Family Vacations

Posted by Lindsay Lebresco in May 12th 2009  

I thought I’d turn the blog over to Kelley again because I was fascinated by our last conversation- she was telling me all about her latest family vacation and it occurred to me that maybe you’re never too old to vacation together as a family. This gave me some hope to know if I establish [...]

Conquering the Potty (finally!!)

Posted by Melissa Parlaman in January 29th 2009  

The statement I heard from a  lot of moms, “one day your child will wake up & decide that she wants to pee on the potty” always made me nervous. Well PP, who will be turning 3 in 3 months, had yet to express any interest in going peepee on the potty. So, I decided [...]

How About a New Month’s Resolution? Please?

Posted by Amy Sleep in January 22nd 2009  

I know many people make and then quickly break their New Years resolutions but I wanted to be REALLY serious about mine this year. Really. I swear. I took my time in thinking about it and mine seemed simple. It seemed doable. And it was important. . . .get more sleep.
The month of December was [...]

A Historical Day

Posted by Lindsay Lebresco in January 20th 2009  

This past November, on Election Day, I posted about politics and parenting and the excitement and privilege democracy allows our great nation. Today I’m compelled to write about this historical day – the Inauguration of America’s 44th president, Barack Obama. As an estimated 100,000 people crowded the mall on Washington by 6:30 am, history [...]

Bedtime Stall Tactics of a 2 Year Old

Posted by Melissa Landis in January 13th 2009  

I am beginning to learn that children can be quite crafty.  Beginning to learn is maybe not the right statement…I have been watching this craftiness slowly emerge over the last 24 months so it really isn’t that much of a surprise.  But you can just see the wheels turning in their little heads sometimes. Lovey [...]

The End of a [Thanksgiving] Era

Posted by Erin Gilbert in November 25th 2008  

Traditionalist, domestic, quite-the-cook, family-oriented, homebody, entertainer - these are all words that describe me that can probably show you, in a nut shell, why I am so bummed that I am not hosting Thanksgiving dinner in my new house this year- but for very good reasons.
Until I was about eight years old my Grandmother hosted Thanksgiving dinner [...]

Philadelphia Phillies Win 2008 World Series!!

Posted by Erin Gilbert in October 30th 2008  

And it’s 1 - 2 - 3 strikes your out at the old ball game!!! That’s pretty much how it went ladies and gentlemen. The Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in game 5 of the 2008 World Series! Closing pitcher Brad Ligde pitched the final three outs in the 9th inning bringing the [...]

Dirty Little Secrets…all Mothers Share

Posted by Kim Lefko in July 10th 2008  

I was inspired to write this after reading “Dirty Little Secrets.”
I found this light-hearted book inspiring because it takes a little bit of the guilt away. You know that feeling you have when you tell your child they can’t have sweets before dinner – and you dip your finger into the can of frosting without [...]

Feeling guilty and loving newborns!

Posted by Amy Sleep in July 7th 2008  

First of all, I want to give a big “THANKS!” to everyone who commented on my blog about loving the two-year-old stage (and NOT loving the newborn stage).  You all made me feel so much better about not being a fan of newborn babies — YEAH!  Apparently I really am normal (concerning this subject at [...]
