I’ll be honest. I felt this book was a huge advertisement for Jenny Craig. I know she’s the spokeswoman and all but I found it somewhat repetitive.
It was a slow and I had way too many more interesting reading waiting for me, so I decided to fold. Usually, I like to tough it out [...]

It is its own religion, this love. Uncontainable, savage, and without end, it is what I feel for my child.
Claire and Mia beautifully wrote this memoir about the challenges they faced – alone and in their relationship. I am completely moved at their ability to reconstruct their relationship. I often think about at what point [...]

I did some research on the diet product, alli, and decided to pick up the starter pack. Since I haven’t officially started the diet yet this is just a brief intro on what I’ve noticed so far. (I will post about my progress with this product as [...]

What a difference one day makes.
Sunday we went back to the Pow Wow. The sun was out, the humidity gone, and there was record breaking attendance. Baby T napped on the way there so he was refreshed and out to explore. What a welcoming atmosphere. Even though everyone was quite tired (me: from babysitting; my [...]

My weekend is just about half over.
And where exactly did my time go? Although I’ve lost many minutes (well, hours really) in driving, feeding and caring for children, it can be summed up in just a few words: Pow Wow* and Babysitting.

Last week we took a hike through Purgatory – that would be Purgatory Chasm not the real Purgatory. I took so many pictures that day but this would have to be my favorite.
Right before I snapped this picture we had heard a strange sound. It was a bird sound but we have no [...]

i love you
It’s amazing how a text message can brighten my day. My hubby and I use to text each other all the time – well not obsessively but enough to keep connected. Lately, things have been a little strained since we are still adjusting to having a baby around. Yes. It’s been almost 13 [...]
