Thinner Thursday: I’m Normal!
I haven’t been posting my weekly weigh-ins in a while. Now that my baby is mobile, I’m spending all my time running after my baby and no time typing up blogs. That is not to say that I haven’t been keeping up with my Weight Watchers journey. Every Thursday morning I have been weighing in…
Thankfully Waiting
I should have known. Airports are rarely neutral territory. They are wrought with the extremities of emotion: from kissing a loved one goodbye to the eager anticipation of new adventures to the feeling of coming home again to joyful opened-armed welcomes. Hidden in the nooks and crannies of airports is magic and stories stuck in the telling….
Thinner Thursday: Uninspired
This girl here? Yeah this one. The one whose blog you’re reading. This girl does not feel up to blogging right now. This girl? She’s kind of bummed out.

Mommy Pictures
One of the fifty million MommyBlogs I read is by Meredith who thought up this fabulous idea called “In the Photo Fridays”. The whole idea is that we Moms are always behind the camera taking pictures of our little ones that we rarely have pictures of ourselves. Some day, I am sure that I will…

Positive Day
As I look down at my little man napping beside me in his bouncy chair, I think about how it is such a miracle that we now have this amazing tiny person in our lives. I mean, this little snuggling, smiling, giggling, wiggling bundle of preciousness was created out of a whole lot of love….
I Heart Dad
Dan’s Father’s Day gift. Pictures all taken on June 18th. 14 weeks, 6 days old. You should see the way Cameron looks at his Daddy. From the very first week of his life, Cameron has looked up at his Daddy with his big eyes in total awe. It is as if Cameron is hoping to…
