Bedtime Battles
Lately, someone has been putting up a fight when it's time for bedtime. And that someone isn't me. On a normal night, we give Hudson a bath around 6:30, then give him his milk while we read books or watch Winnie the Pooh, and then pop him in his bed and say goodnight. He usually reads a book or plays in his crib for 20 minutes or so and ... Read More
Weekend Shenanigans
We had a nice little weekend over here. The kind that doesn't last long enough. But what weekend does? I vote three day weekends from here on out, don't you? My in-laws watched Hudson on Friday and he gave them a run for their money...and thankfully they gave it right back to him and tired out my busy boy with all the fun! I also decided ... Read More

Me: "whatever" "we don't throw spatulas at people" "kitties ... Read More
The Breastfeeding Diaries: Wildali from These are the Times
I am Wildali the mom of one 3 year old girl named Isabel and I blog over at These are the Times. I nursed Isabel until she was 14.5 months old. Since I am a working mama I also pumped at work until she was 12 months old. I was only on maternity leave for 8 weeks which meant that I spent a great deal of time pumping. In all honesty, while ...

These are the days….
These are the days that I don't want to ever forget. If I could bottle up Hudson right now I would. Freeze time. Keep him just like this. Because although the days are long, the years are short. Wasn't it just yesterday that he looked like this? Now he's a big boy that can wash his hands, brush his teeth, and help feed the dog. I just ... Read More
Toddler Lunch Ideas
“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Wet-Nap but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #showusyourmess http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV” Raise your hand if you have a picky toddler!
