Rite of Passage

You’ll have to pardon me today if I seem a bit incoherent or if my typing is somewhat sloppy.  It was a tough day yesterday due to these two little white things: Yes, they’re exactly what they look like – TEETH. We should have known they were coming since we’ve seen a lot of drool lately (notice [...]

Dinner Time In A Whole New Light

When the CPA and I got married, we had a list of things that we swore we would always do.  Along with planning lots of travel and having regular date nights, we promised that we would sit down to dinner every night so that we would have time to discuss how our respective days had [...]

Would You Work From Home If You Could?

Would you work from home if you could?  I’m willing to bet that for a lot of people that question is a no brainer.  Work from home every day, stay in your pajamas, take a nap at lunch.  Sounds great, right? Ahhh… but there’s a catch.  What if I were to tell you that you wouldn’t [...]

Going Bald

Do you remember your first grey hair?  (If you’re reading this and you’ve not yet found a grey hair, feel free to skip ahead.  If you’re reading this and you know all too well what I’m talking about, just nod your head and sigh.) I found mine at the tender age of 35, a mere three [...]

5 Going on 13

Five months that is.  It’s been five months to the day that I popped out this little boy who has become the center of all of our attentions.  In honor of the blessed event, Henry willingly obliged to a photo shoot earlier this afternoon.  I am amazed to see the differences in him over the [...]

Children and Television: Yea or Nay?

Way back when, I used to love good TV dramas.  Back when I had time to actually watch TV, of course.  Shows like Criminal Minds and CSI were favorites with Law and Order SVU being at the top of the list.  Those shows are very well written and usually pretty suspenseful too so I enjoyed [...]

It’s All About Image

Body image that is.  At least that’s what it’s been about with me lately.  The CPA took some pictures of me the other day and I was horrified at what I saw.  So horrified that I’m not even posting pictures.  My hair was flat and dull, I had hardly any make up on, my clothes [...]

If You Blink, You’ll Miss It

It’s been a big week here in our little household.  I realize that it’s probably nothing monumental from an outsider’s perspective.  But in the world of Henry, it’s been huge.  I’ve also learned that it’s true what they say – kids literally change overnight and that if you blink, you could miss it. The first incident [...]

It Must Be A Secret

I don’t know how people do it, I really don’t.  I don’t know how they manage to have a job, a child/children, a spouse, hobbies, responsibilities, etc., and still function like normal, capable human beings. I don’t think I have that much going on, at least I don’t feel like I do.  I’m working part time [...]

Flying to Utah and Back

Well, we did it. The hours of preparation and research and worry must have worked because we had a great trip over Memorial Day week (and plane ride, I might add).  It started off a bit rocky as our flight left at 7:00 Sunday morning from Baltimore which is an hour from our house.  We left [...]
