Would be called ex-husband in my house.
Seriously, this is a phrase that someone (I assume a wife) actually typed into Google and found her way to my blog. All I can say is that I seriously hope that her husband gets a grip and learns to deal with the crying. Let me tell you now, seriously, the crying doesn’t stop once they aren’t a baby anymore.
Seriously.
The crying gets worse as they get older.
Seriously.
It gets worse and is like fingernails on a chalkboard some days.
Seriously.
Tell your husband he’s gotta get used to it. He’s got to find a way to deal with the crying. To deal with the noise a baby makes.
Seriously.
It’s the way babies communicate. If he can’t handle it now with a baby, he’s going to have a really hard time dealing with a toddler whining and crying because daddy won’t let him eat a cookie for breakfast.
It’s hard.
It’s tough.
It’s just the beginning — and I mean that — seriously.

The mom blog site, 5 Minutes for Mom, is having a blog party and I’m joining in. It’s a networking party that I can share my goals about helping women with more moms. After all, that is why I blog.
Since it’s a party, we’ll need cake. You can read my post about my trials of baking a specialty cake for my son’s birthday — I struggled with making it, blue icing wedged deep under my fingernails, staining my fingertips. After it was over, I was soooo glad I did and have a picture to prove it! It’s a super cute car-shaped cake that took waaay too long to make, and was devoured waaaay to fast, but was totally worth all the effort.
So, as you can tell by now, I’m a mom and I have a son. I also work full-time and believe in balancing work, life and family. Although, you don’t have to be employed to need to find balance in your life. It’s not easy for any of us to do, but I use this blog to help me keep balance in the forefront of my life. In doing it in blog form, I am able to help other women realize they aren’t alone in their quest to get things done, and have fun doing it too. I post every week day so be sure to stop here often. Read more about me here.
And, since this is a party, I should send a shout out to all the Internet peeps who regularly come here to read my posts. *shout* THANK YOU *shout* WOOT! I really appreciate your support and hope that you get as much out of it as I do each day.
Here are some of my favorite posts:

I’ve been surrounded by stressful situations lately, too many to name, and stumbled upon a mom blog that hit the spot — she’s got beautiful photos that you can download to your desktop or just print out.
It’s the perfect idea for some breathing space. View the images here.

There were several really good performances from the guys last night, but one stands out for me: Jason Castro’s version of “Hallelujah.” He made it look effortless. I had to rewind at least once to watch it again. If you missed it, you can view it below.
I still really like the young David Archuletta and the other David (I’ll call him stripper David) was great last night too. Once the groups combine (girls and guys in the top 12) I’ll start giving recaps about each performance every week.

Here’s a quick and simple recipe that I learned about last week for a great chocolate and peanut butter cookie. I immediately went home and baked it for my family, it is a great recipe to make with kids, although you can hardly call it a recipe since all you really have to do is mix. I took some photos to demonstrate how easy it really is. (Thanks, Danielle, for the recipe.)
Buy prepackaged peanut butter cookie dough mix. Stir ingredients as per the instructions (egg, water, oil and cookie mix) in bowl.
Make one-inch round balls. Put them in mini-muffin pans (greased).
Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.
Immediately upon removal from the oven, put one unwrapped peanut butter cup in the center of each cookie.
Let cool, grab a glass of cold milk and eat up this yummy goodness.
