JenStar and her SeidmEn. The family adventures of Jen, Mark and Mercer.from Jen's perspective. Monday, February 20, 2012. Jail Break.Mercer escapes his crib. There are some days that Mercer is against napping. Sunday was one of those days. And Sunday was the day that he decided to do something about it. Apparently, Mercer is already tired of us living vicariosuly through him (oh, he's going to hate me when he starts pee wee football). We put Mercer to nap in his crib and closed the door. Not even five mi...

JenStar and her SeidmEn. The family adventures of Jen, Mark and Mercer.from Jen's perspective. Sunday, June 19, 2011. Walk Like a Man. On June 14th, Mark picked Mercer up from daycare and was greeted by our very bubbly daycare ladies gushing over the fact that Mercer had walked that day. I can picture them running up to Mark with a huge smile and with rapid-fire delivery, faster than even I can talk, saying, "It was only for like 5 seconds, but he finally walked.we're so proud of him". First video captur...

JenStar and her SeidmEn. The family adventures of Jen, Mark and Mercer.from Jen's perspective. Thursday, January 5, 2012. December Posts 1 of 3: It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Cause it's my birthday. For those of you who know me, my birthday is kind of a BFD (big f*cking deal). Everyone always asks whether I get jipped because I was born so close to Christmas. And I respond with a resonating, “No”. I loved being a December baby and still do! The whole month is one big party:. Naps in the limo.

December Posts 3 of 3: Going to the Chapel. 8230;and we’re going to FLOR-I-DA. We left NJ in a sea of hugs, kisses and tears (Great Fairy Godmother, our family crier), with Mercer saying, “Bye Bye Airport”. Many thanks to Auntie Fran who suggested that we always keep a plastic bag handy. Sure If the hotel had bathtubs. The Hyatt Place. We clean up nicely - Photo credit - SC. The newly...

My People.My Flock.My Blog-o-sphere.I can hardly believe what happened to me over the past two weeks. BOTH of my Grandmas came to visit me. GrandmaS (with an "s"). PLURAL, as in TWO. I have two Grandmas! Do you know what this means, folks? I could listen to that for hours and I'm pretty sure that Grandma could, too (especially if I was singing it). It's a really ...

Grandmom Lorraine: "Mercer spit up today". He never does that.". Grandmom Lorraine: "Yea.Maybe I squeezed him to hard.I don't know.". Reminds me of that scene from "Of Mice and Men" with Lenny and the Bunny. Luckily Mermie survived - he loves Grandmom squeezes! Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Cirque de la Junk.

JenStar & her SeidmEn: August 2011

JenStar and her SeidmEn. The family adventures of Jen, Mark and Mercer.from Jen's perspective. Monday, August 29, 2011. Just Me and My Boy. I sometimes get so caught up in wanting to do things "as a family" that I forget how important it is to also foster my relationship with Mercer, alone, as his Momma. The above, all came together in my mind after this past weekend as Mark and I, both, got to spend some one-on-one time with Mercer. Mercer, what does a bear say? Mercer is also a total “man” ...I didn...

JenStar and her SeidmEn. The family adventures of Jen, Mark and Mercer.from Jen's perspective. Saturday, January 21, 2012. It’s never too late in the year to make resolutions, right? And while I’m sure that I should resolve to make some of the more popular ones ("dropping the trailer", as my father would say). The one that I’m making to myself is to write more. But, while re-reading JenStar and her SeidmEn, it made me realize that the following:. I can’t spell. I can’t edit. I like run-on sentences.

JenStar and her SeidmEn. The family adventures of Jen, Mark and Mercer.from Jen's perspective. Saturday, October 29, 2011. My grandfather, Mercer's great-grandfather passed away this week. Mark held down the home front and I flew back to NJ to be with family. Death is never easy, but in the state that Grandpop was in, peace was welcome. I was asked by my Dad to write and then deliver my Grandfather's eulogy and below is what I came up with. 4 Generations - July 2010. Great Grandparents - July 2010. Let&#...
