Sibling Rivarly Never Ends

As a mother of three I would like to think that the rivalry between my three munchkins will end as they get older, however, the older they get the more bickering happens. As I look at my younger sister and me I realize that sibling rivalry never ends. It is apparent in the way my sister and I can be seen when together. My sister and I are opposites having very little in common,  the fact that we have the same two parents and love tattoos are really the only things I can think of that we have in common. I am the hold the door for another person and tell everyone to have a nice day kind of person and my sister pretty much sticks to herself unless it’s …

I Played the “Mama Means Business” Card and Won

Let me tell you what, after my two sons were born I was quick to become a bit inconsistent in my parenting ways. My middle child and first born son was a bit of a challenge and he wiped me right out. I hung onto the excuse that he has more needs and has some issues instead of actually fighting to stick to the fact that I am Mom.

She had my undivided attention and since I worked outside of the home when I was home I was not thinking about getting her to sleep so I could log on and get work done. I went to sleep with my daughter and woke up with my daughter, dropped her at home daycare and headed to the office. Life was very different raising my daughter versus when I added my second child and then my third child. My daughter was always a great sleeper, she had no issues. My daughter would co-sleep with me and we slept the same hours. I would even take naps with my daughter during …

Not Everyone Finds Baby Cribs at Second Hand Stores

I never had a brand new baby crib with any of my children, actually now that I think about it …. my first born was able to have a brand new crib that we found at a thrift store brand new in the box, making it new but found at a used goods store. I can’t believe that we found a brand new crib at a thrift type store because that would be the last place I would think to look for Baby Cribs. There are just so many brands and styles of baby cribs out there that I could never have taken the time to decide. My boys used the same crib and we bought that one at a second beginnings store locally. The crib was gently used but …
