As pretty much anyone with a Facebook account knows, National Breastfeeding Week just wrapped up a couple of weeks ago. I meant to write a related post during that week, but I was too busy, probably because of all the breastfeeding. Anyway. This post (as you might be able to tell) is mostly about breastfeeding. […]
Potty Training #2
(Heh. See what I did there?? #2??) The other day I was making a 4 hour drive and got stuck in traffic, making it more like 5 awesome hours with two kids in the car. At the 4 hour mark, I called K and forced him to meet us halfway for dinner so that we could […]
A Theory on Supersonic Hearing
A couple weeks before I had J, I was in Target with every single other pregnant woman, and had wandered away from my cart in the baby clothes section. There was a mom with a newborn in the same area, whom I hadn’t really noticed in between the being miserable-pregnant and lamenting the lack of cute […]
Penises and Potty-training…
Fair warning: This is not a “Potty-Train your Toddler in 3 Days! With Pictures!” post. There are enough of those and, personally, I would like to punch those people square in the throat.

Is That a Black Eye?
I woke up this morning, rubbed my eyes, and immediately noticed that my left eye must have experienced a blow strong enough to create a massive contusion. I fell out of bed, found a mirror, and started going down the “is that a black eye” checklist. I know what you’re thinking: if I have to […]
The Most Accurate Picture Ever.
My little man is a handful. I was recently at the playground with a friend and her 5 week old, and almost started to complain about being tired all the time. You know, 5 minutes after she told me that her sweet girl had slept for a record 5 hours straight. I stopped myself just […]
Infants, Deployments, & Blogging.
A couple of months ago, I was back in my hometown and out to lunch with a bunch of family friends when the subject of my blog came up. I got some wonderful compliments from a few of them (the rest suddenly became interested with their cinnamon breadsticks and avoided eye contact, I’m not going […]
