8 years! I really can’t believe it. 8 years old. Seems like just yesterday when we started the whole egg retrieval/IVF thing. I can still remember standing in our old townhouse bathroom (with the sea-shell shaped sinks!) as BAGD gave me shots in my stomach every night. I remember throwing up as we drove home [...]

Will it or won’t it? We won’t really know until tomorrow afternoon, but they are saying we could have 12-18 inches by the time its done. As of right now…we got squat. But they say tomorrow afternoon is the real start. We’ll let you know how bad it really gets. 18 inches of snow would [...]

I saw this inspiring post with a recipe for Oreo Cupcakes. They seemed like they would be tasty, and perfect for our 8th Birthday celebration, so the girls and I got to work. This recipe had a lot of good jobs for little hands. They had to twist apart the cookies, lay the opened cookies [...]

so I could give proper credit. I made a quick and simple (and cheap) Valentines Day garland with Scrapbook paper, cut into strips measuring 1.5 x 6 inches. Once the pieces are cut (thanks for the paper cutter you gave me on Xmas 2009, BAGD!) just feed them through your sewing machine. You did know [...]

Check out this super awesome painting Giggles and I scored at Goodwill for $4.99. I think I sort of love it. I’m not sure why. Except that if Pookie was to paint pigs, this is how he would do it. Its a real painting, framed at Michael’s. It has the air of a trained amateur, [...]

Geetle: Mom, do you know about those keychains that are made out of beads? They are shaped like bees and alligators and stuff. BAGM: Yeah, I think I know the ones you mean. Geetle: Can I make one of those? Can we get some beads? Like for my backpack? Like a lizard or something? Good [...]

Its clearly an attempt by Healthy Choice to remove themselves from any liability that might result from their product. Botulism? You didn’t cook it to high enough temperature. No settlement for you! Severe Steam Burns? You cooked it too long. No settlement for you! Bugs and sticks in the entree? If you had cooked it [...]

The fourth week of January 2002, BAGD and I thought we might never have any kids. We had tried artificial insemination twice. I had already had an egg retrieval and tried IVF once. We weren’t quite sure where to go from there. The fourth week of January 2003, we were waiting for the birth of [...]

Pookie has many scripts. Many things he says and does repeatedly. Many things he does each time a certain situation arises. We are trying to help him become aware of these things and stop them. Right now, we are working on two specific scripts. The first is his script for entering the front door. Every [...]

I finished Giggles’ new Maisy dress! And only 8 days after I bought the fabric! That is some kind of record for me. Its a simple sun dress with a pocket that I figured we can extend into winter wear with a turtleneck and leggings. Pretty cute, if I do say so myself. I really [...]
