4 Hours of Sleep and a Pot of Coffee

Had one of those nights last night where both kiddies rotated during the night with various issues. I finally got to bed around 3 and baby was up bright eyed and bushy tailed... (Where does that saying come from anyway??)... at 6:30 am! I have had a pot of coffee already and have dropped, at least once, everything I have tried to pick up this morning... breakfast prep was very amusing and messy!

I am already looking forward to bed time, but I wouldn't trade my boys for all the sleep in the world!!!

Want to Feel Fabulous After Baby?!

I will have to admit after this second baby I feel pretty frumpy! Going into summer I just wanted to feel sexy again but I didn't know how to do it!

First thing I did was get a new hairstyle! It's fresh and sassy for summer. The next thing I did was self tan. It gives you life and makes you appear slimmer... I even did my mommy tummy even though no one will see it I know it looks smaller under my clothes lol!

When shopping for summer if you still don't feel you sexiest shop for things where size doesn't matter! Sexy shoes, amazing accessories and a great over sized purse (for when your spouse takes you and and you are diaper bag free) are great ways to feel fashionable and sexy without focusing on the things you don't like about yourself quite yet!

Remember as a great friend once told me it took 9 months for your body to change so doesn't it just makes sense it would take at least that long for it to go back to some kind of normal?! After all we don't have the trainers etc the celebs have to get back into pre baby shape in 2 months!!

4 Month Old Being Raised Genderless

While reading yesterday I came across an article about 4 month old Storm in Toronto who is being raised genderless by it's parents. They say it is to allow their child to become whoever they want to be without societies expectations etc.

I am not sure I really see the point in this experiment and I really feel that this will only cause issues for this poor child later on. I allow my children to be who they want to be. My son has longish hair for a boy, plays whatever he wishes and I truly believe he is not stifled by societies expectations for what a boy means!

I have included a link to the article here for all those of you who want to read more.

What are your thoughts on this topic? Would you want to raise a Genderless child? How long can this go on before the child wants to know who they are and what that means?

Are We Raising Lazy Kids?

I just recently found Too Big For Stroller while surfing online. This site shares pics of children who are more then capable of walking being carted around in strollers! Why do we do this? Are our kids lazy... or are we as parents too busy... or lazy to have our children walk beside us once they get to a certain age!

Is it our fault our children aren't active these days and that childhood obesity is on the rise? It really is something to think about!

What a Crazy Few Weeks!

What a crazy few weeks this has been! My father experienced some medical issues that threw our family into quite a stressful time! I have been in and out of hospitals finding it very hard to get answers or have someone listen to you long enough to really get the full story on what was going on! Luckily my father is home and seems to be finally on the mend!!




This is what has made me smile over these past few weeks!
