Two Stupid Dogs

I’ve talked a lot about the new puppy.  But I have failed to tell you about our “regular” dog.  A little boy asked us to watch her for a few hours a couple of years ago and he just never came back.  So now I have 2 doge and five cats – the cats can [...]

Sewing

Did you mom ever sew?  Mine sewed all our baby clothing and then through most of our teens.  I used to hate it.  Then I got to buy something off the rack!! yeah!!  It was horrible.  I had no idea I had a personal custom tailor at home.  Of course by then she went to [...]

Flub, I know

I’m supposed to make each blog varied – but I did do two jets almost in a row – it’s just that winter really does freak me out.  I love shorts, tank tops – the less the better.
Wool belongs on lambs, not humans or baby clothes.

Fly Fly away

No, no, it can’t be fall.  All ya’ll (yeah I said ya’ll) in the east love the fall.  You may have beautiful leaves but the best we can hope for is Indian Summer.  Don’t get me wrong, believe it or not, winter in Denver is pretty mild;  we are NOT the mountains, and suprising, we are [...]

Momma Guru

Did you ever notice once you had a baby or two they all sound the same.  You can tell if they’re mad, hungry, tired or whatever.  They may have different voices, but they all make the same noise.
I also noticed after my boys were toddlers and older I would hear a baby crying, say in [...]

Bad Taste in Clothes

My second son began dressing himself at 18 months old.  He refused to wear anything any one else picked out.  I’d go out and buy all these cool baby clothes and he’d put on the worst stuff he could find.
The topper was a pair of real cowboy boots that were black with bright red tips.  [...]

Teens

My youngest didn’t talk until he was 3.  His first word was mamma.  Then it changed to mom  when I got him some cool baby clothes that said mom.  Now all of a sudden, at 15,  he’s saying mamma again and I love you all the time (yes I am lucky).  Of course, my thought [...]

up up and away

This is a little redundant, but wouldn’t you like to get away for a while?  I mean really.  Washing diapers (some of us), baby tees, sockies, hats, onesies – doesn’t it seem like your baby wears about 8 outfits/day.  What do women do when they have to go to a laundromat, other than get prescriptions [...]

Puppy Update

Our terrorizing terrorist, Jazmine (puppy) has now learned to jump the fence, knock over the trash can and jump into the cars if the windows are open.
We don’t even want to go into what she does in the car – and then takes a nap in the back seat.  Newborns are easier.  You change their [...]

baby shirts

I had my first baby at 18.  You gotta remember 50 years ago in the south, by 17 you were married, forgot about school and were chained to the stove.  The good news was having a baby at that age is amazingly easy.   I went through 2 whole hours of labor and my stomach was actually concave [...]
