Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

on
Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

Every Night With a New Baby is a Party

on


I was blessed with a really sweet baby.  However, after she had been home about a week and a half she started to sleep all day and wanted to party at 11 PM, 1 AM, 3 AM, 5 AM and 7AM.  I think that someone told her that her mama used to be a party girl.  They clearly forgot to emphasize “used to be”!


When I was pregnant someone told me to get all of the sleep that I could.  Despite that advice I was not at all prepared for the extent of the sleep deprivation.  It was as if I was in a constant trance.  I slept. I nursed. And I thought about sleeping, nursing and sleep during the "break time". 

All in all, life was good.  I had a healthy baby who was acting like, a baby.  I didn't have anything serious to worry about. 

Eventually though the sleep deprivation, inexperience and anxiety of being a new parent made me more than a little crazy...

I remember those early days, I am actually amazed that I was still able to function with just 2/3 hrs of sleep
