It’s hard to believe something as basic as sleep could be so confusing and even controversial for moms. You worry about helping babies develop healthy sleeping habits and the ability to get themselves to sleep. With older children, there’s the very real concern that they...

A good nights sleep can be so sweet after over a year of lack of sleep. Granted the amount of sleep has been increasing overtime to an average of 5-6 hours of uninterrupted per night. Monday night Lucas and Brodie fell asleep at 7PM, their usual time. Brodie woke up at 3AM for a...

There is one time of day that I love more than any other: when my daughter falls asleep.
Now, that kinda sounds bad.
This is not my favorite time of day because the house is finally quiet (though she is two...I don't think anyone would really fault my husband and I for wanting some quiet.)...

The past couple of weeks I have re-discovered a lovely thing: sleeping with my husband. Before you click to another blog, I don't mean this in a sexy-time way.
Allow me to explain.
When our daughter was born two years ago, she was just a bit premature, which meant that Kaiser was super...

Today I was the perfect example for my students for why one should think long and hard about having children. Parenthood should not be entered into lightly. One should ask themselves "How much do I like to sleep?" If the answer is anything more than "only a little", run...

I have a lovely child. She is so lovely, in fact, that she sleeps in on the weekends. (I know some people feel anger towards me on this point, which is totally justified.)
Most weekends, I roll out of bed at 8ish, make coffee, check my email. By nine o'clock, I wake up Em. I don't want her to...

Three days and one night in Cool, CA. I was the kitchen coordinator/team support for our cycling race team. Which meant I was responsible for coordinating the kitchen set up and break down, as well as ensuring we had the necessary cooking supplies and gear. I also planned the...

Ever since Brodie started eating solids, his sleep at night has changed for the worse. I went to bed at 8 PM hoping to get some extra sleep, knowing we were probably going to have another sleepless night. Brodie woke up crying at 9:30 PM, 12:30 AM, and 3 AM. Lucas woke up at 4...

It's 5 o'clock Easter Sunday. My twins have already had their baths, they are in their PJ's, and have bellies full of milk. My husband asks, "What is wrong with them?" My reply, "They have the 5 o'clock fussies." I further explained that every day at...

I just have to share the good news. My twins slept through the night. They slept 4 hours, from 7:30 PM - 11:30 PM. Then nursed back to sleep and slept from midnight - 6 AM. I got 8 hours of sleep for the first time in months! I have to enjoy it while it lasts because...

I am sitting here drinking a Virgil's Rootbeer and enjoying a moment of peace and quiet all by myself. The twins are asleep and my husband is out on a night ride. I'm not going to do any more work..at least for the moment. When I say moment, I mean just that. The reality with...

My twins were born 5 1/2 weeks early. While they were newborns it was easy to keep them on the same feeding and sleeping schedule. They seemed to naturally be hungry and sleep at the same time. Now that they are 5 months (adjusted age), they aren't always on the same...
