I am writing this post looking for your feedback. I’m curious, very curious. And I’m not just looking for feedback from mothers-to-be, or just women for that matter. Instead, I’d like everyone’s input on this one, because I believe this topic can be discussed through generations, as well as across genders.…
Perspectives (Reflections on Preparing)
For the understatement of the year, I would like to declare that a lot has happened in the H-G Household over the past two months. Good times, painful times, sleepy times, joyful times… lots of times. One Month Old 7 1/2 Weeks Old – Headed to the H-G’s first Red…
My Motherhood Tool Belt
Apparently, Sears doesn’t sell a Motherhood Tool Belt. And everyone has heard the joke that children don’t come with instruction manuals. That’s why I felt inspired to write this little diddy and share a few tools I would put in my Motherhood Tool Belt in hopes that Sears might read this blog…
Lend Me Your Shower Songs

New Year’s Eve 2011 (10 Days Old) One thing we have realized with being new parents, is children are ever changing. Looking back through the different photos we’ve taken over the past two and a half weeks, Quincy has proven to be a growing boy, but also he has his…
Top Seven of the First Seven Days
If you are like me, the last few days of a year provide you with lists and lists to devour. A chance to see what I’ve missed and measure my own taste against that of an “expert,” give me a coffee and an end of the year “top ___ ___s…
The White T-Shirt Experiment: The Due Date Edition
Well Folks, we’ve reached that point where I’m busting at the seems and Baby H-G should be here any day. Officially, yesterday marked the Due Date, though it’s up to him for when he actually makes his way out. Here at the H-G Research Center, we have been gathering information…
