My day began waking up to a closed door and an empty spot where my hubby should have been. I smiled a knowing smile because this meant Mike had gotten up to feed the baby to let me steal some more zzz's.  I  slowly went though the morning routine and met my two loves downstairs. I greeted them and stayed to hang out with my blue while daddy went to ( Read more... )

As anyone who knows me knows I am quite an lover of this little planet. I do my best to promote "Earth Day everyday" in my own little corner of the world. Today was an Earth Day like none before because I now have a little student to teach about loving the planet. Today, ever true to my greenie geek roots I dubbed today my "Enviroshoot" and ( Read more... )

   It is so amazing to me that it has been three months since we brought our little love home with us. She has grown and changed already so much. We are constantly fascinated by her every breath and move. Thinking back to those first few days and weeks we were quite a bumbling pair. We had to figure out a few things along the way to make it work ( Read more... )

   It started even before I knew it did really. I woke up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night which was far from unusual.  Then before I could untangle myself from my blankets I sneezed and felt like I might have wet myself. However when it happened again I thought "uh oh this could be my water breaking".  I also thought how much the ( Read more... )

   Ahh what can one say about pregnancy? Well depending on who you talk to it can mean many different things. From my experience I really cannot really complain too much about my pregnancy. During my time carrying Mya I was in mostly very good health. I was definitely exhausted during my first trimester and passed out for naps as often as possible ( Read more... )

    I just had to put in a note about our wedding anniversary. It was an ordinary day to start. We both had to work and went about our usual days.  All I could think of was going home to squeeze Mike and celebrate our time as a married couple and our love. Finally the day was done and we were together again.
   I was excited to wear the dress I had ( Read more... )

    It was November 15, 2008, my baby shower!  We decided to have it at my new home so it was not a surprise. However, I could not have felt more surprised as I always am to be the center of such events and witness the outpouring of love. My girls Jackie, Kristen and Denise had all come from 3 different states to help celebrate my little one. Ahh I ( Read more... )

 During this exciting time of waiting for our little lady to join us we had another life changing event, our first house! We had been searching for a number of months and were beginning to wonder if we would be able to find something before the baby arrived. We found ourselves with a couple of close calls that did not work out. 
   Finally we were ( Read more... )

     Ever since we had the great pleasure to have a "walk down memory lane" conversation I have wanted to write this piece. I would like to interrupt my own story from current events to take a look back.  I want to celebrate one of the loveliest people I know, my dear friend Roshni.  We met in the Girl Scouts and our friendship blossomed a couple ( Read more... )

     After so many weeks of waiting we finally had the appointment (August 18th 10:00am) we had been waiting for.....the gender reveal! To be completely cliche but honest we really just wanted a healthy baby in every way. However, I really felt from the beginning we were having a girl. I even did the old time ring on a string after passing an ( Read more... )
