Father’s Day Flashback Style

This past weekend, we celebrated Father's Day with this being Kevin's 4th Father's Day.  Emma wasn't born until July 17th, 2009 and will be 4 years old in a few short weeks, but she was still very much alive and in our hearts and minds already the month before her birth.  So, I do count that first Father's Day as technically his very first. Back then, we were so very anxious to be first time parents and just couldn't wait to have her.  I remember Kevin calling me each day from work in the weeks ... Read More!

What Does Good Commenting Look Like? Poll Included

Queen of Commenting!! Yes, I have been called this on few occasions, but even I have my moments as to why I am spending the good portion of my day as of late constantly connected.  Maybe it is a bit of Summer Fever, but still I have been itching to play hooky!!

Forever Young In Somewhere in the Back of My Mind

Most know if you read my blog that I just recently turned 36 years old.  I will be honest and tell you that the first time, I began to feel a bit older was right after I had Lily. I remember sitting in the hospital holding Lily for the first time, when it dawned on me that this would mostly likely be the last time I would hold a newborn that was my own. See, I had a very rough second pregnancy with her, was labeled high risk from placenta previa and was even hospitalized and subsequently put ... Read More!
