and baby makes 6!

Tonight, I have discussed the topic of Blogher with my husband.
The vote was: GO!!
Things that must be considered in the future:
-how to bring a blender in my suit case during post 9-11 lockdown
-since Chris is highly allergic to bananas, and we are sharing a room, do we go with lime, or strawberry [...]

Quinn, upon seeing Mia’s pictures in my last post:
“She is smiling because of a washrag? She is weird.”

Yesterday my husband put on a pair of scrubs. He went with my friend the anesthesiologist to the hospital to intubate people. If you are the primary practitioner in an ER, you must be able to intubate. Airways are very, very important and must be kept open….always remember; airway, airway, airway. [...]

Yes. She always looks at him like that.

Mia turned 3 yesterday. She told me when she was 3yo she would be a big girl and would not drink boobies anymore. It has been a week now since she last nursed, so it looks like that phase of our life together is over. I have asked her if she wants [...]

Do you want to see what I won??? I really, actually won something, which never happens to me!
I won a pair of Vincent Shoes for my daughter! I was browsing at the wonderful Boutique Cafe, and I saw this post. I left a comment, and I won!

Bill and I are not touristy type people. We prefer our hikes to be in secluded areas and to be more like survival marches. We have a history of pushing things to the very limits of our endurance. Like sailing in a sailboat race during a hurricane, because, God knows how fast [...]

For everyone with snow, I must apologize in advance. There will be references to temps in the 90’s, sun, blue skies etc, etc, blah, blah, blah.
We are in the midst of Spring Break, and the kids have been liberated from the nuns and priests (not your typical nuns and priests. The nuns are [...]

Gin Freeze
-1/2 blender full of ice
-4 oz Gin
-3 Tablespoons Frozen Bacardi Real Lime Mixer
Blend until very smooth. Coat rim of rocks glass with lime flavored sugar (or plain sugar), [...]

My son had a friend come spend the night, and having discussed between themselves what they wanted to do while here, I was informed a visit to the creek was in my future. Complete with toddler in tow.
It was sunny, warm and a perfect afternoon for a hike! I grabbed the backpack, the [...]

HALLO! How are ya?
I feel alot like I have had a gag in my mouth this week, computer wise.  Real life has been like, I don’t know, maybe a bit on the side of fanflippintastic, if not a bit weird.
I mean, Bill and I wake up together, get the kids off to school as usual, then he [...]
