New Tunes

Since my oldest was born, I have always chosen to listen to "my music" on the radio when we are driving in the car, instead of kid music.  From time to time, I blare my radio when I am cleaning and dance to some catchy tunes in order to make it fun. I also have a number of different ring tones on my phone that are from the latest top radio songs. None of this used to be a problem until recently when I have found my 3 year old asking to listen to, and often randomly singing songs like G6 or Tik Tok.  I'll admit that I don't always pay attention to the lyrics of songs I listen to, but who really notices right?  Wrong!!  Everything that pours into that 3 year old brain is getting absorbed and coming back to haunt me. 

Here's the thing...I find children's music extremely annoying, especially when I only have 1 CD of nursery rhyme songs, that just repeats itself continually.  I want something that is fun for everyone to listen to without being cheesy and annoying.  I would also like to have several options to choose from so I can switch things up from time to time.  So I am asking...no make that begging and pleading, for CD suggestions that have children appropriate but fun music. Anyone have any ideas they want to share?  I think if I have to hear "I'm a little teapot" one more time I'm gonna throw a teapot at someone!!

A New Woman!

Today I feel like a new woman!!! Why, you ask? Well, one reason is because my teething one year old, who had a terrible (with a capitol T) weekend, is much MUCH happier today. Hurray for me and him!!

However, the real reason I feel like a new woman is because my counter went from looking like this:

To this

We are now bottle free in my house!!!!!  I couldn't be happier about the prospect of not washing bottles again for a very long time....or maybe ever.  We'll see.  But still, I am so glad to have my counter back, and have a baby that will now drink from a sippy cup!  Now if we could just get him to gain a little weight...

Happy Monday!

Changes

I've been away for awhile, but I am back and ready to get this blog up and running again!!  A lot has changed since I last posted and I have more questions than ever for all of my friends and fellow mommies out there.  Keep checking back in the next couple of days and help me out on my never ending adventure into The Secret Life of Moms!!
