National Mom’s Nite Out (the virtual Atlanta edition–kinda)

May 7, 2009 blogging

Last Mother’s Day I was pregnant. I had a 2 year old. And I don’t think I got one Mother’s Day present. I remember I planned lunch for my mom and got her gifts. I also had dinner to honor my mother-in-law…where she also got gifts from me. I’m pretty sure that my daughter had [...]

I’m Giving Away Sleep!

October 27, 2008 baby

It’s been five weeks of my new little pirate. Five whole weeks of newborn diapers, sweet baby smiles, cuddly blankets, and tiny clothes. It’s also been five whole weeks of feedings every 3 hours, screaming fests and sleepless nights. As wonderful as a newborn is, it can also be the scariest most aggravating time of [...]

Thinking and Blogging

October 22, 2008 blogging

When I first started blogging, it wasn’t a record of my day or a way to keep up with my internet friends. It was just a creative outlet for me. I’d sit down and think of an event in my day and how I could turn it into a post. How could I write about [...]
