What’s in a name?

I’m thinking that I need a name that’s closer to what I actually write about. “Randomly Random” is just too random for what I actually blog about which is all about being a mom.
So if you get to me by searching for “randomly random” know that starting tomorrow, you probably won’t find me.
My new blog [...]

Sleep Deprived

I never knew how much I loved sleep until I wasn’t getting any. Well, that’s not entirely true. I’ve always loved sleep.
Maybe I just got spoiled. Zack is normally a great sleeper. Yeah, sure, he may wake up at 3:30 most mornings, but a simple rock and he was back to sleep. Okay, a 5 [...]

A Whole New Respect

I’m not a single parent. I have a very loving husband who is a wonderful father. However, this weekend, I am alone.
David went on a snowboarding trip that took him away from home beginning Thursday afternoon until Sunday. For most of you women out there, these few days without your husband is no big deal. [...]

For My Sister

My sister is in love with Zac Efron. Well, in my scowering on the internet today (whilest MY Zack was sleeping on me), I came across his photos for Interview Magazine. WARNING: One of these pics are not work-safe.
My Dear Sister…you can thank me later…

This is apparently to shed his Disney Boy image. I think [...]

The First Fever

Not usually a noteworthy experience, I know. But this is Zack’s first illness (not including jaundice). He’s rolling with a fever and a little cough. Poor thing. Poor Mommy.
He’s hot and lethargic. But he’s still in good spirits. He’s a little whinny, but he laughed at a Sizzler’s commerical, so he still has his sense [...]

Some Independence

Zack is now 6 & 1/2 months old. He can sit up pretty good all by his lonesome (after one of us puts him in this position) and just recently he has discovered something very useful (to me)…his independence.
I watched him for about 20 minutes in his crib this morning. He has found that he [...]

Zack’s First Library Visit

Zack paid his first visit to a library. It wasn’t just any library. Nope…it was the Huntington Library in San Marino. Okay, so it’s not really any library…it’s a mansion converted into a museum. It was a great trip.
We went with my mom, my sister, her daughter, my aunt, my gramma and my 3 cousins. [...]

Super Baby

Yes, I was there and witnessed this craziness. However, I didn’t realize how far away from David’s hands he was until my friend uploaded this photo.
But, even though this freaked me out a bit, you have to admit…it’s a great shot!

Homemade Babyfood – Deeeelicious

I decided that since I’m at home, I should try to make as much of Zack’s food as possible. I mean, how simple how could it be, right? Well, I was right…it is SUPER easy! The other reason I thought it would be a good idea to make my own food was because I watched [...]

A Week\’s End

Since I’ve read Pantley’s book about naps, I was trying to get Zack on a better, more predictable schedule. I logged, summarized and I discovered his patterns.
Sunday was Easter. It was a nice day…we got things done, we hung out with some friends, had good dinner and at the end of the day our cars [...]
