  There are times I wonder what I'm doing at home. While all my friends are at work Why did I get a Master's degree When I don't even get a salary I look at my kids and shake my head For my momentary lapse of intelligence I'm here because I chose my children over all So I can guide their steps while they're still small [this image is pinnable. hover on it and click the pinit button on top right corner.]           ...continue reading

Bathtub Fun

Sorry for the two copyright logos.  I'm experimenting to see which one is better.  Which one do you think I should use? Anywho, this is CJ - my almost 2 year old, who for the first time ever, was able to climb into the master tub without any help.  Yikes!  Right?  I'll have to keep a gate up between my bath and my room at all times from now on. Boy, do they grow up fast or what? But doncha just love that smile?  Who could get mad at that?       ...continue reading

A Look Back

IMAG0761

Once upon a time... ...on June 28th of year 2012, to be in exact... ...I looked "not half bad" in this Hello Kitty t-shirt. Let's just say that you wouldn't catch me dead or alive posting a pic of me now in that shirt. The moral of the story? Don't eat rice every day of the week when you have to stay at your mom's house for a month. THE END            ...continue reading

It's been half a month and I'm still here.  Pushin' it like mad.  I'm not revealing any numbers yet until I've survived at least the 1st month, but I can tell you that I DO feel stronger and faster.  If you scroll to the last pic, you'll see that after 2 weeks, there's definitely a great improvement on my Fit Test numbers. I'm doing this, people.  Cheer me on. { Please click on the first image for a better viewing experience. } INSANITY.  It's what I do. Click here to GET INSANE WITH ME!           ...continue reading

3 Going On 30

3 going on 30

She just really cracks me up.  I told her we were going to the mall so I needed her to get ready.  I picked her shirt and pants, and told her to put her boots on and wait for me downstairs... She came in to my room looking like this!  SO CUTE! Do you notice the totally 80s rainbow scrunchie she's converted into a bracelet? (I swear it's not mine and I don't use it.)  Her purse has 3 pennies - which she thinks are worth $1 each, a piece of torn scrap paper, and a small fake flower.  Her shoes are on the wrong feet.  And the hat and a necklace totally completes her ensemble, no? I can't believe she's 3.  Growing up too fast, I tell you.  Too fast.          ...continue reading
