Must Have Stocking Stuffers
Last week my mom showed you her some of her favorite pics from Christmas 2008, well now it's my turn. Here is what I like to call "Vintage Austin", circa all the way back to 2007. Now THIS is a Christmas picture worth ooh's & aah's. Go ahead, I'll wait. Yes, Silly Mommy thought p

Gettin' Crafty with Twitter
I often see different sites with kid crafts and think to myself 'Oh that would be nice -- or a complete disaster to try with Austin'. Today I was draggin' around, coffee in hand, thinking I need to get ready to go to the craft store and buy some Turkey type craft stuff because Austin needs to make something Thanksgiving-y or I have failed as a mother. Then I was checking Twitter and I saw a post about Thanksgiving baby signs from @ElizabethSigns and promptly taught Austin the sign for Turkey. But we have no Turkey...ugh. Now I really need to get up and go get some Turkey stuff to make this a complete lesson.

Results Not Typical
Does the difference between big promises and reality lie in the messenger or the recipient? I recently attended a very important medical appointment for Austin with my mother. We came away with very different perceptions of what occurred. It is proof enough to me that indeed, you hear what you want to hear. It would seem that one, or both, of us had selective hearing that day. In my opinion, the doctor was a bit overzealous and made some pretty big promises about certain medical advancements and how it could benefit me, Austin and others in my family. The things he mentioned were staggering. While it sounded fan-freakin-tastic I was still skeptical becaus

We have this sign on our stroller: When out and about everywhere from Disneyland to our doctor's offices, I get asked where I got it from. Our sign came in the mail from the makers of Synagis, but you can order them

Being A Patient Advocate - Mom Knows Best
Have you ever wondered what your child's medical chart says about YOU? Does it drive you crazy when the doctor, nurses and therapists call you "Mom", instead of by your name? (or is that just me?) I have quite a "reputation" among Austin's health care providers. Shocking! I know. I am not sure how it all came about, if they each discovered this on their own or if there is a note in his medical
