Yesterday, Ebony slid down the banister. Paul and I heard some scratching, and we turned around to see Ebbie on the banister, sliding down. I don’t think she realized it was sloped when she got up there. :-) Today after doing some laundry I left the washer open. A little while later, I looked inside and there is Ebony, investigating.

Thanks to the ideas behind FLYLady and her 15-minute principles, I have a…
I am exhausted. I keep telling myself that this is only a fraction of what it will be like with children. My heart goes out to every mother. We’ve had Jera for three days now. That doesn’t seem like a long time when I say it like that, but in my mind I feel like I’ve wrestled with this for years. There is no improvement in the potty training. For some reason, she has it in her head that she…
