Drew’s a Baller!!!!

February 29, 2012

Drew’s obsession with sports is something he wears on his sleeve. Quite literally actually since he wears his jerseys every day of his life. And although it is something I find hard to relate to at times, I have to embrace the fact that it is so clearly a self-motivated passion. Drew’s Coach from sports class recently mentioned how Drew […]

They’re driving me CRAISIN!!!

February 28, 2012

Drew has turned into the human garbage disposal overnight. I think the kid may eat me out of house and home. So I decided to make some cookies he could snack on. And of course they had to be Gabby friendly too. I came across this recipe in a magazine and thought I could easily modify it to be good […]

Rules of Engagement

February 27, 2012

I’m a social person. I like to chit chat. So one of the scariest things in quitting my job was being able to remain social. Yes, there are times that I can get away and hang out with my friends. But how does a STAY-AT-HOME mom socialize with others???? During my first few months of retirement, it was summertime. And […]

My Inner Yogi

February 24, 2012

Relaxation? Impossible! Inner peace? As likely as peace in the Middle East. Yoga? A nice workout after several days of hard muscular working out. People that advocate for Yoga talk about the mental benefits as much as the physical ones. To be completely honest, I thought it was all a crock. I find it hard being alone with myself in […]

A Single Girl’s Valentine’s Day by Rachel

February 23, 2012

Valentine’s day could be considered a day of misery and unrest for a single girl, complete with tears, a sappy movie, and a bottle of wine. This year, I was determined NOT to let this (ordinary) day turn into that. Luckily, I received an email from my beLOVEd Lululemon inviting me to an event called piece.love.yoga. In an act of […]

I dare you to fall for the trend

February 22, 2012

I have resisted adding Lululemon to “My Favorite Things” because it’s everyone’s favorite. It’s no secret, they have the best clothes. The fabric is so superior. The clothes are so comfortable. And it’s unbelievable how good everyone looks in it! But I had to, I owed it to my fellow frizzy haired friends, to explain that the Lululemon headband is […]

Mission Accomplished!

February 21, 2012

I did it! For awhile I didn’t think it was possible, but I did it. I actually made a meal that everyone enjoyed! So, OF COURSE, I had to share!!! It was a Valentine’s Day feast, or a Valentine’s Day miracle. First I made Cauliflower Fritters… Print Cauliflower Fritters Author: Gina’s Weight Watcher Recipes (via SkinnyTaste.com) Prep time:  20 mins Cook […]

Worldly Mama

February 20, 2012

I have some friends that are getting married out of state in a few months. When I heard about the location, I was thrilled at the opportunity to see that part of the country. I didn’t think for a second that anything would get in the way of me being a part of this big event for my special friends. […]

Oh Brother! Sayonara Sista!

February 17, 2012

I am an only child. I can’t say that I necessarily disliked being an only child. Rather, there have been things about living my life as an “only” that I wasn’t the most fond of. But there were also benefits I reaped by flying solo. My friends that had siblings had households that were always buzzing. People were coming and […]

What’s with fine motor skills?

February 16, 2012

Drew has definitely had his fair share of behavioral challenges but for the most part he has been consistently ahead of the curve. He rolled over at 10 weeks, he peed on the potty for the first time at 18 months, he plays baseball like a 5 year old, etc. So although I may sound like a bragging mom, I […]
