10 New-Mom Tips You Should Follow but Probably Won’t
Pregnancy and life with a newborn, is an intense ride for the first-time parent. Some first-timers adjust with relative ease, while others struggle to acclimate. If you’ve been blessed with a large family or your network of friends have kids, then it’s likely you’ll be one of the lucky one’s who manage the transitions with grace and ease. For others, like myself, we have to rely on self-education through books, conflicting advice and common sense. During my … Read entire article »

PANAMA CITY, FL New Year’s Eve
This year, Panama City is THE place to spend New Year’s Ok, not really. It’s rolling out the same shin-digs from previous years of yore. Panama City Beach doesn’t have much for locals during the best of times, so really, ask yourself why New Year’s Eve should vary from that norm. That’s not to take away from those hosting events, by any means. Pier Park offers the widely popular “Pier Park Ball Drop” too much success, while numerous bars, clubs and restaurants offer up smaller soiree’s. Pier Park’s schedule kicks off Saturday around 5:30pm and is billed as a Family Celebration. I say that with some hesitation, since the crowds begin to gather relatively early and if you’re anything like … Read entire article »
Parenting Surprise #892
Today, the unexplainable happened. My two-year-old asked me to leave his room during our usual Nap Battle Royale. Thinking it was some new battle tactic, I laughed and obliged. Cause hey, I’m not stupid. If a kid asks you to take beat it, take the bait and head for the hills. So I did. I kicked rocks like a pro and left his room with a flourish, fully expecting sounds of crying and door banging. Instead… silence. Gathering up my courage and armed with a first-aid kit, I checked in on him. And there, in his tiny bed…. was what could only be described as a Thanksgiving Miracle. A peaceful toddler, snoozing away with one arm … Read entire article »
Salad Days
Well, what can I say? I’ve been happier. On the surface, there’s not too much to whine about but if you dive a little deeper- there’s all sorts of turmoil rumbling below. I miss laughter and carefree jokes. I miss being able to shut things out for an hour or two and relish in being silly, or dancing in my undies or just simply being. Gotta run Pin it … Read entire article »
The P90X Challenge
Well, here I am. On the brink of another summer, filled with bikini’s, family fun days at the beach and endless heat waves. God, I can’t wait. My Husband and I both, thrive off Summer. The warmth of the sun is in our blood and the waves from the ocean, seem to calm our coagulated veins. This summer, however, I have no tragedy, no baby bump and really, nothing stopping me from WOWING- both myself, and my Hubbls. So I’m slowly preparing myself to take on the full, and complete P90X challenge. There’s a few things I have to get situated, before launching the full thing- but I’m going to track it all here. Complete with gruesome photos … Read entire article »
Calling out Forrest
You know… out of left field recently, I had a sudden urge to reach out and smack the fictional character Forrest Gump. For one single, solid reason alone.. the comment about life being like a box of chocolates. I have no idea why the saying annoyed me this time around.. I mean, geeze… it’s a common, pop culture reference now and days, easily flowing off the tongue like any 2 bit blond joke. This time, however… when the saying crept it’s way into my noggin, I actually paused a moment to reflect on it, and low and behold, some previously unaware annoyance simmered in me… leading me to shout (silently.. which is an psuedo … Read entire article »
Zombiesss….. mmmmm
Oh my god… the last 2 days, for whatever reasons, I haven’t been able to get a solid nights sleep, so I lurk in this awkward state of drowsiness and right before my body drifts off, it suddenly twitches itself back to reality… and the whole onset of drowsiness starts over again. It’s pretty beat. Plus, the kiddo makes his was into our bed, around 2am.. and from there, proceeds to train his tiny mixed martial arts skills on us. A few square kicks to the face, followed with a little fist of fury…… rounded off with a full body slam, and it’s no wonder that sleep scrams-aye (Latin Of Pirate, new language) after his … Read entire article »
Rabble Rabble Rabble
For pete’s sake….. My blogging guru and I have been back and forth trying to sort out the issues with the formatting on my page… which suddenly, feels like it’s the most important thing I’m dealing with at the moment haha… I guess that age old saying of not knowing what you have till it’s gone, is proving it’s accuracy after all. I didn’t realize, during my writing sabbatical, just how closely intertwined I had become with my little site here. Anywhoo… on to daily news. I’ve accepted a job with a local, online publication here… working as a Blogger and Marketing Assistant. I’ve got to say, I’m incredibly excited to be writing again, but a … Read entire article »
Well hello there
So it’s been awhile… and looking back at past writings, I find myself thinking… damn… I was one witty lady. Then I find myself thinking… where the hell did THAT chick go?? I feel like all my “bright and shiny” sparkle took a backseat over this last year of Heavy Doom… as I’ll henceforth dub it. Quick snapshot… We’ve relocated to the bright beaches of Panama City Beach… but being in a location where we know NO ONE.. other then The Man’s family unit… we’ve yet to truly get out and about and cause some mischief… I feel almost like a fat kid in a candy store, watching all the deliciousness this town has to offer, … Read entire article »
