Back to School
“Even though Mia isn’t in school yet, it feels like back to school for us. We always do crafts where I spend 20 minutes setting up, she spends two minutes making a mess, and then I spend another 20 minutes cleaning up. I hope she’s benefiting from it!”

I Do It, Mommy
“I want to encourage Mia’s independence, but I have to draw the line. I teeter-totter on that edge in the kitchen. I want to teach her to bake, but I have had raw eggs dripping down my countertop and flour flying everywhere.”

Peace and Quiet
“This is my favorite photo so far. I would never do this, but I wish I could. It’s so hard to exercise when she’s knocking me over. I can’t say it hasn’t crossed my mind to have her chill out on the patio and have a moment to myself.”

Sandbox Day
“The times I take my daughter to the sandbox, it’s a nightmare to get sand out of her hair, and I end up vacuuming the car for weeks. Ideally, I’d be able to strip the plastic off and have us be clean when we leave the park. Unfortunately, that’s not a very real option.”

Potheads
“I’ve been encouraging Mia to wear hats, and to get her to do it, we all had to start wearing hats. It’s gotten to the point where she won’t leave the apartment without her hat. Now, everything else has become a hat as well. When we’re playing, anything that could go on her head does. We accessorize our tea parties.”

Mia Gets Dressed
“She’s very particular about what she wears and I try to let her pick out her outfits, but there are some things I have absolutely not let her leave the house with. On days I let her go for it, there are clothes everywhere and a very interesting ensemble.”

One Trip, or Die Trying
“I live in an apartment and from the time Mia was born I have had the dilemma of not wanting to leave her sitting in the car or the apartment alone, while I run back and forth unloading the car. I also do not want to leave my trunk full of produce sitting open in the parking lot, so I carry as much as I possibly can!”
