This post is sponsored by Similac. I was compensated for this post but all opinions are my own. In the early haze of new motherhood I was overwhelmed with guilt over not being able to breastfeed. While the two mammary glands attached to my chest look promising, the truth is they are milk duds. ForContinue reading “I Worry About Breastfeeding ALL THE TIME (no I don’t.)”

Vivi-isms: Part 2
When Vivi isn’t meowing at me (her preferred form of communication over the last several months) she has squeaked out a few Vivi-isms. “My favorite shape is a heart. Daddy’s favorite shape is a square, LIKE HIS HEAD.” ***** This: ***** “My nickname is Sticks, you can call me Sticks.” ***** “Dad? Why do youContinue reading “Vivi-isms: Part 2”
2014 flu bye.
We all ended up with various stages of the flu over Christmas, all of us except Addie. I take this as proof that she has officially outgrown that kid thing where they lick weird and random stuff. Vivi on the other hand, stand close to her for too long and she will for sure lickContinue reading “2014 flu bye.”
on infertility, four years later

Every decision I made in or around my house included the fact that one day a baby would be in it and so I had to plan accordingly.

It’s hard as hell to come up with a thousand words about a picture. But this one, (well, that one ^Continue reading “929 words”
Vivi-isms
*farts* “Whoa, that was my butt waking up.” ***** *seated at a very busy restaurant, large man walks by* “That’s a very big boy, I’ll bet he has a very large bellybutton on his butt. But you don’t. You have hair!” (Butt Bellybutton = Male Genitalia.) ***** *Addie comes home from school, Vivi is veryContinue reading “Vivi-isms”

It was one of those moments when I want to tell those who choose to be child-free, “YOU MADE A FINE CHOICE FOR YOURSELF. I ENVY THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE COVERED IN POO AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.”
an hour with miss vivienne jean.
“LET’S GO TO THE PARK! I’m going to bring all my bunnies. Can I wear them in my backpack? I want little bunny on the outside. BUNNIES! WE’RE GOING TO THE PARK!” Nothing but smiles and giggles the whole way to the park, no complaints, no signs of distress, nothing but shiny happy toddler. SheContinue reading “an hour with miss vivienne jean.”
pot talk.
Potty training with Addie nearly killed me dead. I won’t go into details because someday her boyfriend will read this, but you know what? Her boyfriend had to be potty trained too, if he’s not you need better taste in boyfriends, Addie. Vivi on the other hand, she said one day “I NEED TO GOContinue reading “pot talk.”
