Near the beginning of the year, I wrote on this blog about something my husband, his family and I have experienced; something we call PFL.
Tonight there was a whole new twist on PFL.
After dinner, Ryan had been playing out in the grass in the backyard. Since I had picked up all of the dog [...]
Last night I cleaned out Ryan’s closet. One of the few remaining items in it that wasn’t packed was my old diaper bag from when he was an infant.
I haven’t carried that sucker in at least 6 months, let alone looked through it. I chucked that bastard right after Ryan turned a year [...]
As Easter approaches and I think about which traditions I’d like to start with my own child, it prompts me to think back on my own childhood.
When I was a kid, I both loved and dreaded Easter. Same goes for the Tooth Fairy. Why, you may ask? Because of my dad. He used to say [...]
Leap Day is always a weird one for me. It seems like every Leap Day unusual things always happen in my life that make it impossible for me to NOT remember it. One year I was involved in a fender-bender. Another year there was a horrific dog incident that resulted in the [...]
Last year for my birthday my husband gave me a great gift–in theory. It was a gift certificate to a local day spa for a one-hour massage and facial. I was ecstatic! The thought of being pampered just 2 months after becoming a mommy was pure heaven.
Now it is almost a year later and I [...]

These ones are DONE!
1) Eat more chocolate: I made double chocolate chip cookies [...]
Like about 99% of Americans, every January 1st I feel compelled to make some sort of resolutions. They are anything from, “I will lose weight this year” to “I will quit smoking” or “I will exercise every day”. These resolutions are always a recipe for disaster that for me typically last for 17 [...]
Last Saturday night was my aunt and uncle’s annual Christmas Dessert Party. I was excited about taking my son this year, as last year when we took him he was only a month old and we were all so damn sleep deprived that I don’t even remember it. I just knew that this [...]
As I go through my mail and open more and more envelopes filled with Christmas greetings from friends and family, I’m noticing a trend. No longer do people send out holiday cheer in the form of a cheesy winter drawing of snowmen or reindeer and a sappy poem printed inside. No sir! [...]
Thought I’d share this old favorite with everyone. And if you can find a recipe, let me know.
