open sesame!
One year ago, my little baby was the size of a sesame seed. Today, I ate a sesame seed bagel. Actually, it was a strawberry bagel, but that doesn't sound quite as romantic, now does it? Oh, and speaking of the past.... My dogter, Lola, got stuck in the garage today for a grand total of 7 minutes, which was enough ...
A typical morning in the Land of Mom.
You know those mornings, when you get to sleep until 8, and wake up, in your favorite, freshly washed pair of jammies, and walk into the bathroom to find that your hair, which can have a life of it's own, in these warm, summer months, has dried into pretty, soft, curls, and you feel kind of good about yourself, so you grab your ...

Realllllly????
You know the age old expression that tells you that "there's no such thing as a stupid question..."? Yeah, I'm here to disagree. In the past year, I have been asked more silly questions than I can count. And, if I'm being completely honest, I may have asked a few doozies myself. Today, I had my 4-month-Post-Pregnancy check-up with my ...
baby talk
