If Shoes Are Any Indication, Kindergarten Will Rock

She wore purple iridescent patent leather Danskos. Who couldn't love her? I knew immediately it would be a good year. Any teacher who wears purple iridescent patent leather Danskos is A-OK in my book. For this choice of footwear, while sensible and...

Roll with the changes

It seems like every time I go to dress Lincoln something else doesn't fit him. Now, he needs new socks. Since he's been going barefoot most days I didn't notice he's grown out of the 6-12 month socks he has (he's only seven months...

Let the mommy guilt begin

I thought I was guilt-free this fall. Matthew was in Kindergarten, yes, but that was not my choice. The US Department of Education tells him he must go to school. It has nothing to do with me choosing/wanting to work. And Ben's been in daycare for...

We survived the first day of Kindergarten. Well, I survived. There was no doubt that Matthew would survive. He loved it. And he was just as excited to get back on that bus today, so that's a good sign. He told me that his favorite part of the day...

Green Monsters: Jealousy of the Furry Kind

Contest - Win a KidStuff coupon book

Like every mom, I love a good bargain. I feel crippled if I don't have a coupon. Paying full price makes me break out into a cold sweat. I love a good opportunity to use a good coupon, and love it even more than I can share a great coupon deal with...

Becoming a mother increases your sense of empathy by leaps and bounds

I've been an emotional ball of tears this last week. I'm crying for people who've died. The thing is, I don't know any of them. Not personally. They're friends of friends or stories I've heard about on the news. First I heard about...
