Do humidifiers cause our kids to get sick?

  • 2 Mar, 2011

Do you have a humidifier in your kids room? When is the last time you cleaned it? If you’re anything like us, it’s probably not been cleaned in a long time. And that’s not good. Lily’s humidifier was a year old and I don’t think we ever cleaned it. We only use it in the […]

Lily’s rash was an allergic reaction.

  • 21 Feb, 2011

We took Lily into her 18 month checkup today and asked about her rash. Turns out it’s more than likely from the amoxicillin that she was on for her bronchitis. It should clear up in a few days. We’re not sure if she’ll be allergic to amoxicillin forever, or if it’s just a temporary thing. […]

I like driving on snow covered roads because you can drive anywhere.

  • 21 Feb, 2011

The roads are ice and snow-covered and you know what that means? No lines! It’s one of the few times you can swerve into the other lane, then back. Onto the shoulder and back. Over and over again, and no one thinks twice. Since you can’t see the lines, it’s all good! Most of the […]

We’ve got dots! Lots of dots!

  • 20 Feb, 2011

Not sure what’s going on now, but Lily’s latest item is a rash; lots and lots of little red dots. There are no sores, no blisters and it’s not itchy. Lily is pretty happy otherwise so we’re not freaking out just yet. Tomorrow she has her 18 month checkup so she’ll be into the doctor’s […]

We now own a snow blower.

  • 19 Feb, 2011

It took many years and many feet of snow, but I’ve finally given in and we got our first snow blower. I picked it up at Lowe’s earlier today and it barely fit into my car. But it rode in the passenger’s seat quite nicely. It turns out snow blowers are harder to find in […]

I ordered a few things from Amazon the other day and they decided to ship them to me in three different packages so that I could get them sooner; which was really nice since I didn’t have to pay more. On Feb 9th I got notice that package 1 shipped. Feb 12th package 2 shipped. […]
