AAHH!! She's Mobile!

My baby officially army crawls! As much as I love to see her developing, I'm in a panic. My home is NOT baby proof. I can't even seem to keep it tidy let alone keep it safe! Any suggestions or tips? What should I be looking for? HELP!

Get some outlet covers. Locate your breakables and evaluate the safety of their location (if she pulls on the bookshelf will they stay put?). In this early stage I think keeping choking hazards off the floor is probably the most important. Go Sadie! (But not too much- give Mommy a break!)

The Concept

At one point in my life, I thought being a mom was going to be mundane. I thought that it was going to be all work and no play and that everyday was going to be exactly the same boring routine. Boy, was I wrong! Being a mom has thrown more curve balls at me than my bachelor's degree and corporate chaos combined--and it's only been 5 and 1/2 months! My baby is consistenly changing, my bank account is consistenly changing, my homemaking skills are consistenly changing, and my emotional stability? You guessed it--consistently changing.

So, with some help from friends, I've started this blog. I'm sure the concept of the blog will continue to morph as we all talk about the "celebrations and frustrations" of mom-hood. I want to know what tips, tricks, and oops my mom-friends have made. I want to know, as my friend Natalie put it, how do you do it? I want to know what you've done to love the home you've created. I want to look at the comments and recognize that I have friends that know how I feel whether it is a happy moment, or a "I want to strangle somebody!" moment. I also noticed, when I was in school, I would do a project and get a grade. When I was at work, I would do a project and get feedback and/or results. At home, I can do a project that may never get noticed. So, this blog will be an opportunity for me and my friends to tout their "Look at me! I did it!" moments. I love telling people they did a great job and I'm not even going to lie, I like to hear it too.

So, I need authors. Want to join? Email me at missprovo06@hotmail.com and I'll be more than happy to add you to the list. We'll try to have guest bloggers from time to time because we really want to know how you are doing and how we can help. We want you to ask questions, give answers, start discussions, give ideas, share talents, and tell stories that make us laugh, cry, and pause to think.
