This Fructose Malabsorption road is SO frustrating, I had a post all ready to go talking about how we’ve been “two steps forward, two steps back” non-stop since we learned Mr. Charm’s diagnosis. But then…Sunday’s weigh-in came. He weighed 29.2 pounds!!! To give you an idea of how monumental this … Continue reading
“Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” I always thought that was Ben Franklin’s original thought, but when Googling to make sure I was remembering correctly I stumbled upon Mama Lisa, who corrected her own Ben Franklin assumption with the evidence showing this … Continue reading
Click here for my revised recipe. It’s also egg-free and gluten-free, and has printable formatting and much better photos! Thank you! Ever since Thanksgiving, I’ve been pretty much out of the kitchen. With being so sick for so long, I completely lost my drive to ‘create’ and found myself fairly … Continue reading
My babies are bald. And they have delicious gummy smiles. I drink in the smell of Mr. Happy’s little bald head. One day, in about six or seven more months, he’ll have enough hair that I won’t be able to kiss his sweet scalp. I’ll be kissing peach fuzz, instead. … Continue reading
Last year, when Mr. Charm turned 2, we noticed that he didn’t seem to talk as much as other kids his age. Thanks to all the crazy medical stuff that went on last summer, I couldn’t get in for his 2 year checkup until September – a full 2.5 months … Continue reading

Because I don’t ever – EVER – get a break.** Child care is hard enough to find without … Continue reading
Oh, blood. I never thought Motherhood would bring so much blood into my life. Yesterday Mr. Charm’s first poopy diaper of the day had visible blood in it. As I’ve stated before, that has only ever happened for him if he consumes dairy. So I called the Geek at work … Continue reading
Have you ever noticed that food is everywhere? No, seriously. It’s in commercials, TV shows, movies, magazines, books, billboards…it is everywhere, and you can’t escape it. Mr. Charm is now in the 2-3 year old group at Sunday School, instead of in the nursery. This is great! He now gets … Continue reading
When: last night Where: our KING sized bed Who: Me, the 129 pound shrinking woman, and Mr. Happy, the 19 pound cuddle bug Why: the Geek was (rarely, now) having a hard time sleeping so went to the couch so his tossing and turning wouldn’t disturb the two “sickies” in … Continue reading
Maybe nothing really does change on New Year’s Day. But it’s a good time to take a look at the changes that have occurred over the previous year. Mommy Wants Vodka, a hilarious, terribly off-color blog I read to bring some adult laughter into my days, does one meme and one … Continue reading
