Halloween Candy

I took Princess trick-or-treating last night with some friends.  We had a blast.  She scored a TON of candy.   Too bad she’s not allowed to eat any of it, as she is quick to point out.  Remember, she had 7 cavities at her first dentist visit.  The ordeal is still fresh in her little brain.  [...]

I Heart Pumpkin Latte

Hi, My name is Mommy and I am a Starbucks Pumpkin Latte Addict.
My addiction began 2 weeks ago when the temperatures went from seasonably pleasant to frickin’ cold here in NH. My husband has been traveling for work for 11 weeks now…pretty much Monday through Friday…although some weeks he stops by for a quick [...]

BamBam’s 1st Trip to the Dentist

Our 2 year old, BamBam, went for his first dentist appointment today. In case you haven’t been following along, I felt like the Loser Parent of the Year when I took 5 year old Princess for her first visit and found out that she had 7, yep, 7 cavities…and ended up getting a crown [...]

Crappy Saturday

I could tell you quite a few reasons why I’m not having the best Saturday. Such as:
THE Daddy is away for work (again? still?) and won’t be home until well after dinner tonight.
Or that the weather is in the 50’s and it is pouring buckets out there. I am literally chilled to the bone. [...]

Pumpkin Beer & Gaucho Steak

We hosted a pumpkin carving party over the weekend for about 75 of our closest friends and family…and their friends and family…and a few more people I didn’t know. It was actually a lot of fun. THE Daddy recently finished building a bar, family room, bathroom and playroom in the basement, so we had plenty [...]

Princess Gets a Crown

Princess had her two worst cavities filled this morning. I am so happy with “The Kid’s Dentist”, I could kiss them all! They were fabulous with her. They turned the scariest experience of her life into an adventure. Seeing her so comfortable definitely eased my nerves.
They have a resident dog who greeted us at the [...]

Cavities

I realized that I won the LOSER Parent of the Year Award about a month ago at Princess’ first dentist appointment. They scheduled the major cavity in her molar to be filled just after Thanksgiving. Well, she’s been complaining that it hurts to chew on one side of her mouth, so I called to get [...]

Spam I Am

I use Yahoo! Mail for my email. They do a pretty decent job weeding out the spam and putting it into a separate folder. Every now and then something gets put into the spam folder that isn’t actually spam. I work from home and email is the only form of communication I have with my [...]

Princess and The Devil

Princess said something that made me laugh this weekend.  We were riding back home from going out to breakfast and I was complaining about Starbucks being the devil and accusing them of putting crack in their pumpkin lattes…which I am suddenly finding myself hugely addicted to…after being coffee-free for over a year. My conversation was [...]
