I make my own baby food because it's fun and because I'm happy to give my child food that is preservative-free and fresh. I'm able to do it because my husband is really helpful. I'm sure a lot of moms feel very overwhelmed and have husbands who aren't

Hello! I've been off work for two days due to the snow (although it's not like I'm so lucky or anything, I actually had to use my vacation time - they weren't paid days off) so I haven't posted anything lately. And now I have a ton of catching up to do

Boston would not go to sleep last night. He was fighting it even though he was so clearly exhausted. Since he's six months today (woo hoo!) Chris decided it's time to try crying it out. I used to be supportive of this method. But nothing can prepare you

Because Chris often does the dishes now while I breastfeed. Because he washed my Starbucks travel mug and lid last. Because when he washed it, he must not have rinsed it well. Because when I got Starbucks this morning and drank from the mug, it tasted

1. That my friends is the sound of THE STEELERS headed to the SUPER BOWL! Yay Steelers! My husband was so mad (he hates the Steelers) that he wouldn't even acknowledge that I was super thrilled and he totally ruined the moment for me saying things like

Things move slowly. It takes time for some things to happen, to change, to improve. Last night was a huge moment for both my husband and for our relationship. He asked for my help. This is significant because he rarely needs or wants my help. And I often

I wrote this blog post in October of 2007, about the things I wouldn't like hearing when I was pregnant: http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/blogs/edmo/archive/2007/10/11/the-things-i-won-t-like-hearing.aspx I thought about it the other day, so I decided

The contract I work on just took a 2 million dollar government budget cut. I'm out as of July/August. Wow, before I would have been thrilled - I'd see it as an opportunity to find something better, do what I really want to be doing, explore other options.

Boston has been a fan of football since his birth. Shoot, in the delivery room the movie playing during his arrival was Any Given Sunday. He loves watching the games on TV with his daddy. When he was 3 weeks old, his dad even took him to BW3 to catch

If I don't let some of the things my husband has done go, I'm gonna flipping kill him. 1. I told Chris the only thing I wanted when I delivered Boston was a fruit bouquet delivered to my hospital room. We had a scheduled induction so it's not like he

I can't believe I brought a child into this world, and that I plan to have more. Has anyone seen the movie Idiocracy ? OH MY GOD! It's a comedy but I consider it a horror movie...it's like watching a terrifying version of the world my children's children's

Thanks for the comments on how I look. I am still 12 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight, and I'm storing it all in my thighs, belly, and back (which a good outfit can mask). However, I'm not worrying about it until I'm done breastfeeding. I have tried

Boston LOVES his new play center, which Chris coined "The PAC" (for Physical Activity Center). Do you see the way he's reaching for more presents? My son is already so materialistic! He wanted more and more and more. When he opened a present (with my

Chris and I both made sure we were off work from New Year's Day to Sunday, and it was the best thing we've done for our family. Friday was supposed to be an "Edmo Day of Family Fun" but those plans were busted with a sudden visit to the pediatrician that
