Awhile back I asked what issues were important to you in regards to your children for an interview I was going to do with a pediatrician. Well, it seemed that many of you wanted to know about sleep. More specifically how to get kids to sleep through the night and how to get them to… Continue Reading

The Annoyed Cool Kid
I’m a cool kid. Or at least Eve from Beautiful Spit Up thinks so. I’m also tired, which is partly caused by something annoying. So I’ve combined my coolness and my tiredness to create a guest post for her I’m a cool kid feature. Check me out over at Beautiful Spit Up to find out… Continue Reading
VlogTalk: If I Didn’t Blog
(Sorry about the sound. This was the first time I’ve had the husband do the recording and clearly we have some issues to work on). I might be reconsidering blogging after making this video and seeing all the things I could be doing instead. Prompt: What would you do with your days if you didn’t blog… Continue Reading
Maintaining Sleep Deprivation
I’m pretty sure I have it in all my social media bios that I’m sleep deprived (if you find a place where it’s missing let me know so I can change it please). What you don’t know is that it takes a lot of work to maintain my status as a sleep deprived mother. But… Continue Reading
My War Story

When you have problems sleeping like I do and find that it is hard to get out of the bed in the mornings and get ready, my advice is to put on a hat rather than stress about doing your hair. (The crazy monkey is wearing a knitted grape hat and the little monster is… Continue Reading
My Sleep Problem
I have not been sleeping much at night lately. For the past 2 weeks I have been up late each night, and by late I mean until 2 or 3 in the morning. My sleep deprivation is not for lack of trying. I lay down in bed usually around 11:00 or 11:30 and turn on… Continue Reading
