Baby (room) on the brain

B and our friends have been having babies around the same time left and right. Which is really nice once we have our own…many ready made playmates. But with so many babies around, talk turns to…well, baby things. Right now, a few of us were talking about the ideal baby room. So for this post, [...]

Evolution of a blog…Evolution of a parent

When I first started this blog…or rather the first versions on other blog services…I was doing it more as a ‘diary’ and a place to keep all of my internet ‘finds’ and fav sites.

Don’t Mess with Texas…old ladies, that is.

Our Babymoon to Las Vegas

So I’m finally sitting down to write about our last trip before Noodles arrives. I’ve never been to Las Vegas. It’s been on my list of places to visit. B’s been there several years ago back…pretty much before all of the ‘mega’ hotels started to sprout.
Since this was our last ‘hurrah’, we wanted [...]

No such thing as a ‘free lunch’?

I somehow got sent a free subscription to Woman’s Day. One article in the most recent issue was about ‘free websites’.
As a way for me to keep things in one spot, I am listing them here:

language lessons
wififreespot.com (finding wifis all over)
RememberTheMilk (time management organizer)
Protonic.com (computer help)
business classes (30″ online classes for a multitude of things…gov [...]

A new way to vacation

When I was younger and traveling across Europe, I joined an international group that allowed for visits with local families for a few days so you could see what life was like there. I was able to ‘hang out’ with the locals in Wales with a female doctor. She lived in a stone house overlooking [...]
