I only grew up with two grandparents — both passing away before I was a sophmore in high school. It actually doesn’t have much to do with them being older, they all died before the age of 75 (two in their 50s!). Still, the fact that Noah has five energetic, long-life-ahead-of-them grandparents is incredible….

Mini Warbler Makes My Day
I’m having an extremely busy day, so my original post idea will have to be bumped to tomorrow. But in the meantime, let’s just talk about how ridiculously cute this is. I think I just found Noah’s Halloween costume: Apparently this Mini Warbler had a previous viral video with his rendition of “Teenage Dream.”…
Happy Weekend!
I meant to write this post this morning — I tried, at least — but Noah crawled onto my lap, shut the computer and said “No work today, Mommy. Noah time.” How do you argue with that? So we went out to breakfast (where Noah commented that everything was “so pretty!” — from the…
The Cutest Way to Cuddle Your Baby
I always love hearing about women who started having children at a young age and went on to be wildly successful. Proof that it can be done. And Alessandra, the mom behind Lala’s Pequenos, is more known for her luxuriously soft, unique, swaddle-type Noonies than her role as a mother, yet she was an…

Reason #3: No Ticking Biological Clock
Our next reason for why we love being early moms: There’s no biological clock ticking in the back of our minds. In this respect, we’re actually quite lucky. Think about it: If you didn’t have your own little bundle(s), wouldn’t you be a teeny bit stressed about what ifs? Maybe not in an obvious way,…
Happy (Father’s Day) Weekend!
Happy weekend, everyone! Especially to all of the Daddies (and Grand-Daddies) out there celebrating Father’s Day. I’m not exactly sure what we have planned this weekend, except more apartment renovation and much-needed family time. In honor of the upcoming holiday, here are some dad-centric links to look over: This is very much the father-son…
