A new car seat already?

Nicole McMullin

May 06, 2008 10:09 AM

It’s time to upgrade to a convertible seat - and my “thank you for being a citizen and paying your taxes” bonus rebate cannot arrive soon enough. Seriously, the convertible car seat that appears to rate highest with users (Britax) costs almost $300!

Arm missing; I think it’s in West Virginia

Nicole McMullin

April 30, 2008 3:37 PM

Unable to otherwise solve my child care issues this week, I had to leave my 8 month old daughter with my mother five hours away in another state. I feel like I left an arm behind as well.

I salute the mommy bloggers and their wonderous time management skills

Nicole McMullin

April 25, 2008 3:36 AM

It sounded great – a new baby and a new blog to write about our experiences – but it’s been a challenge. If there’s any question, just look at the last time I had the chance to post an entry.

What’s the timeline on push presents?

Nicole McMullin

April 08, 2008 10:28 PM

I didn’t learn about push presents until Sophia was born and am still undecided as to whether I think they’re OK or not. I’m not the type of girl who turns down jewelry, or any gift for that matter, but something about push presents doesn’t agree with me.

Sorry, kid, but it appears that I am Big Brother

Nicole McMullin

March 04, 2008 2:27 AM

I am watching my 6 month old on a handheld portable video monitor. It’s black and white but has sound. Right now, she’s staring back at me. Are parents like me responsible for the reality television, broadcast yourself phenomenon? Our children have cameras in their face before they know they have cameras in their face.

Perhaps you know me from my previous parenting blog

Nicole McMullin

February 25, 2008 12:20 PM

If you know me or have read my blog it will come to no surprise that this blog has moved to a new address. It’s just me way these days. I promise that I will be as witty and confused as ever, I’ll just be doing it on this domain from now on.

The large itchy child belongs to me (and I love her)

Nicole McMullin

February 25, 2008 11:53 AM

This is my family. We’re red, itchy and bloated and we carry many products. I would like to think we’re normal and other families have dry skin ointments and medicine droppers hidden in those large diaper bags as well.
