I was alone at home, waiting for 11:30 to hit so that I could leave for lunch with an old friend from high school. I looked around the house, wondering what I should do for 10 minutes. The Internet was calling, but instead I decided to clean the fish. Queen Fish. Every once in a [...]
I rarely go out with my girlfriends, maybe once every couple of months. Today we went shopping to the Big Michael’s in the Too Rich (as in, so rich that I was a bit uncomfortable) City some half an hour from my place. I’ve been begging to go to this Big, Huge Michael’s [...]
We don’t usually talk too much to Chloe’s preschool teachers. Once in a while we’ll ask how she felt that day if we know she wasn’t feeling well or just wasn’t feeling it when we left. Other than that, well, my husband and I aren’t very big on being so social and so we just [...]
We spent some time today at the Cherry Blossom Festival. One of the things that I have come to love about our area is that we’re so close to the festivals and fairs that the city holds. We can often just walk to them as they are only a few blocks away. Today was the [...]
That’s right!! We are on the very last step before our letters start going out to expectant moms with the agency. I got approval on the letter itself - design and wording - and now I have to mail them a sample master copy of the letter. Once they get it, look at it, and [...]

My lifestyle change goals are going well. I’m doing them in stages instead of all at once. I’ve got dinner down. It went well. We had a home-cooked meal every night and I didn’t have to stay [...]

I have a bunch of small things in my head that I’ve been trying to figure out how to write, but none of them will go into a post of their own, so here’s all my recent updates:
I’m just beginning week 2 of our lifestyle change. I have whole grain bread, whole grain pitas, [...]
Not many of you may know unless you’ve met us in real life, but Chloe is tall. My daughter is tall, and whenever anyone looks at myself (5′2″), then my husband, then our daughter, they naturally assume my daughter got her height from my 6 ft husband. We actually have no clue where she got [...]
Chloe is your average wonderful, beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent little girl. There are days, wonderful days, when my wonderful little girl will literally wolf down every crumb of food in her line of sight. Days where we watch in amazement as her tiny tummy holds more food than mine and my husband’s together - and then she asks [...]
