Review This last year and a half has been pretty crazy. I was like 52 weeks pregnant with Ev when E was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis. When Ev was 8 days old, Ell was put under to have a cortisone injection in her knee. Then the physical therapy began. A few months later she started […]
We’re Going on a Lizard Hunt {aka Mommy Needs Exercise}
JUNE is like…in a couple days and that means its summer. Summer means hot weather and…gulp…bathing suits. And for me this also means Hawaii in August. Needless to say the eating-whatever-I-want-because-I’m-breastfeeding lifestyle is dwindling down and my favorite jeans are tighter than I would like. I have joined up with some friends to take part […]
Arthritis Walk 2012!
It was a BUSY weekend….which is why this will be a quick post. We participated in our local Arthritis Walk on Saturday in honor of my daughter E who has Juvenile Arthritis. In fact, my daughter was the honoree for the walk. It was a FANTASTIC time…the event was amazing and the committee did an […]
“Is He Talking Yet?” & Other Annoying Questions
Every Wednesday I drop my daughter off at preschool, grab a latte, and then Ev and I head off to do our grocery shopping. We go to a small grocery store that has that small town feel (I grew up in a small town so I love this) where the shelves don’t go to the […]

Join Us in Our Fight Against Juvenile Arthritis!
I know that I usually post free stuff on my blog on Fridays. However today I am taking a break from making and sharing freebies to focus on something that is very important to me: Juvenile Arthritis. What is Juvenile Arthritis? Juvenile Arthritis is NOT the “arthritis” that most people think of when they hear […]
Happy Spring Break!
Well today marks the beginning of Spring Break! I know some of you may have had it this last week, or maybe will have it the week after next but for us, it is this coming week! I’m looking forward to spending more time with my kiddos (we have a few “playdates” planned) and keeping […]
{Mostly} Wordless Wednesday
I love how even when it is F R E E Z I N G outside kids don’t care…they run, jump, bike and play anyway! It’s S P R I N G! Enjoy the outdoors! And a bonus one in case you didn’t see it on my Facebook…my son Ev sporting his […]
I’m All Out Of Spoons
Today, I am all out of spoons. And it is only 1:30pm. Christine Miserandino, a woman living with Lupus, came up with The Spoon Theory. In an effort to explain to a friend of hers what it is like to live with a chronic and invisible illness, she used a handful of spoons to represent […]
How We are Learning Sign Language
I hope you all had a chance to read the guest post recently by fellow Speech Pathologist Kristy from Hear My Hands. She shared some great info with us about the benefits of using sign language with (hearing) infants and toddlers. She will be joining us with another guest post soon, to give us all some […]
