ZoesMom: December 2012

http://zoesmom.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Thoughts, ramblings, lots of Zoe. Its been two weeks since my life and my whole families lives were completely rocked by the shootings in Newtown. I can't quite believe it has only been two weeks. It feels like so much longer, but I am no closer to understanding or to feeling like some change has been enacted to prevent this. I know that both of those things are a long way off if they are even possible. A quick update on my family. It has been awhile. And for so little effort, it is a double bonus. I hav...

Thoughts, ramblings, lots of Zoe. Sad, Sad, Sad. Sad fact #1: I missed my blogiversary! April 13, 2012 marked the 7th anniversary of ZoesMom.

ZoesMom: September 2012

http://zoesmom.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Thoughts, ramblings, lots of Zoe. Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. The truth is I was almost killed by work, but I managed to pull through and survive. I don't even care to re-hash, but I did learn some really good lessons in the last 6 months or so. I'll share them with you now:. It is possible to spend multiple workdays simply answering emails as they come in. At the end of those days you are exhausted, but feel you've accomplished exactly nothing. Jellybeans can be taken medicinally.

ZoesMom: October 2011

http://zoesmom.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Thoughts, ramblings, lots of Zoe. I received this book from LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program. Is an interesting, sarcastic, humorous, and slightly depressing look at both modern fatherhood and modern parenting. Josh, our hero, is a stay-at-home Dad, or as he calls it a SAHD and the book tells the story of one tumultuous day in his life with two young children. Overall this is a thoughtful and enjoyable book that I think any parent can appreciate. I felt I had to share such good news. Lucky me. ...

ZoesMom: January 2012

http://zoesmom.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Thoughts, ramblings, lots of Zoe. Tuesday Shoesday: New Kicks for Zoe. The other day Zoe said to me, "Mom, a bunch of kids at school have these sneakers I really like." Then she paused and said quite sheepishly, "Can I get a pair? As if she was afraid to ask. She should know that I recognize the importance of the right pair of shoes. I was a little disappointed in her at that moment, but I got over it and I said of course she could have the cool sneakers. The next morning I happened to get an email from ...

ZoesMom: May 2012

http://zoesmom.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Thoughts, ramblings, lots of Zoe. On being a pin cushion. Let me start this off by saying I am fine now. I am on the mend and will be good as new in no time. On Monday I was scheduled for a minor surgical procedure much like the one I had last summer. Since that procedure went so easily I really wasn't concerned about this one and was really just annoyed by the inconvenience and timing since work is so crazy right now. Gregory = friend = Bluedog.

ZoesMom: September 2011

http://zoesmom.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Thoughts, ramblings, lots of Zoe. I was hoping yo buy a costume this weekend, but now I'm not so sure. . 9 Years and Growing Fast. The change from baby to toddler and toddler to kid are obvious, marked changes, but the change from little kid to just plain kid happens so slowly that you don't notice it until one day you're folding laundry and you realize that your daughter's t-shirts aren't much smaller than your own. Zoe and the Babysitter. Here's the video (which, I think is funny if you are 9):. OK, so...

ZoesMom: This is your brain on motherhood

http://zoesmom.blogspot.com/2005/05/this-is-your-brain-on-motherhood.html

Thoughts, ramblings, lots of Zoe. This is your brain on motherhood. All week I have been meaning to write about the op-ed piece that appeared in the. On Sunday "This Is Your Brain on Motherhood." Aptly it appeared on Mother's day written by Katherine Ellison. She discusses the common myth that modern-day parenting somehow makes you stupid and points out the dangers of expressions like "pregnancy brain" especially in the workplace. The meat of the piece starts with this:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

ZoesMom: March 2012

http://zoesmom.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Thoughts, ramblings, lots of Zoe. A Decade of Zoe. In honor of Zoe's 10th birthday, I've decided to post 10 pictures of Zoe from her first year. (Mostly because I couldn't choose only one.). That might be more than 10, I lost count. But can you believe that baby turned into this girl? HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY ZOE! Rob hates when I blog about him. Eleven Questions Meme Part 2.
