My Funny Valentine Gets Even … Funnier (Part II)

(Part I is here)

… and at first it felt something like denial or escape. Or a little bit of insanity. Of course it mostly felt like some serious martyrdom. “I’m not going to let THAT GUY bully me around while I sit here and soften. I mean, this is a little pacificistic, don’t you . . . → Read More: My Funny Valentine Gets Even … Funnier (Part II)

My Funny Valentine

Last year, I dressed up the Beannut as cupid while the beanpa was stuck in a hotel during a massive snowstorm and couldn’t get home. We made footprints for him out of salt dough.

The year before that, the Beanpa was super sick and I was pretty pregnant, and I wouldn’t let him near me. So . . . → Read More: My Funny Valentine

Because She Doesn’t Have A Lot of Toys?

This past week, we had the Beannut baptized. The ceremony was held during her naptime and I worried that she’d be freaking out and unmanageable through the ceremony and sleeping off in a corner during our luncheon. Instead, she was nothing short of angelic. Similarly, on Thanksgiving, she didn’t nap enough and had been pretty tired . . . → Read More: Because She Doesn’t Have A Lot of Toys?

Nothing Proverbial Here…

Just a regular foot in her mouth. Like, all the time. And today she did it while wearing the new slippers BeanPa bought for her.

He Got Me …

He finally got me.

Roughly two years ago, the BeanPa and I went on our first date. We almost never went on another one because, apparently, as the story goes, I wouldn’t let him rub garlic on my mosquito bite (which was on my toe).

Two years later, on vacation, and perhaps a little more malleable … . . . → Read More: He Got Me …

Why Not To Let Your Kid Get Overtired

Because then you end up home on a Saturday night, pulling your hair out trying to get her back into her routine, which was never really much of a routine, but much more of a routine than this … whatever this is. She’s been waking every twenty minutes at night, due to a double ear infection, . . . → Read More: Why Not To Let Your Kid Get Overtired

Long-Awaited Gluten- Dairy- Soy- Sugar-free Banana Bread Recipe

Well, here it is. I’ll admit, it’s not the most exciting banana bread out there (the title of this post might have already clued you in on that) but it’s great for those with sensitive babes like the beannut.

I pretty much introduced egg to her through this recipe (you can always replace egg with oil) . . . → Read More: Long-Awaited Gluten- Dairy- Soy- Sugar-free Banana Bread Recipe

Elimination Communication

Um. For the record, despite rumors that the BeanMa has any hippy leanings, I draw the line here. Maybe it just hasn’t been presented to me in a way that I see the cost-benefit ratio in a way you elimination communicators out there might.

I may be open to convincing, but only . . . → Read More: Elimination Communication
