My biological clock has been going a lot over the past year. I'll be 35 in December.



I miss having a baby. Kind of. I don't miss the 3am feedings... LOL but I kind of do.

What do you think?



I miss being pregnant. Pregnancy was absolutely crazy. All day sickness, in fact. But gods, I miss being pregnant and having that little one with the sweet baby smell. Even the dirty diapers. Even the crying. I miss it. I can't help it.…

I was taught at a young age never to discuss politics, religion, or sex in mixed company. I try to adhere to this guideline, for at least two out of the three topics. (::wink wink::) And it seems to make sense for me for a couple of reasons. One, no one’s opinion on any of the above has ever changed mine. And two, I am not seeking to change anyone else’s. I think everyone having the right to their own opinions and practices is part of what makes this country so amazing. But once in a while,…

Have you ever day dreamed that you wish you could improve what you have started? Such as wishing your kids ate better? Would try different foods, maybe start playing a sport and maybe your teens attitude would improve? 

We decided to take a 365 day challenge and blog eveyday about the changes we are making together.  We will be preparing new foods and let you know how well it went with the kids. Exercise and fitness will be incorporated.  I see a triathlon training and a…

We Could All Use Some Extra Grocery Money!

With the economy the way it is right now, we could all use some extra money when it comes to feeding our families. One of my wife's jobs (she does odd jobs online) is to look for discount coupons and FREE stuff related to families. She came across this one last night, and got it redeemed almost right away! She is going to use it tomorrow to go get me some steaks! Yum! This is a legitimate link, and I wanted to share it with you guys…

Choosing a hairstyle for your daughter’s wedding can be a major source of stress to even the most calm and serene mother of the bride (MOB).  Sometimes it can be more difficult to settle on a hairstyle than to choose your mother of the bride outfit.  Use these handy tips to help you choose the perfect style for your daughter’s special day.…

Unlike many of my medical school counterparts, I don't do much going out (i.e. partying, bar hoping, etc.).  Being a mother and a medical school student does not afford me much extra time for shenanigans and what not.  So when I do get to go out and do something, even if it's mild and I'm home by 10 pm, that's a pretty good night for me.

Tonight was one of those nights.  The American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) chapter at my school put on a mixer and a faculty couple was so…

….those of you new to the blog, here is a short run down of the “last year and half”.  My husband had an awesome career of 12 years at a well known financial company, just to find out that the downsize was going to effect himself as well as a few other co workers.  Not to mention our daughter was JUST 4 months…

I can’t believe it has been 6 1/2 months since I decided to load ‘em up and move ‘em out~well, I should say move up (North). After getting laid off, my children and grandchildren moving to Ohio and Maryland a couple of months before, it was time for me to move on!

So, Payne and I rented a 16′ moving truck, car carrier for our Explorer…Said goodbye to the South…

“My kids tune me out!” “It’s as if I am talking to a wall!” "All I get are one word responses!" Having heard this as the number one complaint from parents for over 25 years I decided to approach the challenge a bit differently. I…

I was reading a few funny blog posts the other day from writers who were getting a little frustrated with social media.

They didn't want to blog or tweet or Skype or sell - they just wanted to write. And while their comments were funny, they were serious.

I could relate. While most of the time, I'm very enthusiastic about blogging…
