Maisers
Packing… the story of my life
It’s sort of sad when you travel and move around so often, that you just keep your child’s toys in a suitcase. Really, there was nowhere else to put it. I guess we could have bought some sort of toy bin or basket, but we would just be packing it up to move again at some point in the near future. The time has come where we are packing up again and let me tell you, it plain sucks. I hate it. I despise it. Not because I hate packing or organizing or whatever, but because I hate what it does to Maisie. It is so hard for her to see her toys be zipped up, not to be seen for who knows how long. This may sound ridiculous to some of you as I get that there are kids who don’t even have toys, or kids who don’t have…
Read MoreMaisie is TWO!
I seriously can’t believe that Maisie is two already. I hear parents say this same sort of thing about their own children, but really, it is true. It goes by way too fast! This last year went by even faster than the first! Where did the time go!?! Unfortunately, I wasn’t feeling too well on her birthday, but we still made the best of it. She woke up to us singing her happy birthday on video! Excuse my morning singing voice. I already sound like Cameron Diaz on My Best Friend’s Wedding, but then add the whole morning aspect and well, it isn’t a pretty sound! Maisie then opened presents from family (except not us) and watched birthday ecards! Then we went out of for lunch (which she slept through) and then out for a hot chocolate (which she barely drank, but did eat little cakes w/whipped cream) and then…
Read MorePoo in the Toilet
Maisie walked over to me and grunted, like she was trying to go poo. “Poo,” she told me. I asked her my usual question of, “Do you want to go poopy in the big girl toilet like mommy, Avery, Aunt Amy…?” Maisie responded with the typical “No, no, no, no!” “You can have a treat if you go poo poo in the big girl potty.” “Otay!” And then she continues to run to the toilet. I put her on the toilet and it takes less than five seconds and she is finished! WHAT IN THE HECK!?!? I had to hurry up and come up with some sort of treat. She ran to the kitchen for her treat, but I didn’t really want to reward her with food and teach her to eat when she feels she “deserves” it or whatever. So I let her open up one of Aunt Amy’s…
Read MoreHighlights from our trip to Paris
We had a really fun time in Paris, seeing our friends, walking around our old neighborhood, and visiting our favorite parts of the city. The last time we were in Paris was last February and it was a very difficult trip for the both of us, so it was sooooo nice to be able to enjoy the city with our old friends without having to deal with any real ISH (issues, in case you have forgotten). There ended up being a bit of drama before we left and I had to take the train by myself (Justin’s flight was cancelled from Barcelona to Amsterdam, so he just met me in Paris). I managed fine thanks to my friend Jeanie! The train was 40 minutes late though and they kept announcing it would only be five more minutes. So I waited and waited and waited OUTSIDE while it was snowing (but…
Read MoreI hate you Dora!
Maisie is literally obsessed with this silly little DVD I bought her the other day. It’s Dora the Explorer Super Babies! I hate it. Detest it. Despise it. Justin has been out of town, so I’ve been more chill with letting her watch tv. Well, Maisie is obsessed with babies, therefore, obsessed with this movie due to the fact that it has babies in it. Flying babies. Every morning the first thing she says is no longer, “Where daddy?” It is now, “Fly baby!?!” She only wants to watch this movie. She would literally be content watching the Dora baby movie for every waking hour of her day. And even when I put her down for nap or bedtime, she says, “No, baby fly!!!” So I have decided I hate Dora. I hate swiper no swiping. Hate it all. I don’t think I will ever buy her another Dora…
Read MoreConfessions of a Hippie Mom (judge if you like)
Sometimes I like to just come out with all the things that I am sometimes embarrassed of or think people will judge me on, just to get it off my chest. Now is one of those times. I think part of me does this to prove to myself that I am not so crazy, while another part of me just wants to be seen as normal, so by sharing what I do on my blog, I hope to make the things I do normal! Why do I even care to be “normal” and what is “normal” anyways!?!? The first thing that I have been ashamed to admit is that I am still breast-feeding. Some people are shocked to hear this as my little nugget will be two in December!!! I would have NEVER thought in a million years that I would nurse this long. NO WAY!!! Before Maisie was born,…
