I should have seen this coming. After all, my son refers to Kinder Surprise eggs as “Easter eggs”. Even the ones that my mom brought back from Israel with Hebrew writing on them – Easter Eggs! I digress… Sitting in the car the other day, my son started singing some of the new songs he […]
Not on my sons’ time!
Originally, I was going to name this post “I finally have 2 jobs that I love, yet neither one of them pays”, but recently, I came to a different realization. At a blogging social media conference that I attended last weekend, I was overcome with emotion on my last day. While the speakers were great (actually…they […]
Fur parenting fail
On April 7th, our little girl pup was born. Seven weeks later, we took her home with us. Three weeks later, we had to give her to my in-laws… where she still remains today. What happened you say? I’ll tell you… it’s called fur parent fail! There, I’ve said it. I’ve been ashamed to admit it, […]
Baby-shower-palooza!
With several friends expecting between July and September, the time for the baby showers has finally arrived. A few weekends ago, I attended two very different, but very special baby showers. With four of our close-friends all due within two months of each other, we decided to throw a “group” baby-shower, hosted by six of the girls […]
My Journey Through Miscarriage (part 2) – Guest Post
To read part 1, go here: http://wp.me/p248bN-jU +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DAY 8: I needed to see it with my own eyes. Strangely it wasn’t as traumatizing as I thought it would be. The ultrasound just showed a blob with no heartbeat. It even shrunk to an 8-9 week fetus. I guess that happens over time. I am […]

Our family is expanding!… We’re getting a fur child (and need your help with the name)
Short version: We’re getting a dog, and we need name suggestions!! Long version: John and I always knew that one day, we would get a dog. We just didn’t know when. Since we both grow up with dogs, we knew the responsibilities that came along with dog ownership, and we just weren’t ready for it. We figured we’d […]
Top 10 signs you’re really sick…
10. Your house looks like a tornado went through but somehow you’ve convinced yourself it’s still fit for a queen and with a house this clean you’re not the least bit concerned if your child decides he wants to eat off the floor (see # 9 below). 9. You son dumps all of his raisins on the floor and rather than telling him […]
Why can`t I just pee alone?!?!
For those of you confused by the title, you should know that I have an 18 month old son.* When I was pregnant with Kyle, I heard that I wasn’t going to get much sleep or alone time with my husband. But I was never told that I also wouldn’t be able to go to the bathroom […]
A war hero, undercover cop, entrepreneur and foster parent: My dad, my hero!
My dad heard a loud noise, he could smell something burning and his tank began to shake. He felt a ton of pressure, like someone was holding him paralyzed against the tank’s wall. Parts of the tank starting crashing into his face and body and suddenly it become eerily quiet. ______________________________________________________________________ Growing up I’ve always […]
