I know that I said I would not worry about my daughter meeting her milestones on time, but I cannot help but be a teensy bit concerned that she is nearing six months of age and has not rolled over once. She actually quite enjoys the first 5-10 minutes of each tummy time.

I have read often that one of the biggest downsides of being a SAHM is that you do not get sick days. However, in my case, I have been very fortunate to have family who are giving me a hand. Yesterday, my little sister Suzy (well, she's not so little — she's 28 years old!) came over and cooked not one, not two, but THREE delicious dishes and stocked our fridge to the brim.
