I Do Not Understand What You Do Not Understand

I’m dedicating this post to my best friend, who will be an excellent doctor one day but for now must suffer through pre-med frustrations, one of which provided the above topic. She sent me an email of the same header, a direct quote from her Physics tutor that she knew I would find hilarious because [...]

Green-eyed Monsters and PB Cookies

The green-eyed monster has reared its adorable head. Mumu is a chronically cute yet impossibly jealous little beast. She cannot stand her twinnie getting any attention whatsoever and its becoming quite a problem. I can’t say its come on out of the blue. If I’m honest, they’ve been competing for attention since they were under [...]

The Nursery Closet Catastrophe

We’re building the largest closet on the island, and the tragedy is its not mine. We didn’t plan on building the closets to end all closets in the nursery, we are doing it out of necessity because my Father in law did a real bonehead thing. A bonehead thing to end all bonehead things. [...]

Loving One Twin More

Papaya is certainly the baby food hit of the mouth. The twins find it so delicious they feel the need to share it not only their mouths, but their cheeks, foreheads, ears (especially), hands, feet, fontanels, the floor, the cabinets, and the ceiling. I feel like I’m re-living the linguine scene from Baby Boom. Okay, [...]

Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but in our house we’ve been celebrating it for months. Not a day goes by that I don’t pass by the nursery and hear my little scallywags commenting on their  booty, though the booty they bury is nothing you’d want to dig up. Some babies coo, ours [...]

Why Can’t Diapers Smell like Flowers?

Oh how I long for the days of breast milk, when my twins diapers smelled of lollipops and honeysuckle. Compared to what I’m confronted with now, the breast milk dipes of yesterday were Chanel #5. Now I get spackle so thick I could plug my walls with it. Spackle that smells twice as toxic [...]

The Honey tastes like Orchids

The honey tastes like orchids. Its divine. I bought it at the farmers market on Saturday for 5 bucks. It was the most expensive thing I bought. There are some cutesy honey sellers at the market, and I don’t go for those. No little labels with kitschy names or terrible puns for me. I like [...]

Bayesian Statistics of Pregnancy Tests and Pony Betting

In today’s blog, Junglemom will not be discussing baby neck cheese, elitist diapers, or the rampant pineapple thievery going on in her neighborhood. If you’ve come looking for cute anecdotes about flying cockroaches, my neighbor’s psychotic dogs, or the way my twin baby girls talk like pirates with emphysema, you’ve come on the wrong day [...]

Its official, I’m selling Lulu to the gypsies

Okay not really, but after the night I had last night, I don’t think you could blame me for trading her in for some gypsy “lucky heather.” That baby of mine. Good Grief. I put her to bed with her twinnie Mumu at 7, the same time they go to bed every night, the same [...]
