I Cheated….

on my cloth diapers!
Lily got a yeast based diaper rash, and I decided it best to buy disposables to be able to treat the rash without worrying about ruining the cloth. It KILLED me to buy that package of diapers, but it was more important to be certain we got that rash treated.
Not too long [...]

Spring Cleaning, Day 4

Wednesday was my final day of freedom babysitting for the grand spring cleaning adventure, so I thought it best to do a good cleaning throughout to prepare for the professional carpet and tile cleaning.
I tackled the kitchen first by doing the few dishes that were hanging out. I wiped down all of the counter tops [...]

A Lovely Morning!

I had the pleasure of going to the Denver Botanic Gardens today and it was truly wonderful! The lovely Jenna and her daughter Laina, met me and Lily there and they have a free pass for visitors, so that was such a blessing!
It was so peaceful and beautiful there. The girls were quite well behaved [...]

Spring Cleaning, Day 3

Weeeelll, this day wasn’t nearly as productive as I would have liked. I had to make a trip to the ER on Saturday for a scratched  cornea, and was still in pain and tired from the lack of sleep.
I did, however, get the bathroom deep cleaned and organized, which was an acceptable level of accomplishment, [...]

Dreaded Mail

I received a card in the mail a few days ago. Nothing fancy. Cute cover. In it contained an apology. A too quick apology. The wounds are still too fresh and I am not open to it, apology.
I was raised quite well, and because of my upbringing, almost in every hour of every day since [...]

Spring Cleaning

Yeah, I know…it is nearly fall, but this is when I finally had time to do it. So there.
I had this brilliant idea the other whilst talking to a friend who does in home daycare. I have had a hard time catching up on household stuff since Lily was born and the shoulder surgery exacerbated [...]

Dieting Funk

I just can’t seem to commit. Towards the end of our “induction” on South Beach, Matt and I were miserable, and a trip home where carbs were PLENTIFUL, we both caved and gave in to temptation. A lot.
Of course, we could’ve gotten right back on track when we returned home, but that takes a lot [...]

Dinner Tonight

I thought it might be slightly more entertaining if I provided my recipes in more of a visual way. Tonight, we made Chicken Piccata with Fried Capers and Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms courtesy of Kalyn’s Kitchen. She has a nifty little blog that does a monthly round-up of South Beach phase one recipes that [...]
