Oh where, oh where has my little blog gone?

Corny, I know! For those of you who are among my devoted followers (ha,ha), I assure you I will blog regularly again someday… I’m still dealing with the fallout from my daycare inspection (amongst other things) and have ZEEERRROOOO time for indepth blogging. Alas, I do miss it. I also haven’t worked on [...]


And the verdict is…

it was a HORRIBLE day!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel better now. Over-sleeping, running late, daycare survey (she was less than pleased with the state of our home as it is under construction… sigh.)

I managed to catch just a few winks, it seems…
Alas, in the morning my head pounds and aches,

Okay, enough dramatics! As many of you know, we have been remodeling our house [...]


A Day in the Life of Melanie

So every morning I am crazy enough to open my home to a dozen or so children… If this sounds insane to you– it is!! I have been in the daycare business since Noah was about 4 months old. Wow! Going from banking to childcare is a BIG change. You learn things– and you learn [...]


First Blog, YAY!!!

So this is my first official blog on our family website. I’m very excited to be blogging, though at times I have a tendency to ramble– I will try to reign myself in so that no one will get bored!! This is a very hectic time for our family… I could go into [...]
