Do NOT read this blog. Just don't. It's Bad ;->

The days have been stressful. Family can drive you crazy.

I'm in a silly mood. Just thought I'd share :->.

Beware the husband who rises before dawn

My husband is about the nicest person in the world. If you want a problem solved, he can figure out the solution. If you're in need of an encouraging word, he knows the right thing to say. In fact, he'd probably give you the shirt off his back, he's just that sweet.

Except in the morning. That is the time you see the dark side of the man I married - a guy I call the the doomsayer of dawn.

"I just don't remember winters being this bad before," he'll mutter as he gets dressed.…

Childbirth, Smart and Sexy

“Wait a minute!” you may be thinking. Childbirth is scary with lots of drama and pain! How could it possibly be “smart” and “sexy”? That’s just crazy, right?

Wrong. Let’s look at some facts about a woman’s body that enables her and for most women, to have a baby in the first place.

After a woman conceives through the old fashioned way (sex) or by Invetro fertilization (IVF), the embryo implants on the uterine wall and begins to grow. It is totally in the…

Leading Lines--A Mini-Photography Tutorial

From Rub Some Dirt On It, http://vermontwhitneys.blogspot.com

Since having kids, I have developed a very serious hobby taking and editing photos. I started using all automatic settings and only cropping and using red-eye reduction to now using only manual settings (with all their mistakes and mishaps) and obsessively editing on Lightroom. I also love to go online and read photography…

The Surprise Baby

People say that I’m brave for having six kids. My take is that it’s nothing compared to those crazy mamas whose kids are out of the baby stage when they go and immerse themselves right back into it. Imagine ditching diaper bags, sleepless nights and poopy bottoms only to return to them several years later. At least in my situation, I have not had a chance to come up for air…

The only way to quit is cold turkey!

My post

http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2011/01/quitting-pacifier-cold-turkey.html

Today is the day. It is the day I force my son to quit the pacifier aka "binky" cold turkey.

His last tooth (besides his 2 year molars) has come through this week so his teething days are pretty much over. Now he just uses the binky as pure addiction and I am sick…

Light Therapy - The "Prozac" to Winter Blues

My family was in for a major shock when we moved away from 16 years of living in the sunny Southwest to the Midwest with its grey winters. People were warning us that winters would be hard. Yeah, right. I was born in Montreal, I remember winters. Pfffft.

As we were visiting Chicago area homes in planning for our move, we scoffed at the particular homeowners that featured a closet with a standing tanning booth in it. “You’ll need this in the winter” they said. Yeah, right.…

Romantic Gift Ideas for Valentine's Day

If I am to be honest, Valentine’s Day is a far bigger deal for my daughters than it is for my husband and me. It seems that the school enjoys promoting this should-be celebration of undying love between two lovers as a vehicle to express friendship between classmates. Although we do not officially celebrate Valentine’s…

What Are Your Valentines Day Plans?

The Hubs and I love staying at Hilton Hotels. The hotel we love staying at down in the valley is the Hyatt Place. We love it because of its huge flat screen TV's and I especially love it because of its Starbucks right inside the hotel. An awesome way to treat yourself while on vacation and you don't even have to leave the hotel. There's just something about a luxurious hotel room that makes whispered sweet nothings sound even sweeter. Add a touch of elegance, a hint of indulgence, and you've… Continue

Fu**in' Perfect!

What can I say this chic really has it all and once again another song I love, there have only been a few songs of hers through out her career that I wasn't thrilled about, so I wasn't surprised she would produce once again another hit. I was excited when my husband got me P!nk's greatest hits album for Christmas, although I already had her album on Itunes I just wanted it, and now I get to listen to it in our new car since I can't hook my ipod up in it just yet...… Continue
