One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

on
At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

Toddler Tales: If Toddlers Could Talk

on
I just read the most awesome piece on Huffington Post called "The Honest Toddler". It even had the tag line, "Not Potty Trained, Not Trying". 

From what I know it wasn't written by my toddler. However, she does amaze me with newly acquired skills, daily.  Given how precocious she is I would not be at all surprised if she secretly stole my iPad, got a password to Huffington Post, typed a piece and submitted it.

We're blessed that she's a good sleeper.  I am nervous writing that though.  It seems like every time I even think it she wakes up at 5:00 AM in search of a hug, milk, or her doll.  Still, that's only happened a few times since she's turned one. So, we're really fortunate.

I'm not saying that I haven't run into her room frantically in the nude to appease her, but I'm not saying that I haven't either. 

I know that this mothering thing has tested me in ways that I never imagined. Like most moms I have believed that my child was unaware of my faults.  I might be wrong though.  Read the Huffington Post piece.  Apparently, the toddlers are watching and keeping score!
