An honest expression of the joys and challenges of motherhood. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. The Toothless Grin Has Moved! Keep following us at www.thetoothlessgrin.wordpress.com. Monday, March 8, 2010. Um… I think I think I can. You all remember the little train that could, right? I’m not sure where the story began, but I remember that clip from dumbo…. I’m not sure if I should say I feel like that train or what, but I feel like I’m about to attempt something I’m not sure I can do. Because ever since ....

The Toothless Grin: I've got him!
http://thetoothlessgrin.blogspot.com/2009/05/ive-got-him.html
An honest expression of the joys and challenges of motherhood. Thursday, May 7, 2009. One time was especially hilarious. I woke up believing that I was breastfeeding Jack only to find myself holding my boob. I panicked and in my search for Jack I woke up Tim. He said to me, "I have him right here.". I followed his arm to where he was indicating only to find an empty hand cupping his pillow. After turning on the light we both realized that my mom had Jack with her in the guest room.

The Toothless Grin: Having it all Together - what does that even MEAN anyways?
http://thetoothlessgrin.blogspot.com/2010/03/having-it-all-together-what-does-that.html
An honest expression of the joys and challenges of motherhood. Sunday, March 7, 2010. Having it all Together - what does that even MEAN anyways? I was mall-walking with a friend of mine who is navigating the choppy waters of working mom/partially working at home mom and she said to me “I feel like I’m failing at everything. I’m failing as a mother, as a wife and as a kung-fu instructor ." [ Job title changed to help my friend remain anonymous. ;)]. What I’m trying to say is that our standards need ...

The Toothless Grin: The Shoulds
http://thetoothlessgrin.blogspot.com/2009/10/shoulds.html
An honest expression of the joys and challenges of motherhood. Monday, October 19, 2009. From the days of June Cleaver (and perhaps earlier? There have been expectations of what a mother and wife should do. While I get incredibly angry over the idea that she should be submissive - even subservient. Last night, as I was reflecting on this, I made a list of the "shoulds" I have struggled accomplishing. I should have a neat house. I should have a clean (spotless) house. I should always be happy. Many years ...

The Toothless Grin: Jesus was NOT a mom.
http://thetoothlessgrin.blogspot.com/2010/03/jesus-was-not-mom.html
An honest expression of the joys and challenges of motherhood. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Jesus was NOT a mom. You know, it has once again been “one of those days.” It started out well. I was in a groove, getting work done, feeling good, when Tim and Jack came home. Immediately life was disrupted and it hasn’t really calmed down. Oh sure, we weren’t busy. Isn’t that crazy? We did go to the park, but that’s only stimulating for Jack, if you know what I mean. Let us then approach the throne of grace with con...

The Toothless Grin: January 2010
http://thetoothlessgrin.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
An honest expression of the joys and challenges of motherhood. Thursday, January 28, 2010. I have begun to wonder when will be the next time Tim and I try to get pregnant again. Well, last time we didn't exactly try. but we didn't try to not try. Make sense? Anyways, there are many factors to consider. 1) Tim will be in school for at least another year. 2) Jack isn't crawling or walking yet and I want to have a mobile child when I'm pregnant. On the other hand. When do YOU shower? And sat around watching...

The Toothless Grin: February 2010
http://thetoothlessgrin.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
An honest expression of the joys and challenges of motherhood. Monday, February 8, 2010. Ok, I will. I am so tired of people asking me if Jack is walking. I am also tired of people asking me if Jack is crawling. I am even more tired of people telling me, "it's ok, he will.". Yeah, I know. The fact that Jack isn't very mobile doesn't usually bother me. He's not getting into things. He's content. We're all happy. We are all a little slow in my family and we are all geniuses. Fault that he's not. I can ...
