Q&A 2007-03-29 12:00:47 I have no idea who started this question meme-y thing, but it’s kind of cool. Chelle asks me…
1. Which party moment do you remember the most? Or shall we ask which one would you like to forget? (I suddenly have a flashback to standing in the men’s washroom at the Keg! HAHA! I [...]

Sometimes I’m Such a Moron 2007-04-02 08:01:58 “Can you tell me when my registration is due? I didn’t receive a notice and we’d like to have both vehicles due at the same time,” I asked the nice girl at the registry counter. The BG and I were renewing the registration on the Prelude on his way back to work.

I never thought it would happen to me… 2007-04-03 17:00:01 but I’ve been awarded the Thinking Blogger Award!
My friend Raechelle says:
I am cheating here a little, since I have the honour of knowing her in real life too. She has been an inspiration for me for years. Always driven and strangely over organized, she started with an amazing blog when pregnant with her first son. [...] Read more:thought
It’s Voting Time 2007-04-02 18:56:02 I’ve entered a competition to get paid to blog full time for a year. I entered The Opinionated Parent in the contest since that’s the “full-time gig” but if, by some slim chance, I were to win, I’d be blogging both here and there full time, and with far less miscellany here. And [...] Read more:Voting
Dear Rylan - Eleven Months 2007-04-04 19:32:11 Dear Rylan,
Did you know that eleven plus one is twelve? That means in only one month you’ll be a year old. I truly have no idea how this year passed so fast. I remember so clearly bringing you home from the hospital and having you sleep beside me in your little bassinet. [...] Read more:Eleven

Thirty Two 2007-04-06 00:23:40 Today’s the big guy’s birthday.
I consider myself the luckiest woman in the world to be married to my best friend. He’s the kind of guy that everybody likes. He’s intelligent, strong, kind, gentle, loyal, an amazing husband and father, a smartass to the highest degree, full of integrity, so funny sometimes [...] Read more:Thirty
I’m back. You’re excited, no? 2007-04-10 17:07:20 We’re back from our first Easter as a family of three. We had an awesome time! Poor BG had to work overtime all day Good Friday and Saturday so he joined us on Sunday. Since it’s a 4 day weekend he still had some time to relax and enjoy my mom’s cooking. [...] Read more:excited

Blushing… 2007-04-13 18:33:39 So, um…I got a lovely email this morning.
Apparently, I’m among some pretty amazing company in being nominated for some Blogger’s Choice Awards.
Best Parenting Blog
and *ahem*
Hottest Mommy Blogger

Shut up. I had to. Yes, I’m a hypocrit. And apparently a bitch. 2007-04-15 19:51:32 I searched everywhere for the bins I needed. In a city of this size, there aren’t a lot of options, but I tried Canadian Tire (two of them), Zellers, Home Hardware & Superstore. With much chagrin, I finally went to the dreaded evil empire (yes, four separate links because that’s how bad it [...]
When Bloggers Are Friends 2007-04-17 17:29:56 Leahtard was here yesterday for a visit.
We’re not those cool bloggers that meet online and decide to hook up. We’ve been friends since I was 17. *ahem 14 years ahem* We live about 90 minutes apart and don’t see each other nearly often enough.
Lunch with Leah.

Parenting Lesson #1 2007-04-16 12:00:47 So, Beth can’t moo. While I feel terribly for her, it’s not such a big deal because ‘moo’ is not only a sound, it’s also a word. She can get by with simply saying “moo” or “moo moo” when discussing cows (or playing cow?).
The commenters, however, were rather concerned with their [...] Read more:Parenting
A One Sided Conversation With Rylan 2007-04-18 17:31:19 “Day-Goo” = Thank you!
“Day-Goo” = Hey, look. There’s the sky.
“Day-Goo” = I love my blocks.
“Day-Go” = Here you go.
“Day-Ga” = I’m so happy I could poop!
“Daw-Guh” = There go my crazy dogs again.
“Day-Goo” = I love playing with you, Daddy.

Happy Birthday, Rylan! 2007-04-20 08:01:12 Ed: Posted a day early since his birthday is on a Saturday. Tomorrow’s the big par-tay…can’t wait!
Dear Rylan,
Happy
1st Birthday

Every year on April 21, we will celebrate the fact that you were born. Nothing in the world has ever made us happier. Our family began on the day your daddy [...] Read more:Happy Birthday
Illustrative Example 2007-04-19 20:00:14 Sometimes I harp on you guys about naturals and organics. You know you love it.
I have an example for you to illustrate why you must get all possible chemicals out of your home - especially once you have children.

Gratitude 2007-04-22 12:00:02 Some very inspiring and thoughtful folks are doing this weekly gratitude journal thing and, since I’m such a bandwagon jumper, I’m going to too.
Actually, I once tried to start a gratitude journal, a la Oprah, and I totally suck at journals. I type way faster than I write, so I’m thinking this will work [...]
Weekend Recap - 1st Birthday Edition 2007-04-23 12:00:57 In fine bulleted form…with pics below.
• On Friday night, at 364 days old, Rylan took his first independent steps. Nobody was surprised that food was the motivator. He was lunging toward a spoonful of red pepper hummus.
• The BG and I spent the day before Rylan’s birthday reliving last year with me saying a lot [...] Read more:Weekend

MMTaM Gets Thrifty 2007-04-23 04:34:07 I post very rarely for loudlaunch, because I’m picky about any sponsored posts that I’ll consent to object y’all to. You’re welcome. When they asked me to post this one, I knew you’d like it.

Fearless Friday - Fearful Life 2007-04-27 20:00:52 Today is Mother-Talk’s FearlessFriday
. I had actually forgotten all about it (I’m too busy to remember anything more than to wipe my butt lately) but as I was in the tub reading “Protecting the Gift” I remembered.
I’ve always thought of myself as a fairly fearless woman. The only things I’m really afraid [...]
Double Double Sign Sign 2007-04-26 02:56:50 Liz wrote a while ago about the whole “My child is smart” phenomenon.
(My opinion? They’re all smart in different ways and it’s a parent’s right to brag a little, as long as it’s within reason and you’re not doing it to show up another mother. Don’t be a competi-mama. Ya [...]
On extended breastfeeding 2007-04-24 20:15:20 This video of an obviously ill child (via kind of crunchy mama) and KOCM’s commentary on it got me thinking about extended breastfeeding
. Not that I don’t think about it often. I do. I guess she just got me thinking about blogging about extended breastfeeding!
We’ve official made it to our goal of [...]
Long overdue search string post 2007-05-01 12:00:03 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.

Attitude of Gratitude 2007-04-29 18:44:39 1. I’m thankful, certainly not that Rylan has a nasty cold, but that it hasn’t turned into anything worse and that the miracle of breastmilk cleared up his eye goo without drops.
2. Rylan gave me his cold. For that I am not thankful, but I am pretty darn glad that I only had it [...]
Good Night. 2007-05-04 00:00:19 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 [...] Read more:Night
Attitude of Gratitude 2007-05-06 18:06:01 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 [...]
