I’ve defeated other addictions in the past (that is for another post. Or maybe not.) I will say that sugar is the hardest addiction I’ve worked to conquer yet, as almost everyone around me partakes in it. It is so ubiquitous.… Continue Reading

Homemade Honey & Almond Facial Scrub
Although I haven’t tried it yet, it would feel like a super luxurious spa day if I were to use this as a whole body scrub. I also want to try it over my entire back, where my skin tends to be a bit neglected. It could be applied with a back brush. I’ll just have to have my husband hose me off in the backyard when I’m finished. Just kidding. I’ll risk a hot shower.… Continue Reading

New Years(ish) Front Room Spruce Up
In my last post, I mentioned the piles of stuff I’ve had to deal with lately. Here are photos of the state of my front room, taken a couple of days ago. I finally got up the gumption to straighten up the room. I took down the tree, organized the ornaments, and wound the lights… Continue Reading

Baby Cravings
So, I’ve been wanting to have another baby. Even though the hubs and I have taken fairly permanent measures to prevent this, I can’t watch TV anymore because they are always showing cute, chubby-cheeked, snuggly babies on it. Maybe I should watch more of the Spike network. Pretty sure the only babes they show are of the scantily-clad, buxom, 17-24 variety. … Continue Reading

Let’s Go to the Snow!
Gryphon immediately began to wail the moment his hands touched the snow. I guess he hadn’t been prepared for its cold sting on his soft baby skin. My dad and I couldn’t help but laugh at this as I brushed the snow dust off of Gryphy’s icy little hands and slipped a pair of socks, the makeshift mittens I’d brought, onto them. As you can see from the photos, we don’t own much gear to properly outfit us for snowy environments.… Continue Reading

Despite Our Heavy Hearts, Wishing You Peace and Love This Season
I believe that the sweet precious little angels would not want any of us to be sad for too long. They wouldn’t want to let whatever form of mental illness that the person (I can’t bring myself to call him a man, and person is a stretch, too- idiot, maybe?) who took their lives was going through to sicken our spirits this holiday season. I am not saying to forget about these sweet babies. We can honor, respect and cherish them as our own children. The purest of souls would want for us to enjoy this holiday with empathy, gratitude, love and light.… Continue Reading

My Daughter’s Grandfather-Induced Thanksgiving Meltdown
I tried to quickly explain that she should essentially be patient and understanding with her Ga-Ga, as truly, he means well and knows not what he does. However, I was also literally in the heated midst of bringing the entire Thanksgiving food orchestra to its crescendo; I felt I couldn’t take a time out to soothe her wounded psyche. Looking back, maybe I should have done so anyway. Would it have really mattered if the stuffing was burned or the potatoes were cold? I did feel badly for her although I didn’t entirely grasp the intensity with which she was feeling this emotional bruise. Fortunately, her dad took her aside and counseled her gently, helping her to breathe through the moment and to calm down. Somehow his kind spirit brought her back to a happy place. I see that as nothing less than a miracle. She seemed to have a great time for the rest of the day.… Continue Reading
