For nine months you wait and you wonder what your little one will be like. Â Then for the first few weeks after he arrives, you still wonder and wait as they just eat and sleep and not much else. Â But then one day, it changes. Â A light bulb turns on and your cuddly little person [...]

It’s been many years since I was spanked, but I remember the experience quite clearly. Â First, my mother would warn us when we were close to getting in trouble when we were about to cross the line. Â And, nine times out of ten, we’d not only cross the line, we’d jump over it and go [...]

There have been a lot of firsts over the past few weeks: Henry’s first sponge bath, soon to be followed by his first tub bath. His first stroller ride around the neighborhood, and his first real smile (one not attributed to gas). He even had his first professional photo shoot (thanks Melissa!). Each of these things has tugged at my heart [...]

I’ve always believed that when you marry someone, you need to be sure that you have enough similarities that you have a good chance of making it. Â These similarities are different for every person though. Â For some, it is having a common religion or code of values, for others it is sharing similar personality traits. [...]

The CPA and I went through a lot to determine a game plan for this Labor Day weekend. We had finally decided that we would spend a few days driving through the country, but all of that planning was thwarted early Saturday morning. It started around 2:00 a.m. when I was awakened by the sound of our [...]

The last time I wrote on here I made reference to the CPA’s grown children. We don’t get to see them often as they live a couple of hours away and everyone is busy. But yesterday was an exception. Yesterday the CPA’s oldest (who is his namesake) got married. Their mother, unfortunately, passed away a couple [...]

So I made it through the first six months, no problem. The next few months went swimmingly as well. In fact, one could say that I’m settling in to this whole “marriage” thing quite nicely. It helps that the CPA is a wonderful man and that he’s done this before and knows what to expect. [...]

After months of wondering, I finally realized that my subconscious was telling me that I wanted to have a family. And it was doing it in a way that I would understand: shopping. I began looking at baby items on line, oohing and ahhing over every little thing. Then I took it a step further [...]

So, the first three months passed. I continued to carry the question around with me but I began to relax a little. I figured, if I am meant to have a baby, I still have time, so I won’t worry (that’s what I told myself anyway). One thing I knew for sure: I we did [...]

The first three months of our marriage were no different. With the “children” topic constantly looming in the back of my mind, I began talking about it with other people. I started with my all-knowing mother. I figured if anyone could give me words of wisdom that would be the catalyst for my epiphany, she would [...]
