all about me

Don’t be a pain in the ass parent.

September 21, 2011

I read this article on CNN.com, written by Ron Clark.  I’ll give you a moment to go read it.  I was going to write my own diatribe but basically I COMPLETELY 100% AGREE WITH HIM!!!  No need to rewrite what he so eloquently and respectfully wrote about the teacher-parent relationship. In my not so eloquent words, [...]

You’re going to hate me, then nod in agreement…

May 2, 2011

I’ve always been small. Thin. Skinny. Slender. It is what it is.  The most I ever weighed is when I waddled into the hospital at 39 weeks pregnant.  I was 149lbs.  I know, you hate me.   I’ve never quite understood the confidence shattering shopping trips. {Until today}  Sure I had times where clothing didn’t fit [...]

It’s only a hobby.

March 11, 2011

I was only 60 seconds into my wall sit, quads burning, but I held strong and our conversation about Facebook continued.  It’s nice to get going on a subject and not think about the burning in your muscles when you face another 120 seconds against the wall….or longer. My mind wandered off and thought about [...]

Early spring cleaning.

March 2, 2011

On my way home from the library I found a second hand boutique.  It’s like an addiction for me to find high end consignment/boutique type stores.  I live for finding a great deal and still wearing or owning nice, higher end items and clothes.  I also love consigning at these shops because I have so [...]

Style stumped a {CONTEST}

February 28, 2011

I’m style stumped.  I can put together a killer outfit, complete with the trendiest accessories and makeup…IN MY HEAD.  But when I try to make it happen…I fall flat…flat on my no make up face.  So this is where you come in.  I need your help.  I need you to dress me.  Seriously. I’m the [...]

The only thing hip are my hips.

February 19, 2011

I rarely get out alone.  JPW rarely gets out alone.  It’s just not “in the cards” right now.  After my minor breakdown the other day JPW told me to do something, anything.  So,  I headed out to meet up with a local photography group to work on a photo challenge.  I was really excited about [...]

A fresh, old memory.

February 15, 2011

It’s hard to remember those first few weeks and, sometimes months, with a newborn.  Although, there are moments that I’ll never forget. A breastfeeding memory that is still so fresh… I drove up to the class hesitantly, lugged Ryann, my over sized diaper bag and insecurities into the room. I sat near my friend Haley.  [...]

I’ll never be “behind” in blogging.

January 31, 2011

It was 6:18am when I noticed the clock, I rubbed my eyes and headed to the bathroom.  I knew once I slunk back into bed there was no falling  asleep; so I scooted up next to JPW, my back pressed against his and read under the covers.  I enjoyed the quiet and rhythmic breathing of [...]

Striding towards friendships.

January 24, 2011

Last year I won a gift certificate for two months unlimited attendance to Stroller Strides.  I had been putting off using that gift certificate for logistical reasons.  There were no classes near my house on the days I was home.  The times of the classes near my work were during babies nap times and then [...]

Changes.

January 14, 2011

A lot has changed recently, and it all happened rather quickly.  I have a lot to blog about, I have a lot of to-do lists started and I’m excited to accept the change, move forward and take off running.  My mind has been racing with so many ideas and many of you have been sticking [...]
