What matters right now is that at Casa Ferguson, my popcorn is perfect, the acoustics are great, I am always happy with my wardrobe choice and I get to crawl in bed immediately after the conclusion of the show.
I learned very quickly that it was necessary for me to be the unpaid referee….without swift adult intervention, these episodes would often end with someone crying
I quickly realized that I helped to create picky eaters, people who refused to eat the things my husband and I enjoyed. Why wouldn’t this picky one year old eat this freshly blended organic green beans and avocado?
I will sheepishly admit that on more than one occasion, my 3 children have all gone to bed after my husband and myself. They are between the ages of 8-12. It’s called survival folks—pure and unadulterated life survival skills of 2020-2021. No judgement please.
I was knee deep in being a boy mom when at the ripe age of 38, I found out I was expecting…I finally fessed up around my 5th month of pregnancy
I thought I was ready…One of our biggest fears was losing water or suffering from a burst pipe. We did indeed experience one of the two, we lost water.
I decided to try to find a way to adopt a rescue pug (middle child’s favorite dog) if it was possible. So, what is the best way to effectively research all one needs to know about adopting and caring for a pug appropriately?
So, it has been quite a while since I’ve posted my last article. Nine years to be exact. Enough time to get pregnant and have a daughter who is now 8 years old. Never in my wildest dreams did I think motherhood could get any harder than it already was.
Overall I have to say that the party was a success and I am glad to have one milestone completed. Despite all the stress that I placed upon myself for this celebration, it turned out to be a lot of fun. Hopefully, when my son is old enough to realize it himself he will be […]
My most recent experience at the hospital was quite different from my first stay a year ago in many ways. I have to say that it was overall more pleasant. My excitement and happiness with the outcome was ultimately the same when comparing the two occasions but this entire experience was less stressful and hectic […]
Well, he is here and in just 15 minutes he was able to steal our hearts completely. One look at my new son and all the fear and anxiety that I have harbored over the past couple of days has dissipated. I look at him and realize that this is a different little boy with […]
I officially have five days left until our second little bundle of joy arrives. It is still extremely difficult to allow this revelation to sink in and I cannot appropriately express all of my current feelings in words. I am excited and terrified, happy and anxious, elated and exhausted all at the same time. I […]
Well, Christmas day has come and gone but the joy I felt from experiencing that day with my son is still alive in my heart. I have always vowed to never allow myself to get wrapped up in the commercial value of Christmas. When I was single I would always preach to anyone who would […]
I honestly thought that this would be an article that I would be writing later in my child’s life, but already, at a ripe age of 11 ½ months I am faced with the continuous heart-stopping incidents of my son falling and hurting himself and he is not even walking on his own yet! What […]
I get so excited this time of year because everyone is in the Christmas spirit. There is holiday music and Christmas parties and the air is just filled with excitement. Not to mention that this is the time of year that my first child was born which only increases how special the holiday season is […]
All right, the pressure is on! My child’s first birthday will be here in less than a month and I am beginning to feel the pressure to produce an amazing party. I am not sure where all of this pressure is originally generated but I can attest to the fact that the pressure is real. […]
“So when are you going to try for a little girl?” I am asked this question on a regular basis and I haven’t even had my second baby yet. I often just look at the person posing the question as if their head is on fire before answering “This is it, I am done and […]
Having a child has made me realize that there are many things that become plentiful or abundant in your household as that child grows and matures, and there is one thing that seems to dissipate in the atmosphere forgotten by most and that is “mommy time”. Over these past 10 ½ months I have noticed […]
The time is quickly approaching when our next little munchkin will join us and ultimately enrich our lives and I have a strong concern about my ability to devote enough attention and time to both of my boys. In efforts to curtail this fear, I have sworn that I will devote as much time to […]
I never really thought much about the change of the clocks these past 36 years until recently. I used to get a little excited with the opportunity to gain one hour in my day but it never served a significant purpose in my life. However, once you have a little one with a very fragile […]
You know I never even saw it coming. One moment I was this hip 30-something professional woman who knew all the latest fads and fashions and could sing the hook to the most fly tunes and now I couldn’t tell you one song on the top 10 list for today. I thought this would happen […]
We put way too much trust in our manufacturers today and too little trust in how swift and intelligent our children are. I used to believe that the words “child-proof” meant something but now I know otherwise. When I have an item that is marked child-proof I immediately categorize it as something that may take […]
In a perfect world where everyone utilizes common sense and follows all the rules, I wouldn’t have to worry as much as I do about my child becoming ill. However, I have learned and continue to learn on a daily basis that people are very careless and selfish when dealing with the health and well-being […]
Now I know that everyone has really strong opinions on this topic and I must admit that recently my own opinion has changed. The golden rules of bedtime seem to be; 1. Do not allow your child to sleep in your bed and; 2. Once you have put your child to bed you should allow […]
It’s amazing how the small things that your little one does makes your day and appears extraordinary in your own eyes. Our son has just started clapping now on his own and we think it’s the most awe inspiring, ingenuous thing we have ever seen. I know that other children are capable of clapping but […]
I was introduced to this title initially by my husband and his frequent reference to him staying home with our children. Apparently, many of my married friends have husbands who are also familiar with the so-called soccer dad. While we were dating, my husband, would jokingly claim that he would stay home and watch the […]
Over this past week I have really been thinking about a lot, particularly about this new baby that is on the way. My husband and I have happily reached this point where our son sleeps soundly throughout the night; he eats well and sort of communicates with us. Therefore, we often find ourselves asking the […]
“Don’t touch my son!” Those were my husband’s exact words to this little old lady as she went in for the kill, with her arms outstretched, reaching towards our baby with her face contorted into a mixture of a smile and a grimace. A frequent dilemma that we seem to face is strangers wanting to […]
Well, the title says it all! I recently helped host a shower and bachelorette party for a good friend of mine who is getting married. In true LaTrice style, I decided to keep things interesting by getting knocked up not only for the wedding but for the bachelorette festivities also. Unfortunately, at 14 weeks you […]
Well, here I am getting cozy in this thing called motherhood. I am getting used to having spit-up on my shirt, finding pacifiers in my backpack, waking up at 300 am, not eating breakfast, not eating lunch, changing diapers, cleaning spit-up…… You get the picture, I could go on for hours. However, let me clarify […]
