Thirty by thirty

The good news is this: As of last week, I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight. The bad news? That number is 40 pounds higher than it ought to be (according to Self magazine).

Time for a change

Before

Once upon a time, I thought it would be fun to dye my hair red. A few minutes after I put the dye on my hair, I changed my mind. I rinsed it out as quickly as I could, but my hair still had a very faint pink tint for

Our Thanksgiving menu

Thankful

A sweet, funny little girl — who makes me laugh all day long.
A cuddly little boy — who only woke up three times last night.
An unimaginably helpful and supportive husband — who just washed the dishes and unloaded the dryer and got up with the cuddly boy for one feeding last night
