It’s official: I am down 30 pounds overall. I haven’t done my measurements yet. I haven’t had that kind of success. Ever. It feels really good. And I’ve done it in such a way that I’ve really worked on retraining my brain to make healthier choices with my food, while also trying to be more […]
I feel like you should all prepare for this trend. Week A: So great, yay! Week B: Not great, boo! Week C: Great again, yay! And so on and so forth. So here we are for a yay! week.
Terrible Twos. Three-nager. Everyone says those words. Everyone gives a little giggle, or a nod of understanding. But do they really understand? I mean, really?
Yesterday was Daniel’s last day at work. We are now in a period of limbo while we wait for several things to shake out: his short-term disability to get approved (even though he’s been forced out onto disability, it could still be denied), vocational rehab to get started, the boys to get on WIC to […]
Probably when everyone in my house had viral gastroenteritis and there was vomit. Everywhere. One Sunday, I felt a bit nauseated. And then … I prayed to porcelain goddess like I hadn’t in quite some time. I was so sick I actually went to urgent care. That takes a lot for me to do these […]

Well, I don’t have that many girlfriends to begin with. And when you whittle it down to non-mom friends, we are talking a select few. But they are amazing friends. Here’s one story to prove just how awesome a couple of them are: A couple of weeks ago, I became very suddenly and very spectacularly […]
Pretty much like any other morning, really. The boys don’t go to any sort of daycare or school, so Monday is no different than Saturday or Sunday. The only difference is for Dan. He is up at 4:30 a.m. and out of the house by 5:30 a.m. to make it to work. It’s brutal, but […]
I’m going to be honest: Today is just not the day. That past couple of days have been awful. Just straight up awful. The stomach bug from hell took over everyone in my house. So much yuck. So today is another day of taking it easy. The boys will have day 2 of a bland […]
