So apparently Shane is smarter than we thought


Hmmm, So I go to pick him up at daycare yesterday and he is bouncing away in his bouncy. This would be the same bouncy that he flipped over and fell out of. Gotta love daycare. Anyways, he was bouncing like I have never seen a kid bounce before. So much that it was making me sick. Veronice tells me that he bounces like that all the time when he's drinking his bottle. Umm, what? You don't hold him? You sit next to him and hold his bottle while he bounces like a circus freak? Apparently he holds his own bottle. He doesn't do that at home. Great, he has become my husband at a much earlier age than I had previously anticipated. Why do for yourself what you know Mommy will do for you anyways? This is the school of thought that my husband has been raised on :) So, I go to feed Shane his bottle last night and I just let go, and to my surprise, he holds it. And does just fine I might add, like he's been doing it for years. Now maybe if I stop cleaning the house.....

It doesn’t get easier, it gets different.

I’m a mom.      A happy mom, a sad mom, a confused and lost mom, a day late and a dollar short mom.   I feel all the feels, all the time. My kids were young when I called my middle sister crying.   This is my ‘make it all better’ sister.   Motherhood was kicking my ass, double time.   Her kids at the time were teenagers. As always, she listened to me fall apart, and when I was done she calmly said ‘listen pal, it doesn’t get easier, it gets different’.   What the hell?   Hello! I am calling for encouragement, not this shit.   If I wanted advice with no value I’d go ask one of my friends who doesn’t have kids, or the dog.   I don’t remember what happened next, but I’m pretty predictable.   I’m guessing I called my oldest sister, to talk about the weather and working into the convo, super casually, I would mention the advice I had just been given.   She in turn would have said ‘we’ve all been there Heidi Linds...

*Come Together*

I read an article recently on being a mom.  About how all moms are the same.  We are all incredibly blessed to have been given the chance to love another human so deeply it hurts.  There is nothing that can prepare you for being a mom.  The connection you feel towards your child.  It is unexpected, joyous, overwhelming.  Being a mother is the hardest job in the world.  It doesn't matter what kind of mom you are.  Whether you gave birth to your children, or you adopted.  Moms who have sick babies or healthy babies.  Moms who are pregnant with their first or moms who recently lost a baby.  Moms of children with differences.  Older moms and teenage moms.  Your status, your social standing, your religion.  None of it matters.  Moms are moms all across the world.  So why do we hate each other?  Shocked that I said that?  We all do it.  In different ways. I remember coming back to work from matern...

Why Social Media Is Ruining Your Life

I remember when I first joined Facebook.  It was fascinating to me.  I could reconnect with old friends, find long lost family, check in and see how everyone is enjoying their lives.  I loved it.  For a really long time.  It felt nice to be able to share everything with everyone.  In fact, there was a time when I couldn't understand why some people still didn't have Facebook.  Then overnight everyone had a Facebook.  Literally, everyone.  Your mom, your aunt, your neighbor, your daycare provider,  your doctor, your coworker.  Everyone could see your shit.  And worse, you saw theirs.  Which like I said, was cute, at first.  Then, over time, I started to notice how unhappy social media was making me. But, I couldn't stay away.  It's like high school all over again.  I didn't want to be the one left out. So for your pleasure, here is a list of 10 reasons why social sites are ruining your life: 1.  You...
