My work week is officially over. I’ve been semi-sick all day and have booked a sub for tomorrow. On my fifth day of work. Hmmm. Lack of sleep and relaxation time wreaks havoc on the immune system. Working is SO MUCH HARDER than being a stay at home mom and I don’t [...]

My favourite ladies at Mother-Talk recently put out a call for people to review Mamasource. It’s a networking site for mamas that’s unfortunately only for Americans but since I already offered to help out I just made up a zip code. Apparently I’m from Schenectady. From the site:Mamasource is a safe and easy [...]

Work was great. My new school is awesome, the kids are fabulous and the people were very welcoming. The BG stayed home so he and Rylan played all day. Tomorrow’s his first full day at the babysitter’s house. I’m only 9 weeks pregnant and none of my clothes fit. Is that a [...]

There’s lots to be grateful for every day around these parts. 1. That Rylan is such a superstar. In time to start going to his dayhome, he’s weaned, walks sometimes, goes down stairs safely, gets up early (5 am’s a little too early, but whatever) and is a total social butterfly. He’s making this [...]

but at least it’s not my kid that suffers. My blog can be left alone to fend for itself for a little while. My baby? Not so much. (Thanks for the sad, sad link, Iz.) In better news, Rylan’s at the sitter right now for another trial. Day three and he still fights to get [...]

I got a call yesterday about a change in my job situation. A new medical leave has come up so I’ll be teaching grade two at a school about as far away from Rylan’s babysitter as possible. Actually half time grade two and half time special ed and admin. It’s only five [...]

I run into the liquor store to pick up a case of Big Rock for the BG. I had just run to the grocery store for a few things and only had my debit card stuffed in my bra strap. No picture ID. When I get up to the till with the beer in [...]

My kid? He is amazing. With a week to go before he starts at his dayhome, he has weaned himself, started sleeping through the night and started getting up at the time he’ll need to get up on work days. Crazy stuff! He’d been waking at 9 am for the longest time and I was [...]

It’s another Mother-Talk blog book tour day here at Much More Than a Mom. I’ve been reading up a storm and there’s more to come! I love free books, I love reading and I love telling people what I think. Thank goodness for Mother-Talk! For the last week I’ve been [...]

I suck at remembering to do these. I had to read Raechelle’s to remember to do mine! 1. I’m grateful for this long weekend to spend extra time with my little family and get the yardwork done. 2. I’m grateful that I got to sleep in for an extra hour this morning. The BG got [...]

So, how fair is this? I get pregnant before Rylan’s even close to weaning. Which? Yeah! A baby! But? Huge freaking boobs for two more years without a break. He’s only nursing 1-2 times per day now - when he gets up in the morning and every few days he’ll nurse [...]

Rylan gives real kisses now. I totally love it. Sometimes they’re still of the French variety, but often they’re the real thing. Want one? Heh. Job update: I’ll be a full time sub for the last 5 weeks of the year. Guaranteed work every day but no planning, no prep, no homework…gotta love it!

I’m dreading going back to work. I still don’t even know where I’m going. June is my favourite month. When I’m not working, that is. And I don’t want to miss the days. Strangely enough, I’m not worried about Rylan (much). It’s that mother’s intuition thing. Remember when my intuition [...]

Welcome to today’s stop on the Mother-Talk blog book tour for my new favourite gift for boys! The Dangerous Book for Boys by Conn & Hal Iggulden is a package of excitement from the moment you take it out of the box (or pull it off the shelf, if you’re the old fashioned type). The [...]

I’m taking Rylan and deserting the BG to go visit our moms this weekend. The BG wanted to come but he’s helping a friend move tomorrow and it would be along drive for just an overnight stay. I convinced him to stay home because he has to travel for work every day next [...]

Welcome to today’s stop on the Mother-Talk blog book tour for Healthy Mother, Healthy Child by Elizabeth Irvine. Beth is a mother, a nurse and a yoga instructor (and apparently a Catholic, which seems a little out of place in this book, but whatever) and she integrates her experience in all of those areas to bring [...]

Public Service Announcement: Do not buy this for your kid’s room. (Sold only in Asia at the moment, the instructions on the package (Heh. Package) translate to say “Follow me, hug me, kiss me.”) —————————— We spent the day at Leah’s yesterday and had an awesome time. Primarily thanks to the great company, and a little thanks [...]

Have you heard about the new online show “In The Motherhood?” Actress Leah Remini (from King of Queens) is the mom of a three year old and is taking motherhood to the big-time with her new mom-focused web series (showing from April 17 through June and on the Ellen DeGeneres Show). Even cooler, moms [...]

I’m a techie. I don’t phone (except my parents). I don’t write letters. I rarely even answer the phone. I email. I blog. And that’s about it. I also have a secret love for stationery. I love buying cool cards and I even design some pretty cool ones myself. [...]

Now You Know Media is a very small new media company. They work with experts in various fields to record audio lectures on various topics. It’s essentially adult education on CD’s. So far, they have three categories: Now You Know Health, Now You Know Wealth & Now You Know Religion. I was asked [...]

1. I’m grateful that we’re so incredibly fertile and we get to have another baby! 2. I’m grateful that the babysitter we’ve found for June is so great and was willing to squeeze Rylan in to her house for those weeks I need to work. 3. I’m grateful that we have so much equity in our home [...]

I was recently sent some TrueBlue Blueberry Cocktail to review. We’re huge blueberry fans around here so I was pretty excited to taste it. Not only because they’re super high in antioxidants but because they taste really good. They’re my husbands favourite berry and Rylan can down a pint in a day. [...]

So, I promised y’all my reasons for not being able to blog this week. Here they are, in all their glory. Sunday: 1. After a great visit & playtime with my father in law (pics to follow another day), we the BG did yard work for several hours. Sometime between the BG finishing the front [...]

Dr. Michael Breus (Ph.D. sleep specialist, not MD - just to clarify) has written a great book called GOOD NIGHT: The Sleep Doctor’s 4 Week Program to Better Sleep & Better Health. When we were given the opportunity to review it, I jumped on it because my husband is a crappy sleeper. Great [...]

Sorry for the lack of blogging. I have reasons. Will be back soon with an explanation. Just couldn’t leave those search strings of insanity at the top any longer.

When it’s been a while, I miss these. Here are some of the most interesting search strings people have used to find me over the last 6 weeks. cancer sucks - Yes, it does. Buy a shirt from my store, save a life. Thanks to whoever bought shirts last week. Sales are [...]
