I swear, this is not turning into a review blog! There are just some products that don’t fit the bill over there and if I still want to tell you about them this is my only avenue. What do you think of when you hear the name Clorox? Bleach, right? A highly toxic and carcinogenic substance that [...]

Actually, there were many. He sat and snuggled me more today than he has in a month. He reserves most of his snuggles for his beloved Daddy. I even got snuggle time with both kids at once several times today, and a couple of family snuggle times, too! (During one of [...]

Primo and Bella received a copy of That Baby CD and That Baby DVD courtesy of the company and MotherTalk. I have heard nothing but good things about these, so was eager to check them out for myself. As most of you know, my kids are not allowed to watch TV yet (except hockey, because…duh, [...]

I shamelessly thieved the husband meme from Chelle in desperation… How long did you date? Just about 3 years. We met in September 01, moved in together in February 02, got engaged December 02 and got married in July 04. How old is he? 33. I’m 32, but I always forget. Who eats more? Him, most [...]

How is it possible that breastmilk poop (which currently smells very similar to caramel pudding) can leave such a permanent reminder of it’s presence? Bella has some very nice and rather costly clothing, much of which is now poo coloured. When you go eight days between ‘movements,’ there’s a whole heck of a [...]

…and it’s a good thing too, because I’m a little late with this. I was planning to post a little review of my new fave (well, one of twenty faves - I’ll tell you about the rest eventually!) book from Harper Collins, Gorgeously Green, on Earth Day, but forgot until almost midnight. (Great [...]

Dear Primo, Dude – you’re two! I can’t believe I’ve been a Mommy for two years already. You will always be the person who made me a mommy, and that’s the best gift I’ve ever received. You and your sister are the most special people in the world to me and it’s an [...]

Letter coming soon. I promise. Until then, a few images from the party. The only moment when he wasn’t ecstatically happy. Not a huge fan of birthday hats, apparently. Of course, I took a picture before I helped him take it off. The cake, lovingly made by my friend and totally not by me. The reason [...]

As an elementary school teacher I’ve seen my fair share of lice. They like clean hair, not dirty hair. Anyone can get them. If your kids haven’t had them, I hate to tell you this but they probably will. Perhaps repeatedly. And there’s no way around it - they’re freaking [...]

Tomorrow we’re celebrating Primo’s second birthday. Hold me. Thanks to Mom Central, we recently received a box of the new Kellog’s Wild Animal Crunch cereal and the first season of Meerkat Manor on DVD. The answer to the question everyone wants to know? (Well, okay, not everyone. But you do, right?) What do [...]

Dear Bella, You’re three months old and I can hardly believe it. These three months have flown by, as all the others will I’m sure. I can’t believe you’re already ¼ of a year old. That means ¼ of my maternity leave is over too. How sad. Though we hope to [...]

It’s funny. Eat nothing but hot lemon water for a day and your first cup of broth the next day tastes like the best food you’ve ever tasted. Drink broth for a day, and adding a bit of organic crushed tomato to it (for fiber - needed fiber!) feels like a gourmet meal. How’s it going for you [...]

Chelle and You Da Mom are cleansing their colons with me. Doesn’t that sound like fun? I’m going to do this every 3 months and hopefully next time we’ll have even more people join in. Maybe we can even make a button! What exactly would a colon cleansing button look like? DAY [...]

I grew up listening to Abba and have always wanted to see Mamma Mia! We’ve been to a few places where it was playing but my husband thinks it’s “gay - not that there’s anything wrong with that” so I’ve never been able to yet. Some day, maybe! Mom Central has just informed me [...]

This morning I started a very safe breastfeeding friendly cleanse. No pills or weird stuff - just a flush and clean eating. Today I’m on hot water and fresh squeezed lemon juice to flush my system for 24 hours. I’m freaking starving. (Not really - it’s all in my head. [...]

I just got home from Costo with some friends and our gaggle of kids, where an old man said to me about Bella…”He’s a husky little guy, isn’t he?” How much of a he does she look like? And, she’s actually skinny for a baby. He’s gotta be smoking something. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.muchmorethanamom.com%2F2008%2F04%2F11%2Fwacky-tobacky%2F'; [...]

Those of you with two or more kids…how do you post every day? Do you pre-schedule? Do you actually HAVE free time every day to do it? Yikes! I think I’ve got this two kid thing pretty much under control, aside from the blogging. Though if I only had one blog and [...]

I desperately need to update my blogroll (accessible from my right sidebar by clicking on “Cooler People Than Me” under Other Goodies, in case you were wondering…) and I need your help. If you want to be on it, please leave a comment on this post letting me know. Even if you’re already on [...]

When we went to visit our families for Easter, I was able to (finally) get in for a hair cut. My stylist books several months in advance so never has anything open when I find out I’ve got a free hour. A girl I share an ex-boyfriend with (heh) is a stylist and [...]

I don’t have this problem myself, but wanted to post this when I heard about it from Mom Central because I have so many friends who could benefit from this and they read this site. Dare To Wear White is a site that gives options to women with heavy periods that don’t involve a [...]

1. “Dot Com” is an appropriate thing to shout out at random moments. This is according to Primo. 2. Not everyone is as nice as you think. Some people are faking it and are actually complete bitches. They? Are going to hell because karma’s a bitch too. That makes me feel [...]

If you are ever considering switching hosting companies, please consider BlueHost. My TOP problem was fixed promptly and courteously by a techie named Mike, who I called in the middle of the night and spoke to in total non-techie freaking out language. Imagine…”and then the screen went white, and then the thingy changed, and then [...]

Grrr. Chelle designed me a new theme for TOP (based on the current theme she modded for this site - she’s good, no?) and it keeps randomly reverting to the default (aka crappy and ugly) theme. I have no idea why and it does it every hour or so. Sometimes it only [...]

Primo, thank the good bejeebus, has slept through the night in his big bed 3 of the last 4 nights. Also 3 of the last 25, but the former sounds better, no? He’s also been pretty good at either napping or playing in his room for a week or so. Today? Not so [...]
