My Hijacked August 21 Post

August 22, 2012

Dear Adam, It’s almost humorous to think of where we were seven years ago…and it’s not because I, along with two others, fainted during our ceremony. I think about those two kids who thought they knew what love, life and marriage might be about and I want to laugh at how little we knew (or even probably know now). I […]

Happy anniversary to my wife

August 21, 2012

Let me just start this blog by saying that, no Heli does not have a wife, this is in fact her hubby Adam. Let me also say that she doesn’t realize that I’m about to post something on her blog. However, today is our 7 year anniversary and what better way to celebrate a very personal, private holiday than sharing […]

Redefine Relaxing Vacation

August 20, 2012

This morning the alarm went off for the first time in nine days. It was a wake up call…vacation is over. Time to come back to reality. And even though we have been back for a couple of days, it has been slow in getting back into our normal life. After last year’s trip, one might think we didn’t stand […]

I’m in the thick of it…

August 9, 2012

I know vacations are worthwhile. It’s great to get away from the house, it’s nice to have a break from the routine and it’s enjoyable to be forced to have no distractions during family time. The pre-work, though, is enough to do you in! There are a variety of piles all over our house. There are the clothing piles that […]

Is a relaxing beach vaca possible?

August 8, 2012

Much like I explained yesterday, a year can make a big difference! Friday we leave for our second year going up to Michigan between school and camp. My very generous aunt and uncle give us their summer house as a getaway. And last year, (you can read about it here) it wasn’t quite the getaway I had expected. First of […]

What a difference a year makes! (The summer edition)

August 7, 2012

I can’t help but reflect back to where I was a year ago. After the long, hard decision to quit my job and stay home, I had made it through July (my first month as a stay at home mom). And although I was getting into a groove, most of my contacts were not going to be around in the […]

Archaic Traditions

August 6, 2012

I was one of the first of my friends to have a baby. And so many of the things that are now so second nature to me, were so foreign and I didn’t have many close friends to look to that had gone through it first. So when Drew was first born, I shuttered at the thought of him having […]

Bring on the Baby!!!

August 3, 2012

For the longest time I would think about having a newborn (even just a baby from age 0-1) and I would sorta cringe. Thinking about the growing pains was hard – remembering how challenging it had been to our family dynamic. Yet I had always wanted three children and knew that in order to make that family happen, I would […]

Can my kids live in a bubble?

August 2, 2012

Swimming pools petrify me. They scare me in a way that I don’t ever know how I will send my children to camps where they are able to swim where only paid professionals are watching them. I have always been a camp person, an advocate for children going to camp. But the thought of swim lessons or, dare I say, […]
