, 2010

My great-grandmother (God love her) was one of the nosiest old ladies you’d ever meet.   We would pull in the driveway and before we could even get out of the car, we’d hear her on the phone talking about the latest gossip among her circle of friends and in the “Valley” where she lived.  She’d [...]

Momma’s Munchies – Pizza Casserole

July 12, 2010

This recipe is one of my favorite dishes made by my grandmother.  It’s simple, it’s easy and it’s tasty.  And, eating it reminds me of dinner with her and my Pap on random Sunday evenings.  I’d be hard pressed to say whether I’d rather her make this or her “macaroni and the cheese.”  I normally [...]
