Southwest In Flight Entertainment 2008-04-28 11:38:27 Southwest may be known for it’s no assigned seating, but this week I would have to say that they made their mark on in flight entertainment…On Monday my colleagues and I all departed our homes in-flight to New Mexico. On each our respective flights we all experienced our own in-flight entertainment that just has to be shared.For me the day began with kissing the hubby and seeing my precious Cookie off to school. Of course it also included another visit after the school before I took off. While sitting and waiting for my number to be called, I saw this comical man walk across the airport in a full on WHITE linen suite with WHITE Vans and over sunned face…and all I could think was…Wow Don Johnson in Miami Vice really exist outside of his 1984 NBC timeslot. In my heart of hearts Read more:Southwest

Daddy Boot Camp 2008-04-30 09:44:03 Recently, I took a new job that required me to go out on the road for a few weeks...did I mention in a Row! That meant that the Hubby would officially be signing up for Daddy
Boot camp. I was nervous to say the least. Not because I doubted the Hubby's capability to take care of Cookie, but because this meant I would be away from the family for the first time since Cookies arrival. Needless to say, it would of course consist of me traveling 1,000+ miles away for multiple days and only returning for the weekend. Being a working mom that travels is never easy, the guilt is unbearable, and you never know what may happen while you are away. But, I knew that this time would come, I guess I just didn't want to face the reality of it.The first night away it was like someone ripping my heart out an
What Sisterhood Means To Me 2008-04-30 08:44:33 Sisterhood to me is a bond with girls that goes beyond what a friendship holds; a special connection that only you and your sisters share. There are many late nights, long talks, laughter, and tears that become special memories! In the Fall of 1996 a group of 36 individuals walked the halls of the AXO house together to take a pledge. At that moment we had no idea what the future would hold. However, we did know that there would always be a group of people out there who would love and support each other no matter what and would always be by each other's side no matter how many miles kept us apart after our college days. Now ten years have come and gone since that Fall night and I am proud to say that the bond of our sisterhood is stronger than ever. We have shared tears of joy and heartache Read more:Means
Mom Song 2008-05-09 08:25:47 I could not have sung this any better. Happy Mother's Day to all of you Rookie and Veteran Mom's! May you all be able to sleep in on Sunday morning, be pampered all day long and most importantly DO NOTHING!

Relief in A Bottle 2008-06-04 08:42:21 Our little Cookie is teething like a mad woman and we have tried everything from orajel to every teething ring out on the market. Just when we thought her days of sleeping through the night were over we found the perfect solution...These little tablets are Relief in a Bottle! Two little tabs and a big TX size bottle and Cookie was off to dreamland. I would highly recommend these tablets to any Roo

They Said What? 2008-06-05 14:50:09 Disclaimer: This Rookie Mom is NOT political and does not welcome Politics at her dinner table, but she does enjoy a good laugh and roll of the eyes at our Politician’s expense. Over the past [way too many to mention] months our media has been [excessively] covering the Political debates. From Obama to Hillary to McCain, they have all managed to make themselves a household name with their kid li

To Bow or Not To Bow 2008-06-10 09:55:19 There has been the ongoing debate in the Cook household pertaining to bow or not to bow...I feel all little girls should accessorize (regardless if they are less than one) however, the hubby has a different opinion...yep you guessed it the complete opposite.This morning in my Rookie Mom mind I hit a milestone in the fact that I could bundle Cookie's fine little hair into a nice little up do. I was

Bath Time Juggling 2008-06-13 12:30:03 Cookie loves her bath time and loves the foam letters that I found at Wal-Mart. She is discovering a new talent, bath time juggling. Last night she managed to hold a letter in each hand a number in her mouth, how's that for getting down the fundamentals first. Now if she could only get them going up in the air. I guess she should take some juggling lessons from her Daddy. Betcha' didn't know that
Rep By Day...Dentist By Night 2008-06-13 12:29:11 With the explosion of Cookie's new teeth, we now have incorporated in a little brushing. Daddy did a super job brushing her chompers and they had the best time doing it.... Read more:Night

Calculator of All Calculators 2008-07-08 17:34:53 Shannon over at Rocks in My Dryer posted a great conversation starter that we have asked at least once in our Mommy Careers...How much to pay a sitter.When the Hubby and I decided that it was time to venture into the world of date nights, we dusted off our dancing shoes, combed our hair and put on an outfit that didn't have the baby couture label (La Enfamil). Only one obstacle stood in our way, t Read more:Calculator
