What is the best way to find other moms and dads of four month old babies to follow on tumblr?
for me i used to just go to the Parenting part of the Tumblr Directory but that no longer exists and i find the Exploer section to be worthless (maybe it’s because i don’t know how to use it, someone wanna school me on it?) i pretty much just look at other mom Tumblrs i...

“Do Not Climb On Steal!”
– A sign on the shelving in WalMart. My expectations for this store are set pretty low already so it’s always a little sad when they disappoint me

on Tumblr you often end up following many of your peers. sometimes the age gaps are greater than you think but, still, you can relate. most of the time you’re following people who are in the same place in their life as you, for example i follow many “new mom” Tumblrs and i know there are some that follow me as well.
the trouble with this is that when you’re going through...

“oh boy, motherhood is gonna be rough for you”
– - my husband after i commented in a sad and whiney tone about how big my baby looks in his swing compared to just a few weeks ago
and he’s right. i saw a girl in Target with a baby carrier and i peeked at the wee one in it only to find out she was a mere 10 days old. i felt like my kid was in...

i need your help/opinions as young professionals...
you see the church i go to*, the first one i attended when i moved here 9 years ago, the one i was married in, and the one my son will be baptized in this weekend, is in danger of having to close it’s doors.
as long as i’ve been there it’s only had an elderly congregation therefore it’s also a rapidly shrinking congregation. it’s to the point where non-communion...

can someone tell me at exactly what point we stopped using more than two letter abbreviations for states?
i just typed “Boston, Mass.” and immediately felt ancient

I’m pretty sure this is the end of Tumblr as we know it. Its been officially infiltrated with porn spam.

almost 4 months of life
it’s weird, if i count by weeks he’s 16 weeks and yet his 4 month birthday isn’t for another almost 2 weeks. so right now when people ask “how old is he?” i say “almost 4 months”. it gets the job done.
so anyway, at almost 4 months here are the things we use on a daily basis (leaps from where we were at 3 weeks)
our Bumbo (ours is yellow but apparently...

“jen, you were so relaxed in your pregnancy and your labor and delivery...”
– a friend recently made this comment to me and she’s right. it’s not AT ALL the way anyone (especially me) thought i’d go through any of this. i’m anal retentive to the core and if i’m not in control of something odds are i don’t wanna do it. in full disclosure the...

things i've learned as a suburban mom
there are not nearly enough options with drive-thru windows.
when i look in my full size SUV’s rearview mirror and see my baby is snoozing in his carseat, and knowing the act of stopping the car has a 50% of chance of waking him up, all i want to do is go through a drive thru and grab some food that i can eat while i sit in the car. it is 3pm afterall and i could really use some lunch.
but...

the only thing that makes me rage me more than driving away from a drive-thru window and finding out they didn’t give me napkins is finding out they didn’t give me a damn straw!

a letter
dear makers of baby clothes,
please stop writing stupid shit on all the little boy clothes. it’s really frustrating that i have to walk through all the really cute baby girl stuff in all adorable patterns and prints to get to the little boy stuff that’s all in shade of blue and brown. then when i finally see something from the back that looks cute and not offensive i find out...

favorite part of our CT trip
hitting the garage door opener button as we drove down the street returning to our home only to watch the door go down. Down.
that’s right folks, for 4 days while we were out of state our garage door was sitting wide open and the door from the garage to the house is something we never (used to) lock.
since i watch too much Law & Order i made husband arm up and check every crevice of...

i check the price tags on everything when i’m shopping
sometimes it’s just out of curiosity to see what they’re going for
sometimes it’s because i’m thinking about buying it
but there are certain stores where i don’t touch the tags, i try to get close to the item and while i’m acting like i’m just giving it the once over to see if it’s my...

did you ever look at your sibling’s choices and wonder “how were we raised in the same house?!”
(enough with the foolery Tumblr, don’t ever delete my text again)

they say you marry your father, whether you realize it or not
i really thought i’d broke the mold on this
but then i came home to our almost empty dish detergent bottle that had been filled with water to create a very watered down solution rather than just opening the new bottle.
i had no clue other people did this, i thought it was just my dad. apparently it’s my dad and my...

so now you know
my dermatologist gave me a bag full of samples of a fancy cream to fix my face that’s been destroyed since pregnancy
what she didn’t give me were any of the little instruction books that tell you what NOT to do with this cream
apparently you’re not supposed to use salicylic acid products in combination with it
i found this out the hard way (and confirmed it with the internets) and am now...

I’ve been away from my baby before - Mom-Mom watched him when we visited a friend’s new arrival when he was just 2 weeks and then husband and I went to a wedding when he was 4wks and he stayed with Grandma
but in 13 1/2 weeks I’ve never been alone. that realization struck me especially hard when husband walked out the door with baby on Sunday because I wanted to stat home and get stuff done. I...
