recently i’ve noticed that Zander’s hair has been getting really coarse and dry…like straw. it didn’t take me long to realize that i’m a dolt. you see, we were instructed by my dermatologist to use Dove Baby Wash on the boys because of their eczema. we’ve using it for over a year now, and it’s [...]

every couple of days i clip the boys’ fingernails. i clip, and then i file…and i file and i file away any sharp edges and corners. and then i file some more. why? because they both have eczema and are crazy allergic to….everything…nothing…who knows. what can happen if i forget to do it on time?

We have been waiting on pins and needles for over 3 weeks for results from Zander’s blood tests. Well, the wait ended today…we finally got the phone call from the pediatrician’s office. The main reason the blood work was done was to confirm that Zander’s iron deficiency had indeed returned, and to find out what [...]

Hubby made dinner last night. We had our first corn-on-the-cob of the season. It was delicious. Of course, it wouldn’t be dinnertime in our house without shenanigans and goings-on! hubby: (as I’m about to take my first bite from the cob) I hope it’s completely cooked…I boiled them for 5 minutes. me: 5 minutes should [...]

There’s a new sheriff in town, and his name would be Zander. He’s tough, he’s not always fair and he takes no prisoners. You see, my dear little Zander has learned a new phrase…from who, I’m sure I have no idea! This phrase would be “Stop Logan, NOW!”…although he does mix it up now and [...]
