From Baby Bird to Chubby Chicken

November 10, 2011 by HeatherFawcett

I came across pics from the day I brought Roman home and was shocked at the wee little bird looking at the lens.  I really didn't think that he was that small though the doctor told me he was in the bottom fifth percentile for weight.  This is normal for children coming from an orphanage … [Read more...]

I Just Want to Live a Cool Life.

August 23, 2011 by Jen

"What are your goals and objectives?" "Where do you see yourself/the business/this project going?" And usually I respond, "I don't … [Read more...]

Making an Impact. Can blogging save lives?

June 21, 2011 by Jen

Remember when I wrote this: If only we had known.? It was about how I wished we had known more about skin cancer. How we could have, maybe, saved my mom. And how I wished we had checked into things sooner. It was about a lot of other "what ifs". I have always loved the sun. But I have … [Read more...]

Before. And After(ish).

June 9, 2011 by Amanda

In January I started boot camp. My baby was four months old, I was a hot mess and none of my pants fit. The classes were challenging, and getting up at 6 am after I had been up a dozen times with a hungry infant was tough, but I kept at it, kept on squatting, kept on lunging, kept on sweating.Here's … [Read more...]
