Do The I Did It Dance
I started doing the ‘I did it dance’ after Alex was born. It became my way to celebrate those oh so precious accomplishments ~ changing a diaper without getting pee’d on (if you have a boy, you know exactly what I mean), getting a decent nights sleep, taking him out for our first walk, getting…

I hope that all of you had a wonderful day today. I am constantly amazed by our boys and who they are. It is great to see their personalities develop and I feel so honored to be their mom. If you ever have a day where you feel that you just are not getting it…
Read MoreTechnology Is A Pain In My A@$!
I have spent the last 2 hours of my day trying to do various things on a computer that should have taken 10 minutes and I want those other 110 minutes back! I typed a blog post in word a few days ago because I was working off line and just went to copy and…

Alex wrote his first fan letter yesterday. He just got a book about R2-D2 from Star Wars and thinks that he is the greatest thing ever right now so he wanted to write him a letter. We drew R2-D2 a picture and then Alex wrote him a note that said ‘R2-D2, You are so cool. …
