The Puke-Filled Adventures of Supermom!

Life is Hard July 31, 2012
This is a small snapshot into my head during an actual day last week...  These events are non-fiction.  All of them!  I like to call it the Puke-filled adventures of a working mom.  Enjoy! I groggily get out of bed.  I've only had about 2-3 hours of sleep.  Lily has been up on/off throughout the night coughing and crying.  I took her temperature...Read More

Cookies DO NOT Lighten My Load

A-ha moments July 24, 2012
It has been a rough few days in our household.  Lily is in the throes of teething, and simultaneously she managed to get a nasty cold.  She is basically a snot factory, and her bark of a cough reminds me of the crabbiest seal at the zoo.  As if that all was not enough she is also having reflux flares, which is normal...Read More

Born to Stand Out

A-ha moments July 16, 2012
Dear Lily, You are 10 months old today! Honestly, I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone, even as yet some days have seemed agonizingly slow.  I am so happy that I can finally tell you that I have come to a place - a place of acceptance.  A place where I see you as a smiling, babbling, army-crawling, curious, sometimes-naughty, social...Read More

Before and After July 14, 2012

I year ago today I'll admit I wasn't hopeful, and yet, I was still praying and trusting for "my" miracle... What a difference a...Read More

Craving... French Fries!

Change July 12, 2012
Have you ever had a craving so strong that you start to obsess about it? At first you think just a little about it, and then you think about it more and more, until you’re basically useless because you aren’t getting anything done, all you're thinking about is the craving. Yeah… so call me a little crazy, but I’ve had that building for...Read More

Berry Delicious!

Recipes July 11, 2012
It's Berry Season... and I love it!  Berries are one of my favorite summer fruits.  There is nothing like the perfectly ripe and juicy strawberry or raspberry!  I think that easier and more affordable access to delicious fruits and veggies during the summer actually make following Weight Watchers easier for me during the summer! Recently I was asked to try out a new...Read More

Can I Offer You a Cocktail?

Drink Recipes July 02, 2012
Happy 4th of July week! Hopefully this finds you on a week long vacation, since the holiday is smack in the middle of the week - how incovenient!  Me?  Nope... not headed anywhere this week, you'll find me working four days.  There are head surgeries to have in the somewhat near future, birthday parties to plan, and trips to North Carolina to be made...Read More
