This is the perfect family-friendly game to play with your loved ones! It suits all ages AND can be played EVERY single night.  My family played this game for the very first time the other night. Oh yes, it was as much fun as they say!! Players:  Four players maximum (any more than four, play […]

I never set out to raise a foodie, it just happened! (Well, I’m not really surprised seeing that I basically raised my son in the kitchen!).  Even before having children I decided that I was going to do whatever I could to encourage them to take risks when it came to tasting new foods, even […]

Who would have thought that I would still be roaming around the blogoshpere after one year?!  I myself had no clue as to how long I would be able to keep this blog going, especially after having two children! Blogging for me, is a sort of online journal of recipes, food for thought and a […]

Before I became one, I always wondered why moms found it SO hard to find the time to take a shower, make a meal, brush their teeth, wear anything other than pj’s all day long, the list goes on… Well, now that I’ve joined the “hood” I’m kicking myself in my postpartum behind because I […]

Now that my son has reached toddlerhood the time has come for me to experience first-hand what I’ve heard other parents discussing (or more like arguing over) for years…the never-ever ending debate: How much TV time is too much? Here is the guilty party in question: (Looks pretty innocent to me!) I’ve been caught in […]

They’re HEEEERE (or at least I think they are)….the “Terribile Twos!” I’m sure every parent can relate to this post (and every non-parent has heard of them!). It might be hard to believe that THIS little “angel” can in fact, sometimes act like a little devil! I posted an interesting article on Twitter a few […]

Have you read any ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas Parodies’ – those funny, sarcastic renditions of the iconic poem that was published 193 years ago? Christmas IS a time for giving, being with family, relaxing (depending on how many vacation days one gets!) but at the same time, it is so easy for us to […]

You might remember (from my last post, “Son of a Breech“) our dilemma regarding my Frank breech baby and our delivery options.  We had originally planned on an ecv but changed our minds at the last minute due to my dwindling amniotic fluid. Much to my dismay, we had to book a cesarean, which was […]

Mc-section is booked for 28 hours and 47 minutes from now (not that I’m counting down or anything!) I’m supposed to just “relax and not think about” the pending surgery procedure (sounds less invasive!). Anyone who knows me well knows this feat is nearly impossible. There’s not much to do on bed rest to keep […]

As you can see (from the title of this post) my second baby is breech…and I’m NOT a happy camper! I decided early on in my first pregnancy that I wanted to go natural and so I chose to have a doula (also a good friend of mine!).  To make a long story short, everything went […]
