The C-Section: What It’s Really Like

The C-Section: What It’s Really Like

Oh, a C-Section? I’ll take it! Most women think this is the “easier” route because you don’t have a push something the size of a bowling ball out your you-know-what, but I’m here to tell you a different story. This post is strictly about my personal experience (but a lot of other moms have agreed with me) and I do not have any medical background to support my claims; ... Read More »

Creating Memories Together

The Best Thing About MEMORIES …..is making them. “We don’t remember days, we remember moments.” Cesare Pavese I was driving in the car the other day with my two young daughters in the back seat. They were listening to the radio and singing along to one of the songs. All of a sudden my youngest stops and says, “I need to make memories so later in life I can remember how good my life was.”  I instan... Read More »

The Scissors | WIRL Project

Thoughts on “The Scissors”

It wasn’t until I was in my twenties, that I learned I was a mistake. I was sitting at my parent’s dinner table. We were just chit-chatting about life, school, and other, you know, normal, non-life-altering conversations that could make you re-think your entire being, when it casually came out. “A mistake?” I said. My dad looked at me like I had ten heads. Then, in his thic... Read More »

Why I Love to Workout | WIRL Project

Why I Love to Workout

This topic is near and dear to me. As a kid I was never an athlete. Didn’t like team sports. Couldn’t run, jump or catch. Finally in my 20’s I started working out like Jane Fonda. Aerobic classes were much more my style. I was modeling at the time and knew if I was to continue doing swimsuit work I’d better find something to keep the “bottom line” in place! As t...

What Workingout REALLY Means to Me | WIRL Project

What Working Out REALLY Means To Me

I am not a gym type of person and I always tried to avoid physical exercise. Nevertheless, now that I am on the 4th decade of my life, I see my metabolism slow down and only through exercise am I able to boost things up a bit. I try to walk 15 to 20 minutes per day and this helps me maintain my figure to almost the same shape as it used to be when I was younger! It is hard for me to change attitud... Read More »

Crap Three Year Old Says

Crap My Three Year Old Says

Arden turned three in March, but has run the roost since she was just a couple months old. We knew that she’d be a spitfire but, given the choice, I still would have preferred a spitfire over a wallflower. I’ll likely be eating those words when she’s a teenager. As parents, part of our jobs is embarrassing our kids, usually not on purpose, when they get older. This entails showing up at school dro... Read More »

Stress Doesn’t Last Forever

Stress Doesn’t Last Forever

From time to time we all stress out about something. Whether it be school, work, friends or family, stress seems to be the “dark cloud” in our daily lives. There may be times when you think that you might as well give up, times when you think nothing could be worse! But that doesn’t have to be the case! Turning to television for comfort is something that we are all guilty of. Oft... Read More »
