Update:  Monday, October 1, 2012 And the winner of the Mobi GloMate and the copy of my book that they may or may not choose to re-gift to their third cousin is… Kendra “Such a great blog! My Avery would love that (we just PCS to Oceanside CA so she has had lots of changes). […]

Both of our kids were breastfed until about 2.08 seconds after they bit the ever loving CRAP out of me. And then we switched to formula. I’m no wimp, but both of our kids had mouths FULL of teeth by six months. (Exhibit A: Averi with two teeth on bottom and at least two on […]

You know what’s way more fun than Disney World and costs almost as much? A trip to the dentist.

Some families curse God. Some curse each other. Some families wallow in self-pity. Some allow greed to overcome them. But this […]
