I have so many parenting books, I think I could rent out a shelf at Barnes and Noble. There are a bunch that I’ve decided I’m officially done with. They are good, but not appropriate for me anymore! 1. What To Expect When You’re Expecting 2. Parenting Baby Must-Haves 3. The ABCs of Breastfeeding 4. The Nursing Mother’s Companion 5. The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems 6. Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child 7. Baby Signs... 

Mommy, I am going to climb up this ladder all by myself. Look at me. I am going. I am climbing. Ohhhh, this is not as easy I as thought it would be. Can you just pick me up and put me on the slide so I can go down. Oh forget it, I am going to do this. I got this. Yeah, watch me, Mommy. Looook!  Read More →

Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could magically shrink our hips right back to pre-pregnancy size or even smaller? Well apparently with Shrinkx you can. I have a serious problem with the picture they show on their page. Have they ever seen a brand new mother? Sorry, but she certainly doesn’t look like the woman they have modeling their product.  Read More →

Hello to my friends both new and old. It has been a while since we’ve last spoken. I wanted to check in and let you know that Baby Talkers is still here, alive and kicking. We are not going anywhere. In fact, we have a new focus for the upcoming year. I know everyone loves a good change and hopefully that is what  Read More →

Jax and I are sitting in bed watching The Backyardigans and eating Cheerios. He has a small bowl and I have a big bowl. He says to me “Hey, why do you have a big bowl? Why don’t I get the big bowl?” So I responded “Look at the size of me compared to you.” And he says “Because you are bigger, you …  Read More →

Have you ever really thought about all the gross and/or somewhat disturbing things that babies get away with while we absolutely cannot? We think they are funny because babies are so cute, but really…… Drooling all over themselves and everything within reach Farting loudly Pooping (and peeing) their pants Tasting everything and only a fraction of it is actually food Throwing food Eating off the floor Eating straight from the table... 

Yes, I give up. I can’t do it. I can’t sit here and keep track of what I eat all day and document how much I exercise (or don’t because I don’t) because it’s a joke. Life gets in the way and I’m too stressed out and tired to not give in to what I want to eat. Because I want to enjoy icecream with my son. And I want to be able to eat those rice crispies mixed with melted marshmellows and the best Jimmy John&#…  Read More →

If the title gives you any indication on how I’ve been doing….yeah. Let’s just say that OCBG is on a break. Not to worry, I will be back in full force beginning next week, new picture and all  Read More →

Ever since my friend, Hannah , stepped into the gym with her cool looking  MBT Shoes and raved about their health and body-toning benefits, I have been obsessed. If it weren’t for the steep price tag and the fact that I had just gotten a brand new pair of orange pumas, I would have been sporting those puppies months ago.  Read More →

It’s pointless to share the past few days with you, but since you’re following, I will.  Read More →

So this diet thing just isn’t working out too well for me. I am all about the exercising, which is way more important in my opinion, than some fad diet, but it sucks that I haven’t lost any weight yet  Read More →

Looking out from where I stand, it is so big, so new, so curious. Look at the blue sky and all those puffy white clouds  Read More →

I keep talking about how tired I am and I finally realized why in addition to the exercise and limited food intake, I feel like I am going to collapse from exhaustion several times throughout the day. Jett has been teething and I didn’t even know it  Read More →

Today’s entry is going to be short.  Read More →

I felt way more energized today! I took a step plus ab workout class this morning that kicked my butt. It was an hour long and my shirt was soaked. I haven’t worked out that hard in ages and it felt great! Can’t wait to do it again  Read More →
