A few months ago my son stopped breastfeeding. I nursed him longer than any of my other kids, few months past 2 years old, and it was time. Around the same time we stopped giving him bottles as well. My last baby was a full fledged toddler and I was okay with that. Especially since… Continue reading potty training blues
Online Debates & Social Media
What's the point, right? Who in their right mind engages with internet trolls to prove a point, when you know on the other side the person you are typing against will never change their own heavily one-sided-and-bias minds? Why do we do this? Since I've deactivated my Facebook account I've not had to worry about… Continue reading Online Debates & Social Media
The Social Media Cleanse
Have you done it yet ? For years my interest in the Facebook has waned; I'd say I log on every few weeks. It's just not a pleasure to scroll on it any longer. Seeing photos and updates of my friends and family is nice and all, but as we all should know, all that… Continue reading The Social Media Cleanse
Diagnosis: Princess Power
It's happened. I swore to myself it wouldn't; the day she was born someone put a silly pink bow hat on my daughter's head, and it was then I vowed; I'm going to keep her away from the girly stuff. All the frilly, lacy, pink stuff that is having a little little girl just isn't… Continue reading Diagnosis: Princess Power

What sorts of behavior would you witness with rolled eyes and scoffing? *This goes out to the parents of multiple children out… Continue reading Playground Politics
Creeping of Christmas
I just stood in line 20 minutes for a cheap red plastic cup. It was free. It has a major corporate logo on the side, and if I use it after 2pm between now and January 7, 2019, I will receive fifty cents off every $5 "Holiday" drink. If you are in the know, you… Continue reading Creeping of Christmas
Struggles of the Student Mom
My blog is two years old! It's amazing to think about where I was two years ago, when I started this blog as an outlet and break up of time, to where I am today. Two years ago I was snuggling newborn baby H and deep into that newborn bliss. I can say without hesitation… Continue reading Struggles of the Student Mom
style
So- a million years ago I was a single girl living in NYC. I was sitting on the front porch of the house I lived in, surrounded by various airline roommates and I remember one male and I talking about style. I bemoaned my lack of personal style and he was very insistent that any clothing decision… Continue reading style

Once again I rededicate myself to writing more frequently. It does seem like I do this way too often; I know as a blog reader it's tiresome to hear from someone "This time I'll be different!" so I hope if you are out there reading this you'll feel patience for me and keep reading. When… Continue reading new house, new gym, new jersey
