I feel as though I have neglected this blog over the last few weeks. The truth is I haven't been able to do anything worth blogging about! Not surprisingly, I went into preterm labor and have ended up on bed rest. Which to most people would probably sound like heaven, but I have a nesting instinct so powerful that I'm going out of my mind, and worse still, I can't satisfy it. My husband has been nesting for me.
The pantry has been re-arranged, the house scrubbed from top to bottom and the closets tidied. Dinners have been cooked and laundry has been done, but I am ashamed to say not by me. And he's done a better job of it.
Still, by the end I'll have a beautiful baby girl as well as my handsome little dude and my family will be subjected to my somewhat chaotic housekeeping methods once more. I just hope it's sooner rather than later, I'm going out of my mind.

H1N1
I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted here. I've been horribly ill with the flu and as you can imagine - at 6 months pregnant it's been rough. Thankfully, I'm back on my feet again, ready to take on the world.
In order to make sure that people are aware of the flu symptoms and how they can be managed, I've written a couple of articles that you may find useful:

http://www.examiner.com/x-20546-Hartford-Early-Childhood-Parenting-Examiner~y2009m11d4-Current-H1N1-flu-clinics-in-your-area
I hope you find these useful. It's important to get as much information out there in regards to the flu, even if we've read it a million times. I wouldn't wish the symptoms I had upon my worst enemy (not that I have any!) especially if they were pregnant and trying to take care of an 18 month old.

Chocolate Fudge Brownies
I made brownies this morning, as soon as I got up. What is happening to me?!
I also have this strange need to beach the house from top to bottom. Can anyone explain what is going on here?
Help! I'm nesting and it's driving me crazy! I actually lost sleep last night thinking about the roasted red pepper soup and grilled cheese sandwiches that I'm making for dinner tonight. Is there a cure for this?

The life of a 'work at home mom'.
It's been a long week. The Dude had music class and toddler class, we've taken a tour of daycare (he's going once a week so I can focus on my work now that things are picking up) and we've been to the library, the pediatrician, and the store - Several times.
On top of that, I've been trying to publish an article or two every day, have applied for a couple of jobs and eaten a lot of food - at least every 30 minutes! I feel like I've accomplished a lot in 5 days. Yet, the house still looks like a wreck. In fact, as I type, I'm waiting for the washing machine to finish so I can put the last load on. When did life become so fast-paced? Why do we feel like we have to cram so much into one day?
I've written an article about Fall leaves games and crafts today. I'm ever so proud of it! Check it out and tell me what you think. http://www.examiner.com/x-20546-Hartford-Early-Childhood-Parenting-Examiner~y2009m10d10-Fall-leaves-play-and-craft-ideas
Do you have any games or crafts you like to do with your kids that relate to the Fall season? If so, please drop me a line by posting a comment below. I love to hear from you!

Home-Made Birthday Cards
The Dude has been making home-made birthday cards. We went to the craft store and purchased some blank cards, crayons, finger paints and glitter glue pens. Sure, he's only 18 months old, but that doesn't mean he's not artistic.
Only one problem. He doesn't stop when the paper runs out. This evening I have had to purchase a product called 'Goo be gone' and have sprayed it on just about every surface available in my home. Honestly - I love the stuff. It's a little greasy, but it removes crayon from walls faster than you can say Crayola!
Am I worried about future scribblings? No. I'm not saying I'm happy about the drawing on walls and doors, but at the end of the day, the stuff comes off. Now if there were only a product that helped to erase minor annoyances!
