Despite what some people may think, I am not social by nature. I am the typical introvert who gets worn out by being around crowds of people. And yet, I have this crazy, conflicted, overwhelming desire to BE SOCIAL. Since I started blogging in 2007, I have been meeting and developing relationships with more people…
Coming to Terms With My Son’s Bedwetting
Potty Trained! The day that I declared AJ fully potty trained was a happy one. Reese had just recently stopped wetting the bed at night just 2 months before, and since my first three kids had stayed dry at night as soon as they day-time trained, I figured that AJ would follow the majority. I’m…
Preparing for a Blogging Conference
In an incredible turn of events, I was able to arrange to go to Type A Parent Conference this year. And I am so far from being ready. There is always a ton to do before a trip, and I will inevitably forget to do or pack something before I leave. Times like these…

Mothers-to-be spend months preparing for the arrival of their little one, and then find, as they hold their new baby in the hospital,…
Spring Clean Your House
The cold weather may not be completely gone for the season, but there has been enough Spring-like sunshine, warm rain, and blossoming trees and flowers to serve as a sign that Spring is officially here. Like many others, I feel an urge to clean my house in the Spring. After months of having the windows…
Parenting Tips are Better in Bulk

I’ve been through breast and bottle feeding, dealing with picky eaters, potty training, preparing for school, entering the teen years….and I continue to have experiences every day that add to my storehouse of knowledge. But I don’t know everything. I…
