Earning Her Keep

Today Madeline and I were hanging out in the bathroom, and no we don’t normally spend quality time in the bathroom together, but I was contemplating carpet samples against the bathroom paint, thus the bathroom time. While I was obsessing over the various samples trying to decide the impact of all of the subtle variations [...]

We’re Making Progress

Today was day 3 of our basement construction. It’s surprising how quickly things are moving along. I’m very thankful for that, because our house has been so loud lately! The sounds of drilling into concrete have been permeating our house all day long, and while Madeline finds it amusing it has definitely started to fray [...]

It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times

I have had a lot of ups and downs this past week.
Last weekend was a really rough time for me. I was feeling sick, and really frustrated that all of my efforts were not seeming to make any difference. I missed all of the food I used to eat, I didn’t feel good, and I [...]

And The Verdict Is…

Today was the day I have been waiting for. I found out the results of my allergy test. As I had mentioned before, I was nervous that I would find out I was allergic to all of my favorite foods, and in some ways things turned out okay yet the results were still pretty bad.

If I Only Had a Brain

Yesterday my friend Jill had a Valentine’s party at her house for a whole bunch of kids. Basically she is either a saint, or she is crazy because she allowed 15 kids to terrorize her house for an hour and a half! 
The party was scheduled from 10:00-11:30. I read the email from Jill the night [...]

4 Months

Anthony is 4 months old now, so I thought I would do a little update on how he is doing.
At his appointment he was 11 lbs. 13 oz., and 23.75″ long. Yes, he is tiny. I had high hopes that he would be bigger than Madeline was, but I suppose being born 3 weeks early [...]

I’ve Got to Stop Following Links

You might remember a while back, I mentioned that I had been reading Angie Smith’s blog and how inspiring she was and how much I recommended you read her blog, etc. Well, I have been reading her blog now for almost a year and in that time I have seen a number of links to [...]

2 Weeks and Counting

Since I have been on “the diet” for 2 weeks now, and on the supplements for 1 week, I figured it might be a good time for a little update on how things are going.
Where do I start?
Honestly, I am not seeing any hugely dramatic changes…yet! I will admit that I am slightly disappointed that [...]

A Trip in Pictures

A couple of weeks ago we went with my family to the Dells for a little winter getaway. We were spending 2 nights at The Wilderness. So, we packed up the car and headed to the Dells. Before we could officially be on our way we needed to stop for some lunch at Culver’s. 
Madeline refused [...]
