100 Days

Today is the 100th day of school for my child.  To mark the occasion she and her classmates were asked to bring in 100 of their favorite items. Yes, the assignment that parents from coast-to-coast dread each year. It’s even more dreadful when your kid reminds you that she needs said items two hours before they’re due. So, you run around like a nutcase looking for 100 what to cram into a Ziploc bag? Cheerios, LEGOs, coffee beans… blood, sweat, tears? When all is said and done, hopefully you remember to snap a photo of your kid holding up his … Continue reading →

The lawsuit was actually born when Erin Moran called CBS in 2002 to see how much money she was owed in merchandising royalties because their contracts stated … Continue reading →

As the week progressed, I decided to stop nursing completely during the day and just offer the bottle. I watched as during the week, he gradually took more and more each day. I was thrilled. And, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Some changes I have noticed are first and foremost the bowel movements. He slowed down a lot, and by the end of the week, had gone two days without one!! … Continue reading →
