Molluscum Contagi-GROSS-um

August 21, 2012 by Amanda

Last winter I noticed what I thought was a little skin tag under my daughter's arm, close to her armpit. Then, I noticed another nearby the first.

The Pieces, There Are Two of Them

July 16, 2012 by Amanda

Sure, my belly is whiter than snow. Sure, my stretch marks peek over the top of my waistband to greet you. But who … [Read more...]

Fitness Frenzy

July 9, 2012 by Christine

If this post seems a bit dèja vu, it may be because Erin posted about the same thing last week! (And Sara did a few months back as well) I thought I'd share what I've been up to since I seem to have my mojo back. It all started with this I had gotten into some seriously bad habits resulting in … [Read more...]

Lulled To Sleep By the Crinkle of a Plastic Sheet

May 1, 2012 by Amanda

Potty training my eldest daughter was a nightmare. After dropping hot, steaming logs in her undies for months, she finally figured it out a few days before her third birthday and since then we have had no issues: she has stayed dry day and night. Until last week. She went away with her Nana on … [Read more...]

5:44 am

February 15, 2012 by Amanda

The alarm on my cell phone beeps to life at 5:44 am. I groan quietly, then slink to the bathroom to pee. I slip my work-out clothes on, brush my fuzzy teeth, rub my eyes and head out the door. Driving down quiet roads, it is still dark out and I wonder why I'm going where I'm going at this crazy … [Read more...]

Intentions. 2012

January 2, 2012 by Christine

Sean and I had a great 2011 but I can't help but acknowledge the many people in my life that faced the challenges and heartbreak that 2011 held for them.  I can only hope that they find some peace and happiness in 2012.
