Change of plans
I like to plan things. This past weekend was no different. A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I decided to let Lexiana spend the night with his parents on Friday night. She hadn’t stayed overnight with them before. …

Babies and dogs are different
As promised, I have also noticed some ways that my baby girl and dog are different. Some of them are funny, some of them are serious. Both my furry and not-so-furry kiddos bring me joy in their own way. I …

Managing germ fears
I come from a line of germophobes on my mom’s side. These are ladies obsessed with things like hand-washing and house-cleaning. While I’m not quite as stringent about some things (as anyone who has ever dropped by my home unexpectedly …

It’s “Bessie’s” turn
I’m passing the reins to “Bessie.” As of today, my daughter is fully on cow’s milk, and I have mixed feelings about it.
I am not one of those moms for whom breastfeeding was easy. (I wonder if those moms …
