Food. Family. Fun.
Last Friday was my birthday, but I didn’t really plan anything, so Mr. Sandwich and I took today off. Baguette stayed in day care, which means: GROWN-UP DAY!!! Which, naturally, we spent watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians… Read moreGrown-Up Day
Baguette is four. Today she started her second year in a 3-year-old room at her day care. In fact, she’s been in a 3-year-old room for close to 18 months already, because she moved into that group just before her… Read moreBack to School
Mr. Sandwich and I both work for a state organization, which means that we get today off in honor of Cesar Chavez Day. Baguette’s day care, on the other hand, is open. Most of the time, if work is closed,… Read moreGrown-Up Day
I shared something about Baguette on my Facebook profile. Most of the responses were positive. But then there was this: [Older relative]: I thought you were a stay at home Mom. You are missing a lot. Cue the gritted teeth…. Read moreHow to Make a Mom Angry

Last night, Mr. Sandwich said, “Oh, she needs to bring a hard-boiled egg to school. It’s tomorrow. Or Thursday. I think it’s Thursday.” I said, “It had better be Thursday. They really need to give us more warning. We already… Read moreEgg-citement (Updated)
I read this post about Valentine’s Day requirements at some schools. And I totally agree. Valentine’s Day is ridiculous for toddlers. Mr. Sandwich and I have never paid particular attention to Valentine’s Day. The first year we were dating, the… Read moreTraditions: Happy Valentine’s Day
We’ve always known we love Baguette’s day care center. It’s like paying a second mortgage, but totally worth it–we miss her, but we don’t worry about her. And when she’s there all day, that’s important. The teachers balance structure, creativity,… Read moreDay Care is Important
