I’ve been a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas since it’s first release. I had to hold off on showing it to my kids who are 8 and 3.. because they fear easily and I don’t want those long nightmare nights with them. They deserve peaceful slumber. We initially got the CD for the music first…
If anyone shares stories of how smart their kid is, I won’t follow-up with any of my Peanut tales because it honestly doesn’t matter to me anymore. I’m going to enjoy her as she is because I honestly believe (and came to this realization today) that no matter what she knows right now has absolutely…
Christian the Lion- Reunion! This is the reunion of two guys and a lion. They raised him as a cub, but when he got too big for their London apartment, they released him into the wild in Kenya (with the help of a conservationist). A year later and they returned to Kenya to see Christian.…
Having Peanut has taught me a lot of things.. especially when she was a baby. But that was just teaching me how to be a mom. Now that’s she’s older, she’s teaching me how to be human and to be a better person: Stickers are cool no matter what they look like. Even those freebies…
Could this be true? Could Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopt a Czech baby? You can see more of the story here at The Sun. Luck to them if they do… they have the time, money, and nanny power to do so, I say enrich the lives of children who would otherwise have a crappy…
Baby fever stinks. It’s a cruel trick by Mother Nature to get you to reproduce when you really don’t want another kid right now. A lot of women I know are pregnant, just had a baby, or trying to get pregnant. As for me, I’m dealing with a rambunctious 2 year old who has just…
Years ago I made a sailor blush. He stationed Pearl Harbor and we had a little wager that I couldn’t make him turn red in the face from my dirty mouth. I won. I won’t tell you what I said though because it’s pretty bad. I never lost my bad language which comes from years…
For now the gap between American and Czech ways is pretty narrow, but as Peanut gets older.. it’s widening.. Potty training – Huge debate in this house right now. Americans typically begin potty training around the age of 2. Czechs potty train before one. Yea.. one. They sit there on the potty reading a book,…
I am so sick of seeing this on boards that it’s not even funny. Moms who hate the Teletubbies so much that they put down other moms for letting their kids watch it. What the hell? Why would anyone care what I let my kid watch on TV? Last time I checked, she was my…
I asked my hubby to watch Peanut for 10 minutes so I could take a shower this morning. While in the shower I realized how much I miss taking morning showers, so I thought of other things I missed since I’ve had Peanut. Morning showers Jumping out of the car and running into a store…
