The Results are In, Sorta…

So I had my 20 week ultrasound on Friday and it looks like there is a good chance that the D Family male curse may be broken.  Meaning that after Grandma D had 5 boys, my MIL had 4 boys and I have had 2 boys it looks like I may be having a girl or at least 75% [...]

Sick and Tired or Tired and Sick?

So I was feeling fine for awhile now but now I am pretty tired after work which may just be part of the new job.  Used to go home and not think about work and now I have so many things I am wondering if I forgot to do or trying to remember to do [...]

Interview with ME

My good blogging buddy over at The Diaper Diaries  posted this on her blog and I had to be next.

If you want me to interview you leave me a comment saying “Interview me.” I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions. If you don’t have a valid email address [...]

Eating Locally

I was tagged  or challenged for you nonbloggers by Big Binder to make a meal or few of them made from only locally made products where I live, so items within 100 miles of my hometown.  So I actually did it, and some of it by accident.

So Teary Eyed

I am not an overly emotional gal.  I will cry at a good tear jerker but for the most part I am pretty sob free.  Of course that is before pregnancy hormones set in.  I find myself getting teary eyed over commercials, previews for upcoming TV shows, and even the slightest event in a movie.

Twice as Nice, Who Moi?

Ok so now I have been voted as being nice twice now so the guilt is getting to me.  My friend Big Binder and blogging buddies over at Mommin it Up have passed this wonderful award on to me so now I am passing it on to at least two nice people I know.  Thank [...]

Remembering the Small Stuff…

The other afternoon I was driving alone in my car, a rare occurance unless it it to or from work.  But in these quiet moments my thoughts drifted to my kids and the things they have said, been interested in or done over the last few years of their young lives.  I realize that I need [...]

Maternity Clothing vs. The Real World

Ok, I am offically sending out a challenge to maternity clothing designers everywhere.  I hope they google these three letters and hit my blog because I am mad and writing about it.
This season the look is babydoll with the adorable stripe of fabric that is supposed to accentuate the bust line.  Well that is fine [...]

Kit Kat III Arrives

Our family was not feeling diverse enough so we decided to add a little siamese to our life.  After a visit this summer to see my grandfather and aunt my kids fell in love with grandpa’s cat – Kit Kat II.  They talked about Kit Kat for weeks.  So since we can never add a dog to [...]

Eat Locally

My buddy Big Binder is taking the Eat Local challenge in Grand Rapids and I solute her.  I love to support local businesses and that would include restraunts and produce made right in our own backyard.  I think that is why I love Horrocks because they seem to carry a lot of locally made produce [...]
