I need my sleep. Unlike my hubby who can get five to six hours of sleep without any obvious physical or emotional repercussions, I need at least eight hours, preferably nine! So for the bulk of our marriage, I’ve been going to bed around 10:00 p.m., while my hubby has been staying up at [...]

I honestly can’t remember the last time I slept through the night. I didn’t sleep well while I was pregnant with Turbo Tot, and now at 10 months old, she still isn’t sleeping through the night! While she is the main reason I’m not getting a decent night’s sleep, she’s not the only reason. [...]

This is the first in a two post series about what went wrong at Girl Scout camp this year! I couldn’t fit it all in one post!
Two of my girls are in Girl Scouts, but only Sweet Angel gets to sleep overnight at the annual Girl Scout Encampment weekend. This is not because Sweet Angel [...]

Super Pooper has her first cold. Her nose is oozing and she was up every couple hours last night. Which of course means, we were up every couple hours last night. Albeit in alternating shifts. Somewhere around 5:00 a.m., I noticed her diaper was bulging. Being the attentive mommy I am, I decided to fall [...]

I’m desperate. Super Pooper rarely sleeps in the swing anymore (gasp!), and wakes up when I try to transfer her to the crib after she’s fallen asleep breastfeeding. I know she’s fast asleep because she’s snoring on me, but she wakes up at the slightest movement. Whoever said “I slept like a baby,” doesn’t have [...]

I got some great feedback after my last post entitled Battery Induced Sleep when I shared that Super Pooper only napped well in the swing or bouncy seat. One mom said that she’d “been there, done that,” while one dad asked where he could get a bouncy seat in his size! A fellow mommy blogger [...]

Is it bad that Super Pooper only naps in the baby swing? Well, that’s not entirely true. She also naps in her bouncy seat and car seat. It’s not that I haven’t tried putting her down in her bassinette, cradle and crib (yes, she has three beds), it’s just that she doesn’t stay asleep there [...]

The kids are off school this week. So with that comes a lot of simultaneous conversations each day. You know the kind where one of your children starts talking to you and the other one insists on talking to you at the exact same moment. “Mom, you won’t believe what happened . . . Mommy! [...]

Ah!!!!! I’ve got so much to do today. I really need Super Pooper to take a long nap. Please! Please! Please! Sleep well and sleep long. No, I don’t have a big meeting and I’m not finding a cure for cancer; I have to get ready for my annual Easter egg hunt! While it may [...]
