June 6, 2008 by Elaine

Vaccines. I wasn’t even going to bring this up but well, we are off to the doctor today and after reading A LOT in the last couple of days I am pretty freaked out. Both boys are required to get some shots today. Both boys are my heart and soul and I would never want…

Who’s in Charge Here? Oh, Me!

May 29, 2008 by Elaine

So I had a moment today while I was vacuuming the den, making sure that all the glass was off of the floor from the broken snow globe, (I know, you have lots of questions after that statement – I will get to them later) when I started to wonder how I got here and…
