Resolutions

January 12, 2014

We all have them. They may not start on Jan 1st (or Jan 2nd for that matter if you were still nursing a hangover from one too many glasses of cava like me)… But resolutions are a part of life. We all strive for something better. To run a few extra miles a week. To […]

The Griswalds

January 3, 2014

NATM has been absent lately… We’ve been busy filling the last 30 days with endless holiday activities and cheer. Admittingly we over did it this year…Ok, really, completely, ridiculously over did it this year. Decorating 7 (yes 7) Christmas trees within the confines of our small 1 bedroom apartment, a border-line-my-husband-may-check-me-into-an-asylum amount of picture opportunities […]

Thankful Thursday

November 28, 2013

With thanksgiving here, it seems proper to write about the things that we are thankful for. Of course I’m thankful for my son. His health. Our health. It’s really all that really matters. But everyone does that. Everyone writes down the same 5 things. Health, family, love, etc. So If you want to read about […]

Playing Teams

November 7, 2013

Playing Teams There seems to be an unsaid divide out there between some moms. I’ve seen it more and more recently and I find it quite shocking. The divide is between the moms with one child and the moms with two children. I thought we were in the same club? Navigating this parenting world together, […]

Lil’ Bookworm

August 25, 2013

Lil’ Johnny loves his books. He just can’t get enough of them. What a great thing – our son loves books! A great tool for learning, it makes for a happy parent. Baby Touch and feel books, color books, baby faces books, first words…animals…peek-a-boo…you name it, we’ve got it. And here-in lies the problem. We’ve […]

Bite Me

August 18, 2013

I hate mosquitoes. With a passion. But really…who doesn’t? I know I am not alone. I really don’t think that there are people who really enjoy endlessly scratching and thus causing bleeding welts that nicely transform to acne looking scars all their legs during prime shorts season. Wait – that doesn’t happen to you? Consider […]

Getting Schooled

August 5, 2013

How much did you pay for college? I (ok, my loans and mom) paid $20,000 for 4 years, tuition only, at a Big Ten state college. At that time the school was hard to get into. Hard, meaning one had to test into it to be accepted. Prospective students required a high SAT score and […]

The F Word

July 25, 2013

Since Lil’ Johnny has joined our world I have become an F word enthusiast. Truthfully, I’ve always cursed like a sailor. But today I’m talking about a different F word. The Firsts. The First Halloween, the First Christmas, the First Easter, etc… A onesie for each; a picture of all. It’s been a wild ride […]

Toasted

July 12, 2013

I don’t cook. At. All. A lot of people say this but really don’t mean it. They make toast. They make a Tombstone pizza. They bake cupcakes from a box. My friends, this is cooking. If you open the oven door, that qualifies as cooking. So stop lying. I hold cooking at such a level […]

Crawl Space

July 6, 2013

Lock down the house and baton down the hatches. Lil Johnny is crawling. Backwards only, and complete with grunting noises, but make no mistake – crawling he is. He’s loving it, and I’m losing it. But not because I m worried about the things he could get into…Dave and I actually hired a baby proofer […]
