It’s Been Far Too Long

So sorry lovelies. I’m back now, and promise not to be gone for so long again! It’s been like what…seven days? Geez! Not to worry - back and resuming regular posts.
I also have to keep you updated on the workout plan. I have 12 lbs to go - Yay! The last few ones are the […]

Workout Session: Day 4, 5 & 6

OK, I’m trying to figure out the most effective strategy for updating you all on my workout sessions and daily diet. I don’t think accounting each day makes sense - it’s a little daunting, and quite frankly, I workout 4 to 5 days a week. So what do you all suggest? How do I keep […]

Why Turkey?

Your weekend joke…enjoy.
We were watching a documentary on Turkey, the country. Our little man turned to us (his parents). “Why is it called turkey?” Before we could respond…he says, “Is it because there are a lot of turkeys there?” *crickets* Seriously, what do you say to that? Both my husband […]

Workout Session: Day 1, 2 & 3

Sorry I have been a little MIA, I have shoot loads (trying not to use curse words lately because Z repeats EVERYTHING she hears right now) of work on my plate. Thought I’d fill you all in on my workout plan and daily diet. The original plan was to post each workout day, but until […]

Twins With Different Dads

Did you all see that in the news a few days ago, or are you going to make me feel bad for watching too much TV? If you caught it, are you as shocked and baffled as I am? Geez, just when I thought I’d heard it all…I caught this article the other day talking […]

Busy Slapped Me In The Face

Literally. I have never been this busy and I sure didn’t see it coming. I mean, I knew I was going to be somewhat busy, but em, I can’t even keep track of time. Now I wish the day had more hours - A 48hr day. Lol.
I’m quite sure I’m not the first with three […]

Honey, Check If She’s Breathing

This is what we say every 5 mins. My husband and I, that is. Whether she is asleep or not. My biggest worry (besides headaches from sleepless nights) is being threatened by my new baby falling asleep. I almost don’t want her to take naps or sleep at night. When she sleeps, I don’t […]

Indigenous Woman Breastfeeds A Monkey

Came across this picture on the amazon tribes website, and it sent shivers down my spine. This is yet again, another selfless act. Here is this indigenous woman nursing a monkey whose mother has died, thereby adopting the monkey as her own child. Not a motherless or dying child, folks, but a monkey! I’m a […]

Got Milk?

Instantly, I knew I had to write a post on this. So much so because I am nursing our newest addition and thriving on doing so for as long as I can (a year) with little or no help from Enfamil (formula). However, I have been challenged by the pain that comes with nursing. It’s […]

Exiting In Style, Or Not!

First and foremost, my family and I thank God for our beautiful new addition. We are thankful that all is well, and we are home enjoying our new lives. Thank you all for the lovely prayers, messages, positive energy, phone calls, emails, FB msgs, Twitter msgs, etc.
A big thank you to Dr. Jay Goldberg who […]

Excuse Me, While I go Have A Baby

If that’s OK with you. If you’ve been there before, you’ve got to know how this process works. Especially if you have other little ones at home. Getting mentally and emotionally prepared, getting your kids prepared, getting organized, and the list goes on.
So, as stated in a previous post, I’m not ignoring any of your […]

Is A Baby A Reason To Get Married?

The question I got in my inbox today! Now, how do you answer that? I’m assuming the reader just wants to hear my opinion on this - knowing fully well that I am no expert, right? Or as always, they’d like to hear the majority’s opinion. That’s YOU, the readers.
The last thing I want to […]

Any Day Now

And let the count down begin! Boy, it’s getting more difficult to move around. I take one step and I feel like I just climbed Mount Everest.
I was trying to have a convo with Greg this morning. I had just one thing to say, and my poor hubby had to stand there for half an […]

Kids & Sign Language = Amazingly Cute Conversation

I’m amazed at my daughter’s skills with signing. She just turned 19 months and isn’t able to have a solid conversation (obviously) just yet. So, in lieu, she signs to us.
Her dad bought her a sign book when she was much younger, and after she turned a year, big brother was so excited and eager […]

The Toilet Water Saga Continues…

Oh boy…I need to hire 24/7 security for our bathrooms, so that as Z shows up they can turn her back around to go play with her toys; to do what kids do. Yesterday morning, as the kids were getting ready for school, I heard S scream in his bathroom, “Z, what are you doing […]

Another Baby Found In A Clothes Dryer

Man, seriously, there are a lot of troubled people in the world. A couple of years ago, a Louisiana woman put her baby boy in a clothing dryer and turned it on.

In the news yesterday, there was yet another report of a mother in Houston abandoning her new born baby girl in a clothes dryer. […]

The District of Public Failure

I once heard someone use this term to describe homelessness or the issues of the homeless today.  I thought hard about it and couldn’t help but think that it has a negative connotation on the homeless. When I saw it on TV, the special was shot in an area that looked like downtown, Los Angeles […]

Our Hummingbird Friend

We have a (sometimes) hummingbird neighbor who is back again. In 2007, this hummingbird came to nest in our garden to make a home for her young. It was so amazing to watch the construction take place. It’s hard enough being pregnant, let alone build a “house” while pregnant..flying back and forth. It typically takes […]

Love Does Not Hurt: Relationships & Violence

I had to do a post on this issue because it is really dear to my heart. I support non-profits who are dedicated to putting an end to “violence against women” and “physical/mental abuse against women & children.” Now, to be clear, violence against men and animals is unacceptable too, of course. However, I am […]

Infidelity Strikes: Jon & Kate Plus 8

05/08/09 UPDATE: According to Us Weekly, Jon is infact having an affair!

“In the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands Wednesday), five people close to the situation - including two relatives of the other woman - confirm that Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad Jon Gosselin, 32, has been having an affair with third grade […]
