About
Fluffy Bunnies?
Fluffy Bunnies — they’re cheerful, innocent, curious, partial to snuggling. Fond of the occasional carrot or marshmallow. Sort of like children, they embrace and explore life with each alert sense, but with twitchier noses and floppier ears. When I think about fluffy bunnies, my troubles fade. At least for a bit.
So, Fluffy Bunnies is a blog about unburdening the burdens. It’s about my own fluffy bunnies — my children — and the endless creative, kind, silly, amazing ways they experience and interpret life. This is not to say raising three kids is an endless joy. I, too, juggle tantrums, picky eaters, bedtime avoidance rituals, princess obsessions, and caveman tendencies.
Better than Mac and Cheese
But when I find myself bogged down in how hard it is to raise children? When I wonder if they will ever become gentle, compassionate, polite beings? When I can’t mentally survive one more timeout or macaroni-and-cheese meal? I think about bunnies. Fluffy ones. I try to capture the joy I find in parenting. And I smile. I hope you will, too.
Meet the Bunnies
Lollipop: My oldest, a girl. Obsessed with the usual things like princesses and tea parties. But also with cowboy boots, peanut butter, spiders, and items that match.
Giggles: My son. Likes leaves, sticks, ketchup, vehicles that haul stuff. Dislikes vegetables.
Bun: Finished baking! Fresh out of the oven.
So, welcome to Fluffy Bunnies. Thanks for dropping in. Have a marshmallow. Or three.

You are such a gifted writer; ever considered children’s books?

So sorry it took me so long to find my way here. but i love it and it’s so well written. keira giggled this morning and brendan said ” she looks like the little girl that came to our house in the princess dress, remember her, mom?” It was 7 am and it took me a minute to say “oh right ” and knew he meant your Lollipop!
Hope you are feeling well. When are you due? Craving anything lately?
miss you?

Thanks for stopping by today. I’m so glad you loved the poem.
I think it says so much in that short little space.
We love them..no matter what..and we’re always there…no matter what.

I had to come visit. And found myself wanting to comment on every single post I’ve read so far. While I was tempted to blow-up-shuate your blog, I refrained.
Instead I’ll leave you with this (because my nine-monther just started squalling in her crib) : I love your stuff. Will be back for more.

Ahhhh! So you had a secret you didn’t share with us when I was sharing about my blog. Now I get it! It was a pleasure meeting you two last night. I am excited to follow your blog. Keep up the good work!

Since I was young, whenever I got caught thinking about something frightening, disturbing, or sad and i wanted to take my mind away from it I would just think… “fluffy bunnies”! it always worked, it’s ridiculousness would make me smile and feel better! Just glad to know im not the only one
Thank you

You came to visit my blog and of course I had to come do the same. And after spending a good portion of the past hour reading about your adventure (still haven’t learned why you’re where you are, but I will) I’m commenting here and following..if I figure out how
Hope you heal fast and can share more of your life outside the confines of walls….I’ll be reading about it:)

I enjoy your writing, and couldn’t resist finding out about “fluffy bunnies.” So happy to hear you are back on your feet, I’m sure that was not an easy three months for your family.

Good luck on your blogging – and parenting – adventure!
Comment by The Hook— January 2, 2012 #
I love your byline (Parenthood, the glass half-full way)! Your sense of humor comes through wonderfully and makes it so fun to read your posts. My girlfriends and I have talked often about needing to write the “Motherhood Manual” that gives the real picture of parenting that isn’t shown on greeting cards or in Hallmark commercials. Talking (or writing) about it all makes us laugh at the things that made us want to cry or scream at the time. When we actually started writing it, we were laughing so much we couldn’t get more than a few chapters done. However, after reading your blog, I think I may need to start publishing it in bits as posts on my blog. It’s good to laugh.

I love the sweet and humorous way you write. I also love that you’re in Romania! Romania is a place that is dear to both my husband’s and my heart. We both traveled there years ago to do missions work. I first noticed my husband and started taking interest in him, when he told me he was going to Romania that summer of 2004, when I had gone the previous year. Great blog!

I love your outlook on life. As a new mommy of a 10 month old little girl I feel like I can learn a lot from your experiences. Thank you for being willing to share your thoughts and feelings with us. I look forward to following along.

I’m REALLY hoping that you see this comment. I was sent to you via @lifeinromania as we are looking to possibly move to Cluj. I have 3 boys 3 and under and pretty darned terrified. Are there any posts that you might recommend I start with? Thanks so much! farrah dot ritter at gmail dot com
