Looks like spring is going to show up in Kansas City after all (I’ve had my doubts). I’ve seen the sun and a few blades of green grass. Which means I’d better stock up on my Kleenex now. No, not for the... - read more

What I've learned from my first year as a mommy:
This first year in the mother-hood has been chock-full of learning experiences. Here are but a few of the things I've learned in my first year: 1) Babies can poop an astronomical amount without losing... - read more

starting solids
OK so my son is 10 months old, and at our 9 month checkup the doc said to "pitch all the baby food" because he was NOT interested at all in anything from a jar. So he did a couple of weeks of eating little... - read more

The Game: A study in sleep deprivation
On Saturday night, I awoke to the sound of a long, low wail. My first thought: Crap. The baby’s awake. Second thought: Um, wait a minute. We don’t have a baby. No... - read more

Thank goodness for parenting magazines or My weekend with Croup
DH and I woke up at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday morning to what sounded like a seal barking in Niko’s crib. As soon as I heard that tell-tale cough, I knew what it was…. Croup. I am obsessed with parenting... - read moremyzboys on Mar 8 2010 - 10:45:00 AM - 55 views

Soap Box II-The Devil Dances in the Details
There was no warning. It came in the mail in a plain inconspicuous envelope like all of the others. I was anticipating it actually. My son had just had another routine IVIG infusion for his ITP two weeks prior to its... - read more

Looks like spring is going to show up in Kansas City after all (I’ve had my doubts). I’ve seen the sun and a few blades of green grass. Which means I’d better stock up on my Kleenex now. No, not for the allergies. For the end-of-the-school-year music programs and classroom plays and (sniffle) awards ceremonies. For someone who’s not ordinarily a big crier, I sure turn into a blubbering baby... - read more

On Saturday night, I awoke to the sound of a long, low wail. My first thought: Crap. The baby’s awake. Second thought: Um, wait a minute. We don’t have a baby. No baby, but we do have a senile cat. He wakes up most nights around 3 a.m., probably because he has to use the litter box – in cat years, he’s about 75, after all. He’s... - read more

There's something about introducing my daughters to treasures of my childhood. This weekend I brought home from the library season two of Charlie's Angels . It was one of my fave prime-time shows as a young impressionable girl. I remember playing Angels at recess. (Much better than this vampire play acting my daughter does nowadays! If I have to hear she's allergic to garlic ONE MORE TIME!) I had... - read more

DH and I woke up at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday morning to what sounded like a seal barking in Niko’s crib. As soon as I heard that tell-tale cough, I knew what it was…. Croup.

For 2 1/2 months now, the fairly large brown box has sat in our living room, next to the phone and at the foot of the stairs. I see it in the morning when I go turn on The Today Show and step over it every time the phone rings. Heck, I see it about every minute I'm in the house. See, I put in there on Dec. 18 for a reason. So I would make sure I would mail it on time. Had to get it to the post office by Dec. 20... - read more

Once upon a time, there was a tiny fairy named Bianca. Bianca lived in the magical land of fairies, surrounded by her fairy family and friends. She had completed the fairy academy, graduated from Fairy U with a degree in drama (as if fairies need any help being dramatic) and was ready to set out into fairy kingdom on her own. Bianca had located a charming knothole in a towering, historic oak tree, close to the... - read more

I Broke The Dog - 495 views
File this under “ Never Say Never” Brian and I are not really dog people. Ok, Brian is entirely Anti-Pet. I am pretty neutral on it, so I defer to his opposition on this one. We don’t have pets so we skipped the chapters on care, feeding and emotions in regard to pets in the Parenting Manual that came with our kids. ( Ok, really, it didn’t. You weren‘t cheated) We didn’t foresee... - read more

Sing sweet Norah, sing. - 395 views
I am one of the lucky ones who gets to attend the sold-out Norah Jones concert Saturday night at The Midland. I ran in 20-degree weather without a coat from The Star building to the P&L just to make sure I got tickets because there were only a few left and I wanted my piece of Norah. I'm going with one of my best friends, my mom. The last concert I went to with her was Barry Manilow ... not really my... - read more

Atheists with an Attitude…thank you - 573 views
Thank you Texas atheists for your example of free speech that has absolutely no value—except to people with a faith. A college atheist group is offering students pornography in exchange for Bibles and other religious books. In a campaign called, “Smut for Smut,” the Atheist Agenda at the University of Texas San Antonio, these students are comparing pornography to the Bible. ... - read more

Livin' the dream - 457 views
Kids are loaded with questions. And they're willing to ask things that adults are too polite (or too boring) to ask. That's one of the reasons I think kids are so cool. I envy their insatiable thirst for being nosy and the naive charm that allows them to get away with it. When I visit elementary schools around the country, I always look forward to the barrage of questions from curious little minds. Is that... - read more

Will Conversation Be a Lost Art? Text Me Your Answer - 537 views
Watching traditional media shrink, I’ve often wondered if we’re creating a generation of non-readers. Will our children (who are used to going to the internet for darn near everything) lose their appreciation for the written word? I’ve often thought that they may not need to read at all. Watching Rosie climb into bed at night, my fears have been calmed. In the lamplight of her room, she curls up... - read more
