Chopsticks, Spica, Mommy’s slipper socks
May 18, 2009 by at 10:11 am
In a word, awkward. p.s. anybody want a Chicken Soup for the Soul book? I have a Moms & Sons to give. Enter here!
on the care and feeding of boys
I'm Rachel Balducci. Welcome to my world! I am married to Paul and we are the parents of five wild and crazy boys -- and one daughter who is made of sugar and spice. Here you'll find my musings on life in a male-dominated household, with the occasional swoon about having a girl.
I'm a writer and a newspaper columnist and my first book, How Do You Tuck In A Superhero and other delightful mysteries of raising boys, was published last year.
If you're passionate about weapons, World Cup soccer, super powers and the NBA, you've come to the right place.

Sure! I could sure use some laughs with 4 boys myself! (plus 2 girls!) all under age 8! Thanks a bunch. Praying for your little guy and YOU! God bless, Mary
Hi Rachel – I have learned a lot by watching you through your blog. Thank you for being a great example! I would like to enter the giveaway. What do I do? Thanks!
I would love to enter your giveaway ~ thanks!
Love your blog and I would love to have the book! Thanks!
Please enter me. 2 boys, husband’s family has 5 boys and 1 girl. So far only boys from my husband’s family. I think it would be passed around and put to good use.
With 3 boys here, I could definitely use the inspiration! Please enter me!
Praying for Baby Henry and all of you.
Would love a chance at your Mother/ son give a way !
Lord Henry is so cute. Spoil him rotten, he deserves it. (But beware, I spoiled my son, Jack, rotten due to his recent tonsillectomy. That was over a month ago and I am still trying to undo the damage.)
I have 5 boys under age 8 and would love the chance to win the book. How do I enter?
Thanks,
Amy
I have a son and could use some inspiration…
Also, I think that sliper socks are a nice touch
Love the slipper socks–thinking about putting a pair on myself since the temps dipped back into the 60s…And would love to be entered!
Aww…poor Henry. Or should I say, poor Henry’s mom, since it looks like he’s pretty chill with his chopsticks?
I would love to win the book, as a slightly-overwhelmed and always a step behind mom of young boys!! It would be nice to have the encouragement of reading stories from moms who have been there and the boys that they raised!
Two boys and using NFP, so…. you know what that means
I’m knew to your site and am really enjoying your archives!
I would love the book, too! Please enter me as well.
Hi Rachel,
God bless you and little Henry! I hope you’re all coping well!
I love your blog and reading about your life with boys. As someone who grew up in a female household, I’m now a new mom who’s outnumbered by boys (my husband and son)! So I’m just learning what boys are all about.
Will you enter me in your giveaway?
Thank you and good luck with little Henry’s healing! – Jen
Rachel,
Thanks for the offer of the book. Please enter me in the giveaway.
Thanks,
Kathryn
Hi Rachel. We’re praying for you, Henry and the rest of your family.
We have 4 boys, 1 girl and unknown little 6 on the way. Thanks for the opportunity.
Oh! Enter me! Enter me! [CAUTION TO ALL WHO ENTER: I always win.]
Hi Rachel, I’ve been loving your blog for a couple of years now! Please enter me to win the book…I would love it
Please enter me in, too. I only have one boy (14 years old) but I have my share of issues, too. (smile). He’s now recovering from a bicycle accident due to a failed trip down a ramp without a helmet. He’ll be ok. I thank God for no broken bones, no broken neck nor lost teeth. He does have an infection in his mouth (all that dirt and leaves) and a sore sore swollen jaw. God is good. This could have been a lot worse.
Having just had my 4th boy last week I think this book would be great! Thanks Rachel for all your wisdom
My 9 month old son had a Spica cast for quite awhile and OH MY GOODNESS…..It was a very interesting experience. the looks I would get and every once in awhile a rude comment from people having no idea why he was in a cast and somehow felt I was the reason for his cast……I was absolutely shocked!!! Good-luck!!!! I hope for a speedy recovery!
Would love a copy now that I have a son! Praying for your little Henry. My son is the same age, and I can hardly imagine what you’re doing to keep him still and quiet.
I’d LOVE a book!
i'd love a book titled Moms & Sons! Thank you
So…..what did I win?
