My cute girl with two functioning, non-mangled hands So, do you want the good news or the bad news first? Bad news? Ok then, glad we agree. Two weeks ago the husband was running on the treadmill in the basement while our daughter played and watched cartoons in the same room. We’ve had . . . → Read More: I think I’ve found a good excuse to never run on the treadmill again A few months ago I discovered a new workout program that I loved. It was challenging, it was interesting, I could do it at home, and I was seeing results! At last! An exercise routine I loved! Only there was one problem: after a couple of months I started noticing this weird pain in . . . → Read More: It’s all in the wrist I’ve had so many good intentions over the last several days, and yet this here bloggy has been a bit light in the posting department. I’m sure all of you have been wringing your hands and asking, “Why? Oh, why hasn’t there been a new post? Whatever shall I read?”. Well, have no fear! . . . → Read More: A post about why I haven’t posted Well, I’m happy to report that the family has finally returned to a a healthy status. Brady had to go back to the doctor early in the week because he still couldn’t hear, and it turned out his ears were still infected, even after a full round of antibiotics. He got another shot of . . . → Read More: Back to life I attempted to sit down on Tuesday and write a post, but I was literally too sleep deprived to even put two coherent words together.

You’ve been warned… Good news! I figured out a way to get Claire to let me brush her teeth. Apparently if I sing “Popcorn Popping” like a clown on crack she happily opens her mouth and lets me brush away. In other news, she also came down with a nasty cough a couple nights ago. The husband . . . → Read More: A healthy dose of birth control I try to stay pretty on top of things as far as my daughter’s health and well-being go.

When she stops drinking formula, what on earth do I feed . . . → Read More: A conundrum There are a lot of words you could use to describe my husband: Competitive. Sentimental. Hard-working. Athletic. Fun. Soft-spoken. CARNIVORE. And not just as in “oh sure, a little grilled chicken would be nice.” I mean carnivore as in, “give me the biggest slab of prime rib you’ve got- and RARE!” We’re talking about . . . → Read More: Taming the beast Last week I briefly mentioned that in my quest to be more frugal, I was following the advice of the book and tackling my grocery bills. Oh, I so wanted to write a post on the beautiful, organized spreadsheet I had developed in order to compare prices. I wanted to talk about the shock . . . → Read More: One step forward, two steps back For me, and I’m sure many others, the hardest part of change is that first step.
