MIRACLE on ice …

MIRACLE on ice …

No I am not referring to when the U.S. men’s hockey team defeated the Soviets in the 1980 winter Olympics. The miracle that I am going to share with you today is the story of my engagement to the love of my life. If you would have told me 2 yrs ago that that summer I would meet the man of my dreams and be completely head over heels in love with my best friend I would have told you that you were ce...

Yes, you read the title correctly…today I am talking about mom poop! As a new parent, you know what to look for in your infant’s poop (texture, color, when it should come, etc.), you may even cheer when they do their first one, but nobody EVER talks about what its like for the new mama to pass her first poop after birth!

Infertility – 1 Samuel 1:27

Infertility – 1 Samuel 1:27

A little over a year ago, my husband and I shared this video with our family and friends. For anyone struggling with infertility, please don’t give up. It’s worth it all. I’m hesitant to post this because I’ve been on the other side – constantly seeing success stories while I was still waiting for mine. But I want to encourage people to keep fighting the good fight.

Breast Augmentation Surgery: What It’s Really Like. Part 1: Initial Thoughts

I believe it started with the phrase “Itty Bitty Titty Committee”, that’s the phrase that was what was mumbled to me in early high school. I realized I was not destined for a curvaceous womanly body; I was just a normal girl, with a normal body, and small breasts. I came to terms with my small chest. I knew which Victoria’s Secret bras would give me the ultimate effect of c... Read More »

Dear US Airways

Dear US Airways

  Dear US Airways, Your customer service stinks, bad. You definitely need to work on your automated man who answers the phone when you call your 1-800 number because he stinks too. I called to book my flight using a reward travel certificate (that you can only use by booking over the phone – which is ridiculous) and was asked to “call back” at least 20 times, due to bad weat...

Song Lyrics Gone Wrong

You’ve done it, you know you have. You’ve completely butchered, or even made up, song lyrics. It’s okay, it happens to the best of us. Who cares if the words “make sense” anyway? The important thing is that they roll off your tongue smoothly. It’s awesome when you catch someone blatantly singing the wrong words; you laugh, call them out, and then try to put toge... Read More »
