Because Mom's Always Working
Amazing things occur
Well, it's been a very busy few months. The little one is into everything, and our favorite words are teetering between "no" and "mine" - of course there are others, but those are definitely the top two! We stomp our feet, we like to dance to Dora (and anything else), we still love Elmo, and we're enjoying the summer.
But our latest and greatest by far is our love for the Kitty Cat. After a long hiatus (7 months to be precise), Mr. Cat has been returned to his formal home. He went out and has finally been found (about 9 miles away and across major highways). He's a little banged up, but we think he's going to be just fine. We have him on a variety of medications -might I recommend swaddling a cat just like a child when you have to give medication, particularly a pill - and all in all, he's getting there. I think in a few weeks he'll be back in the swing of things. He's been very tolerant of the little one, who has been petting him non-stop. But she's also been bringing him every toy mouse in the house, wherever he may be sitting or sleeping.
It's pretty amazing to see him after all this time, and I'm so happy about it. Life is good, and miracles certainly do happen.
You just have to open your eyes.
And believe.
After a long hiatus...
Well, it's been a while. Needless to say, mom's been working. And vacationing!! If anyone else has schlepped the family through 8 states of driving, you know what I mean. All in all, it was a fun time, and I couldn't have asked for my baby to be a better traveler. She had fun playing with her shoes, looking at the trees and of course, napping along the way. I can't say there wasn't any crying (unless I lied) but it was a lot less than expected!!! Next time, though...we fly!!!
I've been trying to keep up with all the BCP reports and sippy cups...I wish they would just recall it already and make life easier. Trying to remember what number is okay and what numbers aren't...why on earth don't they just pull it already? So ridiculous. Not only do you have to worry about what your kids eat, but now you get to worry about what they eat it from. Arghghgh!!!

Can We Get The Lead Out? Please?
If you are a parent, most likely one of your main concerns has been regarding all the recent lead paint recalls surrounding children's items. It's so difficult to keep track of the many recalls on certain toys, bibs, and other items that involve our children. Personally, I used to think lead paint was a problem that we didn't need to be as concerned with (if you weren't in a home with paint from the 70s). It's so amazing that all these wonderful brand new toys could be riddled with toxic materials. With the holidays coming around, it's even more of a concern, and it's good to check out www.recalls.gov to review the current list. Hopefully we can avoid giving the gift of lead paint for the holiday season!!!!
Because Mom's Always Working
Welcome to my new blog!!!
As everyone knows, being a working mom can sometimes be a bit challenging. This blog is directed towards the working mommys out there who are becoming expert jugglers of the priorities of life. I'm sure many would agree that being a parent is the most rewarding job in the universe, and we all want to embrace each moment with as much love, energy and joy as we possibly can.
Being a working mom enables me to focus on the important things, and to remember to "not sweat the small stuff." Life is way too short, so grab each minute and stretch it as far as you can. And when things get tough, look into your baby's beautiful eyes and remember what's it is all about.
