The holidays are always more fun with kids around (lack of drinking/debauchery aside hehe) and halloween is deffiantly enhanced by the little Bits. We've had a fun year getting Miss G. to decide what she wanted to be (so I would have enough time to make it up). Last year as many might remember she was a "Spiderman Princesss" ("Cause Spidermen ( Read more... )

Its amazing how quick the little ones grow up. Allie had his first birthday this month and just a short week after he is really walking. Earlier this week he was sitting on the back room steps playing, stood up and toddled across the room to me with no hesitation or help. Awwww... he also has mastered "Hieeeee" and really surprised his ( Read more... )

So no matter how long I've lived in the bay area I havent lost my craving for NM style green chile. I tried out a new item at Noah's Bagels " Santa Fe Wrap" with a bit of trepidation but sure enough its not only tasty but seems to have passable green chile in it. For the adventurous I'd also advise trying Bill's Cafe (in Willow Glen and the ( Read more... )

I've never been a big fan of my birthday. I dont have anything against getting older or telling folks my age or anything like that. I'm actually enjoying my 30's quite a lot and relish the wisdom and experiences each new year brings. Its just that traditionally since I was pretty young birthdays were times when I was forgotten, or ill-treated, ( Read more... )

Well I appear to have rejoined the workforce and my days of being blissfully at home with Allie are at an end. Got an offer on Wednesday for a new job, and they wanted me to start on Friday so back into the fray it is ( Read more... )

Ok its been a busy summer (what with Allie being born and all that). He turned 3 months old this week and I'm officially unemployed. I let my job know that I am not coming back and going to enjoy time at home with the little one (till I find something else - if anyone hears of marketing openings lemme know). I did love alot of things about this ( Read more... )

One of the things I miss the most about living in New Mexico is the food. Mmmm... the food... and a staple item of all NM dishes be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner is Green Chile. Hard to come by and a bit of a pain to transport. Well a dear relative of mine made a discovery and sent me some in the mail. Green chile in single serving packets ( Read more... )

Had my 38 week checkup today with Dr. B. Alls well and I'm in "terrific shape" but very unlikely to go into labor this week., little one is intent on staying where he is for now (hasn't dropped, no dilation, got nuthin *sigh*). So went to yoga tonight, I continue to love Harmony Birth Center in all their granola happy ways. Plan to keep getting ( Read more... )

Mmmmmm... I woke up to a wonderful start to mother's day. My dear husband and Gabby made me one of the best breakfasts ever - scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, homemade buttermilk biscuits with homemade strawberry jam. Now that's a way to start a day!

Ok so I'm much better at offering advice to others for taking care of themselves than following my own advice. I'm now in the third trimester and body aches abound... Tonight I finally listened to myself and the bodyaches and went to a prenatal-yoga class. God that felt good, and why didnt I do that sooner? If anyone in the bay area is looking ( Read more... )
