Soaking it Up
I’m starting a new job tomorrow, and I’m really excited about it. I will be doing customer service, sales, and marketing for a small local publisher. The job is so up my alley that it seems as if I was … Continue reading

When I found out that I was pregnant four years ago, I started reading parenting books right away. I wasn’t picky at first; any parenting book would do. I approached parenting the way that I’ve approached every new endeavor in … Continue reading
I Love Christmas
It had been a while since my last installment of lovey-dovies, I am long overdue for a gushing. It’s my favorite time of year and I’m full of holiday merriment. I love decorating for the holidays. I spread it out … Continue reading
