The triumphant Return!

Good Morning! Tomorrow is the first day of October!!!    So we took a little break from blogging last week because Kyra was having a rough weekend. Teething is really hard on her and we had some long nights followed with some even longer days. So blogging took a backseat to cuddling my little angel and doing my best to try and make her feel better. This week is looking a little better...

Thoughtful Thursday

Good Morning, Watching Julie/Julia, which combines two things I love...food and blogging. Now I'm not a huge fan of Julie's portion of the movie. The idea is neat and it makes for good blogging material but honestly it is not as intriguing as Julia's portion. I love the story of her learning to cook, love to hear about her great love affair with her husband....food and romance, what more could...

S.O.S.

I am floundering. Drowning. Flailing. Sinking. I will just come clean and admit it. I am hopelessly lost. It's the weight loss thing. I cannot seem to get my mind around it.

I just have no idea where to begin now. There is so much information...

Back up to my Weekly Shenanigans

Welcome Back Everyone! Amazingly enough the weekend is over again, and although I am a stay at home momma now and Monday morning does not hold the same pain that it once did, you could say that every day is  my Monday but since I love my job so much I am inclined to think of every day as my Friday! Still the weekends are wonderful because the hubby gets to spend them with us and this past weekend...
