Mission: Exhaustion

After the long day we had yesterday without a nap, I woke up with one goal today…to wear my kid out to the point of exhaustion! Since we live in Orlando, visiting the Magic Kingdom in almost 100 degree weather seemed like a fun way to do it! We arrived when the park opened and [...]

Make It Stop!

Recently I blogged about purchasing jean diapers and today I am begging diaper companies to stop trying to make diapers look cool. As a mom, all I care about is that my child is dry! Instead, I have had a week of leaking, sagging diapers! No joke, even my husband commented on how many diapers [...]

Countertop Thief

When my golden retriever was a puppy, I always worried about her jumping up on my countertops and pulling food down. Thankfully, that never happened! Now, my son on the other hand, well that’s a whole different story! He is constantly standing on his tippy toes and grabbing whatever is within reach. I have to [...]
