Simplified Mom: July 2010
http://simplifiedmom.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Sharing Baby Advice and Laughs. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Friday we went to the beach. Saturday we were lazy and stayed in. And on Sunday, we went to a party with a pool! Here's evidence of Ada's first dip in a pool. A big thanks go to Rick, Heather, Ba and Rich for humoring Ada's love of the water and her persistent. Pleas for being tossed. Hanging out poolside, literally, cuddled in the shade with baby Iain. Sorry for cursing at you DD.). Thanks also go to Rick for running late, and to Iain for decidin...

Previous post: grilled eggplant with caponata salsa. Next post: chocolate peanut butter cake. How to poach an egg, smitten kitchen-style. August 8, 2008. August 6, 2016. Jump to recipe,. I am tortured by two opposing forces in my life: the fact that I love poached eggs–on anything and everything, from asparagus to slow-roasted slices of tomato, crisped cups of Canadian bacon, black bread, I could keep going… — and the fact that I’m terrible at making them. And this is why it is so. How to Poach an Egg.

Simplified Mom: June 2010
http://simplifiedmom.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sharing Baby Advice and Laughs. Monday, June 28, 2010. Somehow in all of the chaos of April, I missed a very important event. The death of Michael Jackson and Ada's subsequent tribute to the King of Pop. On the way to cousin Viktor's. Baptism, Ada grabbed one of her white gloves as we were leaving the house and put it on. Random. Even more random since the match to the white glove went missing months ago. Or was it random? As it turns out, the glove does sparkle a little bit, and it is white. Our parents...

Simplified Mom: March 2011
http://simplifiedmom.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sharing Baby Advice and Laughs. Thursday, March 24, 2011. Dollars, Euros, Yen, or Tickles? Things haven’t been going very smoothly these past few weeks. Ada hasn’t been cooperative at all. I have been stressed out and distracted. She has wanted all of my attention and I have wanted to give her a lot less than that. It was a recipe for disaster. Major meltdown was exactly what we got. And I do mean “we”. Unfortunately, that applies to Ada too. So why do I yell? It was completely my fault. I got distra...

Simplified Mom: May 2010
http://simplifiedmom.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sharing Baby Advice and Laughs. Friday, May 28, 2010. Men don't have the same issues women have when reading novels for pleasure. This thought broadsided me last night as, here I am, super pregnant, hormonal, and trying to read for relaxation. My guard is down. I'm emotional. There are only so many things you can do to stay entertained while propping your swollen pregnant feet up on the couch after a long day. I've also got knitting, watching movies, and the occasional. The reason I say this is a bigger ...

Simplified Mom: September 2010
http://simplifiedmom.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sharing Baby Advice and Laughs. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Three years ago I had a life. Then we had Ada and things changed. We got new friends and saw our old friends a bit less often. We didn't go out much and the idea of taking a vacation was shelved. We gained family obligations, playdates, and babysitting swaps. WE did more laundry and tripped over more toys. We took on the role of parents and all of the responsibilities that went with it. Monday, September 20, 2010. No cheating. Here are the...

Simplified Mom: August 2010
http://simplifiedmom.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sharing Baby Advice and Laughs. Monday, August 23, 2010. Had to clean house or do dishes. Then next morning, our exhausted munchkins slept in and let us sleep in too. It was so nice. Is it any wonder that we are hoping to make it a standing monthly date? Moral of the story: Just because you have kids, doesn't mean you can't be social or that you have to pay a lot to have fun. You just have to be open to new things and get more creative. Filled with movies and a cushy. Neck pillow. But I can't imagine...

Simplified Mom: The Sticker Chart
http://simplifiedmom.blogspot.com/2011/04/sticker-chart.html
Sharing Baby Advice and Laughs. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Disciplining a child sucked. It wasn't fun. It often didn't actually work and just frustrated everyone involved. I was a firm believer that discipline was a form of teaching and didn't have to always be negative. Unfortunately, Ada entered a stage where she didn't want to do anything we said. Every other word from her mouth was "No! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ada at 3, Iain at 7 Months. Everyday Adventures in the City Blog.

Sharing Baby Advice and Laughs. Tuesday, October 26, 2010. To Grandmothers We Go. Moral of the story: Passing off your child into someone else's care isn't easy. Doing it at the last minute makes it even more stressful so try to start off easy and build. And consider bringing items the baby is used to like a swaddler, blanket, and Pack 'n Play. Monday, October 25, 2010. It's also proof that Ada does kind of, sort of like him, maybe just a little bit. Don't Pump and Dump? Sunday, October 24, 2010. Clearly...
