What to say to your 3 year old when she uses the word ‘certainly’….as in, “My feet certainly are itchy”. I love this brand new territory! I never, ever, know what is going to come out of ther mouth. I realize it is not the most amazing word, but definitely impressive when used [...]

Ok…tell me you have had a moment like this….
I’m having lunch in a sandwich shop with my family and 2 of our friends. I see a young couple, clearly first-time parents. They are carrying a baby in a pumpkin seat. They grab a standard high chair and proceed to try to balance the pumpkin seat on [...]

I am shiny and clear. At least that is what one friend told me today. As an early birthday present, she made me a bracelet. It has all clear beads with one seashell (a shout-out to the California girl in me). So, she made this gift with the idea that I am ’shiny and clear’ floating around in her [...]

Yes…that is her nickname. My three year old, Delaney, has many pet names, but ‘Sassy’ seems to fit her best. And, I kind of like it. It fits her. She is all Sass.

It is late….1:30am almost, and quite frankly, I’m exhausted. But there is something truly peaceful about being up so late. It feels as though I have the whole world to myself. Ok..maybe not the whole world, but at least my little office!
I have been working diligently to update my website. ExtraordinaryMommy.com has a piece of [...]
