leader of the pack

My two loving, adorable, cuddly dogs suffer from the condition of selective hearing. That is I'm-in-denial code for they just don't listen. Now, this is not always the case. You tell Ziggy to sit, and the boy sits. You tell Ziggy he's being a good boy and Lola comes running (diva, much?). However, when they're in backyard play-mode, it's ...

Look at what I found, peaking out of the fabric on my daughter's changing table, this evening. If you have been reading my stories, you know what feathers mean to me. I miss you, too.

daddies and diapeys

My husband is the samurai of diapers. The diaper king. Nevermind that he had never changed a single diaper before our daughter was born.

Namaste

I remember the days when I used to leave my yoga class, hot pink mat in hand, covered in a nice yogi-glow and filled with a sense of calm and peace. Now, I leave my yoga class, hot pink mat, baby pink blanket, diaper bag, handbag, car seat, snap n' go in my overflowing hands, covered ...

the cutest thing I heard all day…

It was a bit of an exhausting day, in the land of mom, as my baby was overtired. She just couldn't get settled. Maybe it is because we are not at home, at the moment. Maybe it's this crazy heat. Whatever the reason, she simply didn't have a good, long nap, all day, so she was just exhausted. So, as ...

The Story of Us–Chapter 3

So, back to the day I cut him off, It took a few weeks, but my mom and I remembered something very interesting about that psychologist’s driveway. When she used to drive me to my therapy appointments, there was always this cute older guy from my school who went in before me. He drove a white car with ...
