3 Mommies
Don't make me count to three, young man!

Having a curious child can at once be a blessing and a curse.  When Tommy was 2 or 3, he was very much into animals of all sorts.  I would sit him in my lap in front of the computer, and he would say “Mommy, show me giraffes!” and I would type in “giraffe” into [...]

It’s a service that allows you to dial a mobile phone number and go directly to the voicemail for the line with no concern that you will have to actually speak to the individual you are calling.

Walking around La Jolla, we saw this cute little snail baby in the window of a knick knack store.  It’s too bad I don’t have a spare $1,850 lying around.

Antonio and I celebrated our anniversary on Sunday night.  We dropped the kids off with the in-laws and went to the movies to see Mamma Mia.  Not the most romantic choice of a movie, but Antonio knew I wanted to see it and he wanted to do something nice for me.  How could I resist?   [...]

Have you heard about the 93-year-old man arrested for soliciting a prostitute?

Here’s my question: If you are 93-years-old (male or female), alone and in need of some “attention”, what are your options? It’s not a sexy thought, I agree. But still, people have needs. Just because you’re old doesn’t mean…

I was almost 35-years-old when I gave birth to Charlie, one year ago. So, I had a lot of years to establish a pre-baby lifestyle. For most of my 20’s, I was attending college and working full-time. I completed a Master’s program and started my career in the Tech World in my late 20’s.

During my entire 20’s and early 30’s, I spent much of my spare time going to the movies, hanging out with friends, going to happy hour, reading books, etc. Every weekend, I would…

Every new milestone that you reach with baby is so exciting, especially if you have a child with developmental delays. When Jake was 15 months old, he was diagnosed with craniosynostosis. You’re probably thinking the same thing I was..cranio-what?! It’s a condition where the bones in his skull start to fuse to [...]
