Does Your Spouse Feel Appreciated?

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Veggies for your Kiddies

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Thankfully, I'm blessed with a child who, though she loves french fries,  likes her veggies.  As soon as she could use her chompers we started her on broccoli, steamed spinach, asparagus and the basics - carrots, peas, squash, etc.  Needless to say she also loves fruit of any kind.  It's ...

The Urine Test

What is Fibromyalgia?

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

I ask this because I really don't know. My mother has been fighting against a seemingly unidentifiable immune disorder for many years.  She is unable to eat sugar in almost all it's forms which for a fruit lover is torture.  It was scary growing up having to be her "babysitter"; having ...

We went to the OB/GYN on Wednesday and got to see our baby for the first time.  We are proud parents of a lima bean - at least that is what the baby looks like right now.  It is incredible though that the doc was able to show me the ...

Protect Your Family While Blogging

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

After a few months on the Entrecard circuit I've noticed one thing - there is a plethora of people willing to divulge every little detail about their lives, even their children's lives. I've done my fair share of sharing, but not enough to make me feel exposed or vulnerable ...

Teaching a Toddler to Read

My little one will be 2 1/2 in a couple of weeks. She loves it when I read to her, telling stories and playing like any normal toddler. I'm focusing in more on teaching her the basic necessities of life: reading, counting, being polite, sharing, etc., etc. ...
