  • I saw a link to this offering for a free Obama button (no strings attached) on my friend DeAnne”s Facebook page. The buttons are actually pretty cool looking. Also, I feel like I am ready to wear on my sleeve who I am supporting in the presidential election because I DO want change. I believe [...]

    I am still dealing with the “Postpartum Blues”. Its hard to describe to someone what is it like to be experiencing this.

  • There are so few moments to sleep with a little one. Yesterday and today I did not get to nap during the day. This does happen but two days in a row with little sleep at night is rough. I have been rushing around catching up on chores since Billy got home from work. I [...]
