While I’m reluctant to urge Stella to grow up faster than she already is, there will be things about infancy and toddlerism (yeah, I made that word up) that I won’t miss.  The issues that come along with diapers are … Continue reading →

It’s been a while.  The past couple of weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind, dominated by the stomach virus from hell (already detailed in a previous post) and vacation.  I should probably put vacation in quotes.  Here’s why: … Continue reading →

Mama Was a Rolling Stone

Posted on May 7, 2012 by larva225
