Kid Time

My kids are so lucky.  They got a step-father who loves them very much.  He never had kids, nor did he want them.  Actually, we found he just didn’t like dirty diapers and crying continually.  He came when my youngest was 5, and lo and behold, my new husband was also that same mental age [...]

Celebrity Baby Names Vs. the South

Some of the names celebrities are naming their kids are terrible.  How would you like to grow up as Banjo Patrick (Rachel Griffin) or Bronx Mowgli (Ashlee Simpson).   More than a couple have named their child Bandit.
Course I don’t have much right to talk.  We have some pretty strange name in the south.  My grandmother [...]

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.

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 [...]

Baby Clothes

I kinda stay out of politics.  I feel I can do something on the local level, but presidential?  No way.  Busch proved that with Florida.  I don’t think choosing between “the lesser of two evils” even makes sense.  I’ll write in somebody, like my cat, before I vote for an incompetent dishonest person to run [...]

Puppies & Babies

I know it gets boring to keep going back to the puppy – but living with her it’s hard not to notice her.  You know how some babies, especially newborns, seem to have a crazy time about 3am.  This puppy does the same thing.  Every night at 3am it’s road race time and since most [...]

Spice up a shower

Between the ages of 25 and 35, women go to countless baby showers. At each shower, they pat the pregnant friend’s belly, “ooh” and “ahh” over cute blue or pink gifts, and eat cake – the same old deal every time. Before you buy another baby-wipe warmer or cloth duck, consider going a different direction [...]

baby onesies

We’re here once again trying to find out what to do with ourselves after the baby comes.  All our hair falls out, a little (uh hu!) extra weight, stretch marks and huge boobs.  Well considering what we were before.  A step up is a step up, I think all our husbands will agree.
I’m thinking about adding [...]
