So you probably know that two months ago I had a little boy – my second – and I have definitely blogged before about the issues I’ve had with my weight. Well after pregnancy #2 I’m left with 10 lbs on top of the 35 lbs I had stuck to me after pregnancy #1. Without kids [ READ MORE ]
Today I dedicate this post to my dad. Growing up, my dad was the kind of dad who would do anything for his kids. I know he did many, MANY things he didn’t want to do and I know he worried more about me and my brother than he perhaps had to… because he loved us [ READ MORE ]

Lately we’ve been making a habit of going to John Lawson Park after work. Either my husband or I will pick up mini-man from daycare and we’ll meet at the park. Big-man will pick up something to eat or pack a picnic at home and I’ll bring my running gear and enjoy the seawall while the [ READ MORE ]
I’ve been on hiatus. I haven’t been online much other than for work lately. In the last month I haven’t touched either of my blogs nor have I spent much time on Twitter or reading my feeds even. My Google Reader has over 1000 unread items and I haven’t had the energy or the inclination to [ READ MORE ]
