Ice Cream: The Miracle Cure

Saturday, December 1st, 2012

I know I owe you all a birth story about my brand new daughter Jamie Lea, but it’s been a crazy couple of weeks here in the Fast household – cut me some slack, people, I have TWO FREAKING KIDS now! Anyway I promise, it’s coming. In the meantime, I thought I’d share another Ellie-ism… [...]

Let the public embarrassment begin…

Friday, November 2nd, 2012

Ellie has really never embarrassed me in public – I’m not the mom who freaks out when her baby cries super loudly in the grocery store (or on the plane), I don’t care if she has a blowout and the stink fills the room, and I think pretty much everything she says is funny or [...]

Girl’s Got Aim

Friday, September 21st, 2012

I’ve shared some of this on Facebook recently, because, well… I continue to be so shocked by my daughter that I have to immediately upload photos and explanations so people can get a good chuckle. Here is the (developing) story regarding Ellie’s latest “potty adventures”: Since we’ve started potty training (approx 6 weeks ago), Ellie has [...]

During a recent visit to “Gwama and Poppa’s” house, Ellie impressed everyone with her extensive knowledge of body parts (such a show-off, that one).

Security Blankie

My beautiful daughter has a white hand-crocheted blanket that she is in love with – it’s her “security” blankie. It was made with love by her great-aunt Jana, and Ellie is absolutely enamored with it.

Q-Tip Confusion

Friday, July 6th, 2012

You know how little tiny babies get boogers in their noses that seem impossible to get out? I’ve always used a q-tip – not the giant baby q-tips, just a regular q-tip – and they’ve worked fine. I realized recently that Ellie thinks that the only intended use for a q-tip is to stick up [...]
