Suffering from colds throughout the winter is nothing new. We all get them and unfortunately, so do our little angels. Often, I find it is usually someone else’s darling that infects my family with some plague. It all started with a fun two-year-olds birthday party and ends with baby-man getting pneumonia.

Last Sunday we had more than lots of fun at the big birthday bash. Except for the moment when snot nosed little kid (really, the boogers were running out) hit baby-man in the...

It was a normal evening, Daddy-man and I are making dinner and Baby-man is busy being little chef when out of the corner of my eye I see Baby-man playing with the lazy Suzanne, obviously needed more spices.

It may be because 2007 is coming to a close or maybe just because I am a new parent, but it seems that the issue of losing friends after baby has been a recurring theme I've encountered over the past few weeks.
