A New Kind of Success

When the girls were about 2 weeks old, I went grocery shopping and bought a bag of chocolate chips.  I’m a new “stay at home mom” and I intended on making chocolate chip cookies.  I had this vision of the perfect Continue Reading →

Choosing a Daycare Isn’t Easy

Our daughter has been going to a wonderful home day care for the past nine months.  Betty (the day care provider) has years of experience with children, she’s caring, kind, patient and has a huge back yard with a slide, swing, sand pit and more.

Every day Marla comes home with paintings, pictures, sorting activities and crafts. There are days, she doesn’t want to get in the car to come home :)

It gives me a great sense of peace knowing she is being taken care of.

Nap Time Sex – Yeah, right.

This past Sunday, my husband and I had an experience (that we’ve had before) that I am sure has happened to you.

We had just gone for a family walk, had a yummy lunch and put Marla down for a nap, while there were dishes to put away and things to do, we found our selves heading to the bedroom…need I say more?

So, we were spending some “time together,” enjoying the moment, when all of a sudden…

I’m calling bullshit. Continue Reading →

I Swear I’m Not an Alcoholic!

Like the title states, I am not an alcoholic, but some days, the way I crave more than one beer or glass of wine while nursing is crazy.

Today, it is 35 degrees  over 40 with this humidity.  I have had one cool beer, but would love another one.  The thing that sucks, not recommended when nursing.

At least I can have a little, I know when I was pregnant, I thought I would be fine going without my red wine (I do like to indulge in a few glasses a week).  The truth – I could not wait to drink again, especially after the pregnancy and the last few months.

Wow, the first evening I sipped on a glass of wine after nine long months, I thought I had died and gone to heaven….I must have sat and smelled it for ages before finally taking a sip and savoring every one at that!
