A representation of a real conversation with B the other night:
B - "MOM! Can I have some sugar?" pause "Please."
Me - no response as I try to figure out what she is up to.
B - "MOM! Can I PLEASE have some sugar?"
Me - "Why do you want sugar?"
B - "Well because bugs like sugar and I need to catch some for school, so I want to put sugar on the driveway to catch the bugs."
Me - "uh well...uh..." I'm stalling because I'm in the middle of trying to cook. My eyes land on a piece of half eaten toast on a plate on the table. "Why don't you take that piece of toast right there? Ants love toast."
B - "Really? Do ants REALLY like toast?" She's giving me the look of a skeptic. I know it well.
Me - "Yes. They do. AND because it is half-eaten, they will know it is good toast and want it even more."
B - She eyeballs me doubtfully, but she takes the toast out the door and yells "Thanks!" on her way out.
So was that a mom Win or Fail?

This blog started out focused on my TTC Journey(trying to conceive) with our first child. We succeeded and I blogged my way through pregnancy and I've been blogging about motherhood and life in general since then. I'm sharing my innermost thoughts here along with notes on day to day life. One day I know my written words will mean a lot to me when these days are but a memory. I've come full circle and now I'm back on the TTC rollercoaster again, hoping for a second baby someday soon.

About Me
- Krista
- I'm just your average 33 year old married chick. My husband and I were married 13+ years ago and we have an amazing daughter, Brooklynn, who was born in December 2006. I work full time outside the home, but I love spending time with my friends and family more than anything. We have 3 dachshunds a rabbit and some fish in our little family. I'm also a research nerd and read way more non-fiction than can possibly be healthy in my quests for new information.
