Jack has "mad yoga skills"

Jack has a new passion this week — yoga. (This new passion was ignited even more when I bought a pink yoga mat.) Granted, all Jack knows of yoga are the few poses that I can remember from class (a class that is a mix of yoga, tai chi, and pilates), but that doesn’t stop [...]

Sometimes insurance companies aren’t the bad guys

One time, about two years ago, we tried to get a prescription filled at a pharmacy that we didn’t usually use. (It was late at night and ours was closed.) Luckily, the prescription was cheap, because they insisted that the insurance company was indicating that Molly wasn’t on our insurance. They even appeared to call [...]

About marriage…

I have been trying to get ready for my afternoon as Molly is in her room not really napping, and I am thinking of Eric. I was thinking how funny it is to be so much like someone else, but also so different. I typically think of us as having pretty different personalities that just [...]

The Devil works for Hershey

That just must be it…the Devil works for Hershey. I will admit, I’m not even that big of a chocolate eater. If I had to give up sweets forever or carbs (more like your bread/pasta carbs) forever, I wouldn’t even really have to think about it too long. But, man oh man — these darn [...]

Oh the horror! (aka ketchup isn’t meant for everything)

Well, first, I must make note that Noah brought home a spelling test with a grade of 90% this week, as well as a DOL (daily oral language) test that was a 100%. WooHoo!!!! We were SO thrilled! (And, we will be make a trip to the ever fun [or not] Chuck E. Cheese to [...]

Isn’t it funny how relative time is?

Time is a relative kind of thing. I have been thinking about the passage of time a lot this week. And, although I do get that kind of idea in my head from time to time, this time it comes for a reason. I am 30. And, I must admit that I hardly even remember [...]

It’s like being a kid again!

We have had a pretty snow-less winter thus far. And, in my opinion, that is just fine. Sure…it’s pretty enough, but I hate when it gets icy, as it always seem to do with the snow. It sucks to walk on and it sucks to drive on. So, they were finally calling for some snow [...]

Truly Random Reflections (long posting)

I haven’t had a chance to get on for a few days, and so, from the Random Reflections from Angie blog come some Truly Random Reflections from the last several days… *I think I have whiplash. Seriously. I was shopping at Target on Saturday afternoon and was going to leave. I was about to pull [...]

Things I Never Would Have Expected…

Last night, Eric and I talked to our priest about children after our RCIA meeting, and so that kind of had the idea of kids on my brain last night. I started pondering about some of the things that have surprised me about being a mother, and that also led me into thinking about just [...]

4 x 7 = 42 (aka It’s hard to argue about math)

I have come to realize that perhaps some of the most difficult arguments can be about math. Sure, I’m sure people can have an intelligent argument out the ying-yang about some math concept or theory. I’m talking about good old, simple mathematics, particularly when it comes to money. And, this also leads me to send [...]
