Here in Connecticut, we are in the middle of our winter season and it can be hard to keep little people busy indoors when all they want to do is run around outside. Here are a few ideas to keep toddlers and preschoolers busy during those days when you are ready to lose your mind.…
Last Sunday my baby officially turned one year old. It’s been a difficult year on so many levels I’m not even sure where to start. I have so many feelings surrounding Matthew’s birthday and I’m guessing that there are other 2020 moms who feel similarly. Here is just a taste of some of the feelings…
We all know that 2020 has been quite a year. So much has gone wrong and as it nears its end I think many are glad to have it behind us. I have to admit though, the realist in me doesn’t foresee 2021 being much better – at least not the first part of the…
Some of you are likely about to think I’ve completely lost my mind but I’m about to tell you about how much I LOVE the way my baby smells. Ok – before you decide if I’m crazy or not let me clarify – I don’t mean his dirty diapers because man – those could clear…
My last blog post, read it here, was about my gratitude towards my ability to breastfeed my 10 month old son. He is thriving on breastmilk and is quite the chunky monkey – as we affectionately refer to him. He is over a whopping 19lbs – much larger and heavier than my first son was…

Her skin wrinkles. Pale. Her mouth always holding her green pacifier. Her hand holding some wrapper. Legs curled in like…
A couple of days ago a good friend sent me a text “please tell me it’s ok to stop nursing, I am drowning” or something to that effect. It got me thinking. We are so hard on ourselves. I mean we were hard on ourselves pre-covid but now? This situation we are living in is…
Growing up, I always felt a little bit of resentment towards my younger sister (even saying that I feel horrible admitting it.) Being the older sibling I always felt that she “got away” with things that I never did and she seemed to be granted privileges that I never had. It seemed as if my…
My last couple posts have been about the start of our occupational therapy journey with my older son. For the last three years I have questioned some of my sons’ behaviors only to be told that they were normal and that he would grow out of them. Fast forward and we now know that my…
