Just before leaving to do afternoon errands, I noticed Lucas' cheek was slightly red and irritated. It reminded me of when Brodie had an allergic reaction to, I believe, raspberry soy yogurt. But I didn't think that was happening to Lucas, so I put some hydro-cortisone ointment on,...

I was up three times night before last, once to change his diaper. Last night he made it until 4:30 a.m. and I was grateful to get the extra sleep. I hope tonight we’ll be able to make it through the night, maybe sleeping in until 7 a.m.
No, I didn’t suddenly become a mother...

Back when I was younger if you saw someone talking to themselves in a store, they were crazy. You wouldn’t check to see if they had a Bluetooth sticking out of their ear, you just swayed your cart the other way and became fascinated by the canned beans instead. Now days I just assume...

Saturday night my husband and I were taking Gregory for a walk through the neighborhood. He loves his walks and is usually a very happy camper. Well after a little while, I noticed him moving his arms around a lot. I figured he was scratching because he has Eczema. Well after a few seconds he...

The teacher next door to me is AWESOME. I consider her my mid-western coffee talk lady. She has a ton of cool stories about being 22 and dealing black jack in Tahoe. Now, at 60, she still has a ton of spunk and one never quite knows what will come out of her mouth.
She has a theory about full...

I start my Black Friday (BF) planning every year in September. Its a ritual that I started when I lived in South Bay; just out of college. Ten years later, I continue to enjoy and relish in the amazing deals. The Black Friday sites are hot with forums and ads postings with door...

Straight Moms for equal rights for all. This is the civil rights movement of our generation. Which side are you on? I'm for equality for all.

Thursday morning Brodie, Lucas, and I ran around Lake Natoma with my friend and her son. It couldn't have been a more perfect day with sun, blue skies and nice Autumn temperatures. The trees were vibrant hues of yellows, oranges, and reds as many of them have already started dropping their...

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been noticing a lot of little obligatory time suckers in my life lately and I think it’s time to prune.
Every once in a while I like to take a look at how I spend my time and energy and ask myself
a few questions...
1) What am...

Moms, before you do anything else, go to www.sacbee.com and click on the red Raley's ad (top of right corner of the home page) and print out that $20 off (when you spend $100) coupon. And here's an idea. Take that $20 coupon to to the deli counter this weekend and...

Thanksgiving is all about tradition. But sometimes it's good to mix it up. When it comes to preparing your meal, there are lots of choices. You can buy the whole dinner at the grocery store, prepare the entire meal yourself or ask friends and family to help out with a dish or two. If...
