La La La La La La La…La La

Thank you so much to everyone who entered the draw.  Remember to keep telling people about it because you have until Friday to enter.  The bag is perched on the back of my couch so I can lovingly admire it.  I think I need to make a replica for myself. Weaning Isaac was very successful. … Continue reading La La La La La La La…La La

That one’s for you Mark A… Continue reading Scenes From the Week

The End of an Era

Dear Isaac, I write this letter to you with mixed emotions.  Today is our very last day of nursing.  It makes me sad to say that but when I think about nursing you for even one more week, I know that it’s time to stop. I hate doing this to you because you don’t know… Continue reading The End of an Era

Sleeping Babies

I often find myself in my kid’s rooms every night, staring at their faces, trying to kiss them and smell them as much as possible without waking them up. There’s nothing as adorable as a sleeping child so I try to somehow embed their image in my mind so I can remember it later. The… Continue reading Sleeping Babies

Another Great Trip!

Another lovely weekend with my parents!!  Aside from the chilluns not sleeping the greatest and getting up at 6:30 am, everything was swell. Saturday mainly consisted of me and mom and Jules sitting around and sipping wine and giggling like little school girls.  Mom took me shopping for Isaac’s birthday.  We stopped at this really… Continue reading Another Great Trip!

Headin North

Last night I decided on the fly to head north with my sister Juliet to go see my parents.   This sort of spontaneity freaks the crap outta me.  I’m excited now but I was kinda freaked last night. On Tuesday, my counselor told me that if I wanted better self esteem then I need to… Continue reading Headin North

Bloggy Cleanse Fest Extravaganza

Wow, I came on here and then I got distracted by other web sites.  Since I’m getting close to weaning Ikey I’m in the market for a good cleanse.  I’m pretty much decided on the Master Cleanse because it’s cheap and I like the idea of fasting for many reasons.  I think that fasting helps… Continue reading Bloggy Cleanse Fest Extravaganza

My Nose Hurts

Silas and I collided heads two days and unfortunately for me but lucky for him, his hard hard skull hit my soft, delicate nose.  I’ve never had a swollen nose before this…I don’t think.  I don’t think it’s broken but wow he sure hit me hard.  It’s a little bruised too and verrrrry tender.  I’m… Continue reading My Nose Hurts

Healthy Cleaning

Sometime after getting pregnant with Silas someone somewhere started changing my mind about keeping things clean. I got a bit educated on what those cleaners are actually doing to our bodies and even worse, what happens to us when we live in such a bacteria-free environment. I think it started because I’m so sensitive to… Continue reading Healthy Cleaning

Medic Alert

We got Silas’ Medic Alert bracelet yesterday. What an odd thing to see on my own little darling’s hand but I think it’s necessary. I wasn’t going to get one just yet but the parents on the allergy board made a very good point. I thought I was with Silas all the time so he… Continue reading Medic Alert
