I don’t know what happened this week. I blinked and it was Friday (sort of good because the week flew by, sort of bad because I feel like I lost a week!) Work has been crazy, baby prepping/planning has started, I celebrated a birthday (officially old – as my body is reminding me!) and I spent a [...] > read more

A Mini-Hubby (somebody please help me!)

Published on 2012-05-10 09:59:02

Well, I’m 1/2 way to having a mini hubby around the house… we have confirmed our new baby will be a boy (Lord help me!).

Published on 2012-05-01 14:05:35

It’s Springtime. The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming and yep, it’s raining. This should be the time of year where you start stowing away your winter clothes and transitioning your drawers to bathing suits and shorts but this year it’s been oddly cold. And, given the mild winter we had, is pretty dang [...] > read more

The Ever Supportive Husband

Published on 2012-04-25 09:45:19

One of the best (cough, cough) things about being pregnant is all of the things you get to give up. I mean really, who needs a drink every now and then, or a ham sandwich, or a tasty piece of sushi. Not this pregnant lady! (lies… all lies…..) I’m actually convinced that you are [...] > read more

Hubby and I vacationed this week…… it was sort of like our last hoorah before the baby comes and our lives are forever changed. If you were to ask hubby, he would insist that we will NOT give up vacationing like this. I tend to err on the side of caution and recognize that we won’t [...] > read more

Well, it’s almost officially Springtime again. The time when you look around your house and think about cleaning, purging & organizing.

It’s Too Early?

Evenings are an interesting time in our household. � They are a time when we battle over who’s going to cave first and mention dinner. This is important simply because the “mentioner” automatically becomes the “decider”. And, while this sounds like a good role…. it’s actually not. Because the “decider” also has to be the [...] > read more
