Do you remember when your biggest concern was when your favorite television show would come on?  Or maybe what fun thing you were going to do that day?  Do you remember when you could stay outside all afternoon, play with the neighborhood kids and your parents didn’t have to worry about you?  Do you [...]

YEAHHHH!! The first week is usually a big loss since most of us drastically change the quantity and/or quality of food we have been eating. So, this week was no exception. I lost 4.6 pounds. Woooooo-hoooo! So, off to week two. I have done well today [...]

That’s what you can say to me regarding my “I’m not going to actually post my weight on here” attitude.  I know, I’m a chicken.
BUT, I will post my weekly losses.  (hopefully no gains)  When I feel comfy enough to post the digits, you’ll see them. Until then….complete suspense. 
(See, really it’s a tool to [...]

Since I will always try to be a fair and equitable parent, Bean should get his own centered blogpost as did Maddie.
Happy 8 month old birthday, buddy.  It’s crazy to think that 8 months ago my life changed once again.  As with Maddie, after she was born, I couldn’t believe I lived without her.  This [...]

This simple question asked by my almost four year old (as she reminds daily that her birthday is ’soooo close’) actually made me stop and think.  See, she was telling me a story in the van about a man who died, went to heaven and saw his wife.  She had also died and was in [...]

No, this isn’t some anti-American French patriotism.  This is France.  He’s a grasshopper. 

He’s living in an old Ragu jar with some grass clippings and lemon grass. 
“Well, how did he get there?”  “Grasshoppers don’t live in glass houses?!?!”  (No, they don’t throw stones either, but that’s another post.)  My nature-loving, three year old daughter [...]

Joey, what is this “blog” thing?
I seemed to have forgotten that this blogging thing is probably a new thing for some of our family and friends. On one hand a blog (short for weblog) is nothing more than a regular web site where we can post updates, pictures, etc. But something else it [...]
