Potty talk
Yes, it’s the obligatory potty training post. Something every parent can relate to because we all have to go through it! I’m sure there are many stories out there – here is ours so far. So our second daughter, Hannah, is 4 ½ years old. And at the rate at which she’s been potty training, […]
Families
I was thinking today about families. My mom is coming to visit this weekend as she does every month or two and I look forward to her arrival for many reasons. My kids absolutely love the time that Grandma has to dedicate specifically to them, which then gives me a bit of a break. I […]
Fifth Disease and the not so littlest pet shop
I think I know what caused the rash! It seems to be the same thing that caused Ron’s body aches last week. Someone here at work thought my rash looks like Fifth Disease, which is uncommon in adults, but not unheard of. My symptoms seem to be classic of this disease – feeling ill with […]
Pink splotches
Hmmm, I woke up this morning covered in pink splotches. They don’t itch, they don’t seem to be spreading, they just… are. It’s very interesting actually – I’ve spent way more time inspecting them today at work than I probably should be. And they’re everywhere – arms, legs, stomach, back. If I weren’t so freckled […]
Bring Back Geography!

But when skimming through an industry periodical today, I ran across the following article, entitled “Bring Back Geography”, written by Jerome E. Dobson in the Spring 2007 issue of ArcNews. […]
Mom’s weekend – relaxing? Maybe…
So my friend Mary had invited me a while back to a ‘moms-only’ weekend at her house the first weekend of June. Her hubby had agreed to take their kids camping for the weekend, leaving her home alone. I jumped at the chance and informed Ron that he would be responsible for our kids that […]
Just for a simple pair of pajamas…
So after years of wearing maternity and nursing nightwear, I came to realize recently that I have absolutely no summer pajamas anymore. Ok, well none that fit anyway. That’s a whole separate issue! So when my friend Mary and I were planning our big ‘moms only’ weekend get together last weekend, I said that the […]
A little more background is probably in order…
So here I am at post #4 on this blog already and I haven’t really explained much about me or who I am. So here goes… Who am I? Well, I guess the short answer is a mom, a wife, a GIS Analyst, a sister, daughter and friend. I’m not going to give my life […]
Pets
Ok, well so a little bit of pet history here. I always had pets growing up, dogs, cats, even gerbils for a few years and one goldfish – well, the fish was my brother’s. Oh yes, and I had a pet mouse for a while too. My hubby, Ron, also grew up with pets in […]
