I'm a little late to the blogging world but in case you haven't heard, the holidays have come and gone.

The Great Binky Take Away
Before we left for Aruba, the binky attachment was at an all time high. We told Cora that when we returned, the binky was going to go bye-bye. We talked about how her friends don't have binkies and she was a big girl now. She basically gave zero shits about those reasoning's and every time we [...]
When your final day has come
My Dad died two days after Cora turned 2 and two days before our 5 year wedding anniversary, on a Sunday, at the age of 57. He squeezed himself right in there just so we wouldn't forget. We packed up the truck with everything but the kitchen sink, prepared to stay at my Mom's for [...]

The Vacation-Dominican Republic
The day of my surgery I was in a hospital bed emailing my travel agent. We needed a vacation. Whenever life gets really tough for me, I take flight. I run somewhere that I can breathe and take a step back. By just booking a trip it gives me something to focus on. Not that [...]
Losing the “Busy” Excuse
Last night a friend of mine rang and I let it go to voicemail since we were sitting down for dinner. Once I listened to her voicemail she had listed out her schedule for the week and how "busy" she would be and how "busy" life is and so on. If I could try to find [...]
