Five
Monday, September 13, 2010
So here it is. September 12. 5 years ago, I remember thinking “I can’t believe she is a week old already.” Huh. You blink and a week has gone by. Blink again and it’s been five years. I’m writing this post at 11:30 p.m. I can’t sleep. I need to sleep because we have to [...]
A Lofty Fitness Goal
Thursday, July 22, 2010
My sister just turned 40. Shhh don’t tell anyone! It got me thinking that I will be 40 in three years. Shhh don’t tell anyone! Anyway, I decided that I would like to do something epic physically and after much deliberation I’ve decided to train for an Olympic Distance Triathlon. It’s a 1.5 km swim, [...]
Along for the Ride
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Today Elise is a fairy with a pet unicorn on a leash and I am afraid of it but don’t worry, I can pet it because she holds it tightly so she won’t jump up. Yesterday she was a puppy called Scamp and Daniella was a puppy called Angel. Yesterday Daniella was a broomstick and [...]

Erin, yes I am referring to him as “the old dog”, is learning a new trick. He is changing his ways. He is choosing to eat a piece of fruit instead of ice cream. He is choosing to do something productive, like small home projects, instead of watching TV. He is choosing to go to [...]
Tucking in for Girls Night
Friday, June 4, 2010
Long time no blog. Terrible for someone who’s supposed to be a writer! I was going to post a FB status update but decided to do this instead. The girls and I have a new tradition. When Erin is out for the evening we have a girls night. We watch a movie while we are [...]
No Facebook, Now What Do I Do?
Saturday, May 15, 2010
After a few days of contemplation, I have decided to quit Facebook. It was a colossal time sink and even worse there is the ongoing privacy issues that seem to do nothing but get worse. So now I will know nothing about all my friends and I will be forced to actually talk to them. [...]
A toilet training miracle
Monday, March 15, 2010
Out of the blue Daniella decided to start toilet training to surprise Papa when he got home from his business trip. The first day went as you would expect – a lot of wet pants and use of my Little Green Machine on the carpet. By that evening, she did a poop on the potty [...]
Being Healthy
Monday, March 8, 2010
We have been making a concerted effort to become healthier in both food and lifestyle and yesterday I realized why more people don’t do it. Because it’s hard. Not only that people and organizations do not think about the bigger picture. Here are two examples of why it is hard: Miss Nella has a keen [...]
