I swear that we seem to pick up something every time Xander has his check-up with the doctor! Now we’ve spent the last two days feeling completely lousy. Not a great time for me to get sick, because I have a ton of product reviews to get ready for you...

This post is long overdue… not because I took it a long time ago and forgot to post, but because it is something we have needed for about six years and we finally got it. New furniture! A local company that has been around for many, many years is going out of...

The leaves were falling off the trees so much today that it looked like it was snowing leaves. Despite the breeze, it wasn’t terribly cold out, so Xander and I ventured out to play for a bit. He decided to bike down the little ditch in our yard while I panicked...

We ended up taking Xander into the emergency room last night. He was warm to the touch, despite a normal reading on the thermometer. He was sleeping and we couldn’t wake him up. His heart felt like it was beating out of his chest. They ran a half dozen tests...

We’ve been on vacation! It was definitely interesting trying to maintain this blog while I was away. My phone service was really sketchy and I found I had far less time to turn on the computer than I expected… not so much “leisure” time. We...
