Somebody thinks the toys are for her!
Also, I am getting a kick out of that little ticker on my sidebar that currently reads “sleeping most of the time”, because little boy does everything BUT sleep these days! I can now distinguish little limbs poking through and it is SO STRANGE and COOL.

The last 5 years is more than I could have asked for. If you had told me 5 years ago that this is where we would be now, I would have laughed in your face. So I am not going to try and imagine what the next 5 years will be like. But if it’s [...]

So last week at my acupuncture appointment, the therapist asked me if I eat a lot of dairy. I replied that I basically mainline the stuff all day – just short of an IV in my arm all day, pumping melted cheese and yogurt into my veins. Anyway, she suggested that I cut it out, [...]

As I mentioned last week, I ordered some books on migraine management. One was actually recommended to me by a masseuse I saw, and wasn’t actually about migraines, but about how many of our ailments are caused by our dehydration.

So fellow adoption blogger Nicole [...]

This is a story that has nothing to do with adoption. Or infertility.
A few months ago, I noticed some mouse turds in one of the kitchen drawers. I cleaned them up and decided to just wait to see if they reappeared. I hoped the little squirt that left them had since moved on to greener [...]

Not really much going on here. Well, that’s not exactly true. I got lots of news this week, some of it really exciting and some really sad. Still trying to sort all that out in my head. Will report back when I can communicate things appropriately.
But today I got my first issue of Adoptive Families [...]

Whitney Houston practically sang the soundtrack to my young adolescent life. I would load up her [...]
