Continue reading →: “how do you do it?”Someone on my Facebook timeline recently shared a post with a Tina Fey quote and it got me thinking about a question I’ve been getting a lot lately. “How do you do it?” It startles me every time. Not because I don’t think my life is a little ridiculous right…

Continue reading →: happy 9 months, gbSo GB turned 9 months on December 23. I could barely manage to take this photo a full five days later–I have no idea how parents handle December/early January birthdays. GB totally judges me. Weight: 17.8-pounds, wearing size 3 diapers. Likes: eating! trying to stand up, rolling, being harassed by his sister,…

Continue reading →: merry christmas from oh botherIf you’ll recall from last year, Christmas Eve is almost the bigger holiday for me and my family, so I like to think of today as Christmas Eve Eve. Here’s this year’s Christmas card–and yes, it made it out by Christmas, thanks to Minted. Get this–they even do free envelope…

Continue reading →: obligatory santa photosContinuing to check off the Holiday-Good-Parent list, I took the kiddos to visit Santa Claus this past weekend. Local folks: for future reference, Brown’s Orchard has a great Santa, it’s free and you can take your own camera. Holden was surprisingly well-behaved and GB was surprisingly non “strange” (people in…

Continue reading →: still not letting it go: we went to a “Frozen” tea partyIn my never-ending quest to assuage my working mom guilt and spend some fun time with Holden, I bought us tickets to attend a “Frozen”-themed tea party by a local company called The Enchanted Teapot. If you’ll recall from our “Frozen” On Ice almost-misadventure, my attempts don’t always go according…

Continue reading →: ohmygod I have to send christmas cardsSo… I just realized that it’s getting to be mid-December soon and I haven’t thought about Christmas cards until this very moment. In our Pinterest-loving, Facebook-best-parent-competition society, non-photo Christmas cards won’t do. And iPhone photos converted into cards printed out at Walgreens won’t do. So not only do I have…

Continue reading →: holidays, amirite?So last week I was all prepared to write a really positive, fun post about how well Holden’s potty training has been going and how much fun we’re having getting ready for the holidays. And then all hell broke loose. Why yes, that is my just-decorated Christmas tree after the…

Continue reading →: happy 8 months, GBLook at me: I’m actually posting on the date! GB is 8 months today. (and yes, that is a bite mark in his tie sticker. All will be revealed). Weight: An 16.9-pound turkey, wearing size 3 diapers. Likes: being held, eating, being “hugged” by his sister, flying in the air, being tickled,…

Continue reading →: potty training weekendI’m gonna be honest: the odds were against us this Potty Training Weekend. I woke up Saturday with absolutely no voice whatsoever. GB woke up with pinkeye. But Holden woke up ready for “no more diapers!” and to take on this potty training weekend I had been hyping up for…

Continue reading →: potty training: it’s going downThe time has come. I have stalled long enough. Potty Training Weekend is this weekend. It’s going to be a naked-toddler-butt-setting-a-timer-and-sitting-on-the-potty-every-15-minutes-getting-a-sticker-doing-a-dance pee and poop extravaganza. Hopefully we all make it out alive. If you recall, we had a few practice potty days several months ago, but the timing was not right……
