I’ve been asked a lot lately how life is treating us with four kids. Well, having four kids (for us anyway) is great and would actually be pretty manageable if the only thing we did around here was raise four kids. Keeping up with anything in addition to raising four kids is where things start...

No Self Control
When it comes to baby monkey, I have no self control. I can’t hold him and not squeeze his pudgy arms and rolly polly thighs. I can’t change his diaper without nibbling on his belly or snacking on his chin. And I can’t put him down for a nap without first testing his best tickle...
Baby-O
What to say about our 4 month old baby monkey? He is everything you’d expect from a baby this age: sweet, chubby, ticklish, adorable, edible. Loving him is so easy and uncomplicated. He doesn’t beg for an iPod touch, for more time on the computer, or to stay up late. His world doesn’t fall apart...
Nutty Monkey Turns FOUR
A birthday at our house is mostly a family affair. As much as I like to plan a party, I don’t love planning one for a bunch of little kids. Seems like the anticipation is always too much and the birthday boy falls to pieces as soon as the party starts, leaving an unhappy birthday...
Oh Dear!
Remember that part of the Home Sweet Home post where I mentioned it might take a few weeks to get settled in? Well, it looks like the comments aren’t working. Thank you so much to those who emailed me to let me know! I’ll get on it right away and let you...

All my typepad posts have been moved over (although the formatting is a...
Bite Size
Friday afternoon I was making a mad scramble to pack and load the monkeys in the car for a quick trip up to my in-laws for an Easter Egg Hunt and Passover Seder (yes, we celebrate both and it’s wonderful. Maybe I’ll blog about it one of these days …) and I walked in on...

Sweet Victory
Last night there was a pretty, ahem, big game on for the folks of our fair city. So big, in fact, that I blew my reputation as the sleep nazi and agreed to let the big monkeys stay up to watch despite a 9:21 pm tip off time. We popped popcorn, loaded up on sugary...
