Today when I went to check the mail I discovered a package from a friend in Minnesota! I was so happy (I had been anticipating the package as I had asked her to pick something up for Jacob that I couldn’t find here) and when I opened the package there was a summer romper that [...]

What a week it’s been for us! After a month long period of Jacob just sort of swimming in the glory of being able to sit up, we are having a week jam packed FULL of new milestones! First, as you may have read he started getting TEETH….this experience has been the bane of my [...]

Today we had to take our cat Ellie to the veterinarian’s to be put to sleep…..I cried hard. I got her when she was just a newborn, 5 years ago and named her Arielle which later got short formed into Ellie. She was a good cat and she loved to spend time with me – [...]

What I have learned through this [...]

This week Jacob tried on some of his new clothes that I got for him before Christmas during a sale at Gymboree. Most of my friends and family know that I am in love with shopping at this store and I finally got the time to try some of it on. Most of it is [...]

Every now and then there exists a person who truly captivates me – who has the ability to do what they do and do it with greatness. I post frequently on a message board and I have met some women who have gone through great trials and tribulations throughout pregnancy and parenthood. There is one [...]
