The Preschool Bully

In life, we all encounter bullies at some point. Whether they’re physical or emotional, it happens. I was always shy and quiet in school which I’m sure made me an easier target when I was little. I had a girl knock my toys over in preschool and then in elementary school I was once choked …

I Let My 4 Year Old Watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer

He wore me down. After begging and begging and begging...okay. There wasn't *too* much begging. After all, how much begging is really needed when your child pleads to watch your favorite show with you? In case you don't know this about me, I am a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's been my …

When Preschool Doesn’t Go as Planned…

I came home from Nashville to find we were taking Bailey out of his current preschool. We were contemplating it for a while but everything really took a turn while I was away. About one month ago, we took Bailey on a class playdate at the park. This was run by another parent, not the …

Toddler’s First Day of Preschool

It's been over a year since I wrote a blog on here. It's amazing how fast time moves by. I'm not even sure what I'm planning to write about right now. Part of that may be because I'm sick with a cold and have brain fog, but I think part of it is that there …

Our One Year Old’s First Trip to Disneyland

Before taking our one year old, Bailey, to Disneyland, I did A LOT of research. I read every blog post and every forum. Stories of other parents who took their one years old and stories of other parents who said that you should never take your child until they're at least three or even five! …

I’m a Helmet Baby Mom!

It was ten weeks ago when we found out our little boy would have to be fitted for a helmet. In the months of physical therapy leading up to that decision, I kept thinking to myself, "His head will round out. He won't need a helmet. He'll be fine." Then the day came that his …
