Sometimes I think having a choice makes things that much more difficult. I have written before about my hesitation and confusion about the HPV vaccine. Here we are a year later. I have no more knowledge – but the rumors continue to spread. Some feel the vaccine should be mandatory. Some think that thought is [...]
Each day around 1 o’clock as I sit here at my desk I hear a terrifying noise coming from the TV in a nearby room. It is the sound of a baby coughing – a very young baby. If you have ever seen the commercial for the pertussis vaccine, you know what I am talking [...]
As a child my house was pretty calm. Well, for the most part. Dinner was easy. Car rides, pretty simple. Everything overall was pretty peaceful. My house today is well, not so calm. It is borderline crazy. Dinner is loud. Car rides are complicated with who will sit where, who is getting dropped off at [...]
With all the sad news in the world this week I decided to change gears a bit. I don’t usually post too many videos but love this one. It is both very funny and so true in all ways! Watch and see…. And for the record – I think high fructose corn syrup is [...]

Extending our school year will keep us up with other countries whose children attend school all year and are “smarter”. I get it – keeping up with the world [...]
I was doing all I can to not ‘go there’ with the bed bug issue, but just can’t help it. Ever since my kids were babies I would tell them when putting them to bed, “Don’t let the bed bugs bite“. Now, I hesitate to say this. It quickly reminds me of the outbreak of [...]
Me posting two days in a row? What is going on? Okay, I know it is very rare that I get a post up two days in a row, especially this summer! But I just had to let you all know about my post featured today over at Our Mommyhood. And what is it about? [...]
