have you ever been really excited about an item you purchased on a deal/blowout site and then it shows up on your doorstep and they shipped you the wrong thing? as in the bag that the item came in had the right description but the item in the bag was something completely different?
ugh, i’m trying to be a big girl and not cry about it. i called and of course they’re out of stock on...

i'm a pinterester now, but
apparently i don’t actually know how to use it.
in my profile it gives me the option to turn off Facebook updating, i click OFF and then Save but next time i go into my profile it’s back on. what am i doing wrong?
it automatically made me follow anyone on my FB that has a Pinterest account. i went through and unfollowed a bunch of them but then sometimes they just appear on my list...

the terror is all mine
after mentioning the occurences to his Doctor i’ve finally realized that my baby has night terrors. they’re not every night, in fact they’re very infrequent (maybe 1-3x month) but it’s happened enough for me to take note.
i’ve read a good deal on it by now but, ugh, it’s still tough. it’s not every night and like the studies show it mostly happens when he...

we’ve been good about planning out each week’s meals so we can do one grocery shopping trip for the week instead of buying-to-need as husband is a fan of but gives me hives
this week it’s pretty much been mac n cheese w. hotdogs, grilled cheese, chef boyardee and cereal for dinner — this is what happens when i’m left to fend for myself
but i’ve been scouring...

i’ve been operating as a single mom while husband has been in Vegas all week and good lord is it tough. i mean it’s not all that different because husband leaves before we get up and comes home right before baby bedtime but still, i’m used to getting a break each day. even if it is just a little one.
sure i’ve had time to break out the much neglected Wii after the baby...

de-stink the diapers day is a pain
it means that ALL the cloth diapers are in the wash for over 5 hours. yes, FIVE PLUS HOURS!
rinse & drain - 24min soak in FunkRock - 71min wash cold, no soap - 41min wash hot/cold, with detergent + extra rinse - 58min dry inserts on medium - 60min add shells on just air - 60min
oh yah, plus another half hour restuffing all the dry diapers. fun.
it should also be noted that during this time...

Teen Mom questions
how awkward for those Teen Mom camera guys. do you think they had to jump on the bed to avoid getting kicked in the tussle or do they stay close-in to get the money shot?
if you took all of Jenelle’s “LEAVE ME ALOOONE!” shouts from all the season do we think it would total a video over 5 minutes?
has she trademarked the phrase yet?
and why do they continue to caption it...

question for BR Luxe card holders
do you ever actually hear about Triple Point Days?
i’m pretty sure i’ve NEVER been notified of these yet they say that they have them every year. purely by accident i was shopping one day and they informed that it was a triple point day. i may have shed a tear - i happened to be at the Factory Outlet store so it couldn’t have been better
but what i want to know is, am i just...

i know that checking the status of a package multiple times in a day will not actually make it get here faster
but i don’t care.

do you ever put on your biggest underwear and instantly wonder why you pretend to like anything else?

warning: this is a rambling post. so there's that.
reminder to myself what having a baby around is REALLY like for when i ponder having more
because seriously, you get so far into this raising a child thing and it’s insane how much you forget about what it was like 3 months ago, and even at 9 1/2 months i can barely remember the reality of having a newborn. so this is for me, if i ever get the hankering for another baby, to remind me...

moms take note
i love the Oxo Tot feeding products! i find them to be really baby friendly and not visibly offensive to adults - a rare combination in the world of baby stuff.
you can often find these goodies at TJ Maxx and the family stores
and for the Richmond Moms the SPump Hoomegoods has a good assortment of items right now, only a buck or two cheaper than everywhere else but it adds up. they also have...

you know that point when your baby’s been napping for longer than normal and your weighing either checking in on them to make sure they’re alive or not checking because opening the door could possibly wake him so you just hold the monitor up to your ear for a minute until you swear you can hear breathing?
yah… is it obvious which one i choose? also, i got a 2hr nap already and...

it's supposed to be the other way around, baby
just caught the baby sitting under a chair, feeding the dog his crackers and watching for what falls out of the dog’s mouth and trying to eat those bits
awesome.

- weekly playdates with the best baby playgroup ever created - storytime at the library: we aim for 3x a month - watching a friend’s baby (or should i just call him “my baby...

what i've learned in motherhood
you need friends - specifically mom friends.
that’s not to say that you can’t have friends that aren’t also moms but you’ll find there are plenty of times you need to turn to other moms for something because friends without babies won’t have an answer (or care). your parents don’t count because what was acceptable when they were raising you is no longer the...

so here's the thing
since we’re doing the whole pronounciation arrogance thing (the es as ex drives me nuts) I just need to put this term misuse out there before I explode —
it’s not hibachi
it’s teppanyaki.
a hibachi is a little grill, not even the kind used at most Japanese food restaurants. teppanyaki is the style of cooking/food that you’re eating when you’re around a...
