Thanks for stopping by - and I hope to see you at my new blog(s)!

I swear this past week has been the week for the question:

So, are you going to have another one?

As in - of course - are we going to have another baby. Having just read another article by someone who was recently facing that decision, I was glad to realize (as happens a lot) that I am not the only person who would like to have another child, but ( Read more... )

How I wish I could write more often. Or that I was like Jay-Z and could remember everything I thought about and just write it down later. Of course, I wish I had more time for a lot of things - but you know what they say about wishing ( Read more... )

In short, and obviously, I am not the old Kelli. And I think one of the reasons I am slowly coming out of the funk (other than the zoloft, perhaps) is that I am growing accustomed to the new me.

I just had an epiphany - well, it's been building for a few days ( Read more... )
