Me in August 2009 (left) on vacation in North Carolina and me in August 2010 (right), where I weighed about 6 pounds less. If my wellness were a Coen brothers movie right now it would be titled, “Oh metabolism, where... Continue reading →

The mind of the rapidly approaching 40 female is a landmine of hormones, irrational thoughts, and fleeting whimsy. Or maybe that’s just me. Although I have absolutely zero desire to have another baby (and the hubby is right beside me), my... Continue reading →

This is quite possibly the longest post I’ve ever written, but I want to record these things before they slip away. You might want to skip it if you don’t enjoy reading birth stories or are eating liver and onions.... Continue reading →

Next Time Maybe I’ll Wear Toe Socks
