• Thankful

  
  BABY RABIES — Authority: 119
  Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you and yours had a day full of family, friends, and food. This is me demonstrating how thankful I am for devices that keep my screaming child contained while I attempt to run a 5k in the cold with over 30,000 other people. Thankful for daddy transportation. It’s efficient and much ...

• Nature or nurture?

  
  BABY RABIES — Authority: 119
  Kendall’s obsessed with football, and by obsessed I mean he wants to take one of his two footballs everywhere (he has two because I forgot his only one at home when we travelled to San Antonio, and I begged my mom to get him another before we got there so he would stop screaming “BALL!!” at me with those sad, ...

• Suggestions?

  
  Dance by the Light — Authority: 113
  Most Christmas gifts are pretty simple at our house, and so I was wondering what gift suggestions you parents might have for 2 1/2 year old toddler boys. I’m looking for things that will occupy these winter months of being indoors more. They love trains but already pretty much have a nice stash of trains and ...

• Tips to a Better Toddler: Praise Like Crazy

  
  The Natural Mommy — Authority: 130
  Most of the previous tips seems to be focusing on bad behavior.  And when all I focus on is bad behavior, my child seems to give me more and more to focus on. Is it because his self-esteem has dropped so low he thinks that is all he has to offer? Is it because he is so desperate for my attention that he is giving ...

• so nice, i bought it twice

  
  the calm before the stork — Authority: 113
  I think we have entered the obsessive phase of toddlerhood. Anyone have advice on when this ends? It started like this: Ages ago, I saw a pair of jeans in Baby Gap. Fake distressed, with fake patches, and an embroidered skull. I thought they were ridiculously cute, and so very very wrong, and too expensive at almost ...

• Tips to a Better Toddler: Be Attentive

  
  The Natural Mommy — Authority: 130
  On days when my attention and priorities are not on my children, they act out more. It is their life’s mission to receive love, attention, and approval from me, their parent.  But when push comes to shove, they’ll settle for one out of the three.  Attention.  And they learn at an early age that though they may ...

• My social experiment finally goes live

  
  BABY RABIES — Authority: 119
  So remember how I gave up the internet for an ENTIRE WEEK ? And remember how I lived to tell about it ? Well, I can finally share the rest of the story with you all. I went on my internet sabbatical as part of a social experiment for DFW’s CBS 11. The story finally aired tonight. You can watch it here. Or just ...

• The Phantom Baby Kick Phenomenon

  
  BABY RABIES — Authority: 119
  Let it be known that after you have a baby (long after the life that grew inside of you and kicked your ass from the inside has left the comfort of your warm, swimmy womb), you will catch yourself reaching to pat your tummy after what feels like an adorable little baby kick to the belly button (or anywhere in the ...

• Life with a toddler.

  
  Serenity Now! — Authority: 120
  There are some days where I REALLY doubt my ability to be a good mother. Like this morning. Where my reaction to the whining and tantrums makes me feel like crap. (Yes. I yelled. And in the moment where I yelled, and he quieted and looked at me all serious, it made me FEEL BETTER. But then it all came crashing ...

• Well, that blew (chunks)

  
  BABY RABIES — Authority: 119
  I was SO ready for this race. Being my second marathon, I felt a sense of calm about me. It was like I could relax more, enjoy it more because I knew what to expect. We’ve been training for six months, six long hard months that took us right through the brutal Texas summer. I’ve pushed the stroller over more miles ...

• I Need Advice!!!

  
  Ceaseless Praises — Authority: 118
  Today marked the end of our busy fall retreat season at camp - we closed it out with a wonderful Hobby Weekend - we had lots of scrapbookers, card-stampers, photographers, knitters, and a cross-stitcher. A lot of my MOPS friends were here for the retreat, so my great Hubby watched our little guy both evenings after ...

• Tips to a Better Toddler: Talk Like Steve from Blues Clues

  
  The Natural Mommy — Authority: 130
  There’s a reason kids like that show.  They like the attention he shows them.  They like the exciting tone of voice he uses.  They like the way he breaks everything down to be easy to understand for young minds. He does not yell, use sarcasm, or expect more than they can give. And I find when I am trying to get ...

• Brotherly Love

  
  Dance by the Light — Authority: 113
  A week or so ago we were out in the yard and I manage to quickly catch this demonstration of sibling affection. It’s a bit out of focus, but I love it for what it is: brotherly love. Duncan opened wide his arms and Owen ran in. So sweet. And I love the brilliant blue of Duncan’s eyes in this picture. ...

• Tips to a Better Toddler: Have a Plan. Keep to the Plan.

  
  The Natural Mommy — Authority: 130
  I am the worst parent when I feel as though I have no control over my child.  I panic.  And I do not make wise choices. So I develop a plan of action for my children, and this is especially helpful in the toddler years, as they find comfort in routine and anxiety apart from it. A plan of action for a toddler is ...

• My little caveman

  
  BABY RABIES — Authority: 119
  Kendall likes to hit himself… in the face, and sometimes he follows that up by bashing his head against the wall, doors, floor, etc.  I especially love how after he freaks the fuck out on himself he looks at me, as if to say, “See what YOU made me dooooo!!” Yes, it is totally my fault that you just slammed your ...

• Tips to a Better Toddler: Be the Change

  
  The Natural Mommy — Authority: 130
  Toddlers are sponges.  Toddlers are mirrors.  Toddlers are spongy little mirrors.  (Shiny little sponges?)  They learn how to handle life by watching how the people around them handle life.  And believe me, they will not pick up on the one time you were gracious and patient if it was surrounded by selfish ...

• Mommy’s Not-So-Secret Wish

  
  New Parent — Authority: 134
  “But why do we have to wear seat belts, mom?” If you have four and six-year-old daughters, you know that every day is an endless, repetitive parade of questions. “Because it’s the law,” I explain for the eleventy-thousandth time. “What’s a law?” they demand, for the thirteen-bazillionth time. ...

• Tips to a Better Toddler: Expect It.

  
  The Natural Mommy — Authority: 130
  This is my second time through toddlerhood, and I’m deperately trying to remember what I did with Olivia that caused her to turn out so well.  So disciplined.  So caring.  So observant. (Me? Proud? Maybe…) I’m in the throes of it with Benjamin and I’m telling you, I don’t always see the light at the end ...

• I’ve been challenged

  
  BABY RABIES — Authority: 119
  I met Ashley over at Delish-Blog.com over 4 years ago on, of all things, a wedding message board. We became good internet friends, she answered tons of questions for me about DIY wedding projects (she pulled of a gorgeous wedding of her own the year before I got hitched) and she was even AT my wedding as an ...

• Even the Miracle Bra can’t help me

  
  BABY RABIES — Authority: 119
  A lot of blog posts come to me in the shower. This one was literally inspired by  the view looking down in the shower today. It is a sad state of affairs between my neck and my belly button, people. Sad like two deflated balloons the day after a birthday party. Sad like an empty, dusty house that used to be home to a ...
