Love This Planet

July 29, 2008

It’s that time of year again, when the Bloggy Giveaways are flying fast and furious. I can’t resist taking part and joining in the fun. And with the launch of my baby, 5 Minutes for Going Green, I figured how better to celebrate than to giveaway some of my favorite reusable bags?

July 27, 2008

If you are a new reader, and don’t follow me on Twitter, you may not know that I’m not always gloom and doom. I think my lighter side comes out more effortlessly in tiny bursts, which is one reason I love Tweeting. I decided to keep track of my favorite tweets for posterity, and of [...]

Weathering The Storm

July 25, 2008

This morning I woke up with a start. My heart racing, I immediately tried to get BACK to sleep to finish the dream I had been having. To try to give it a happy ending. I got halfway there, giving myself a little relief, but then got out of bed to calm down, to stop [...]

Not So Welcome Home

July 24, 2008

On Sunday when I finally arrived home in the wee hours of the night, I couldn’t wait to sit on my couch and breathe. My husband was up waiting for me, and as fun and productive as Blogher ‘08 was, I missed my family something fierce. I know most everyone missed their kids, and missing [...]

Even My Eyelashes Are Tired

July 21, 2008

I made it home in one piece, back from the whirlwind weekend at Blogher, exhausted, achy and missing my boys something mad. I can’t find adequate words to convey my exhaustion, but I also can’t find words to convey my utter joy at how great this trip was. My partner in crime was good about [...]

Watching The Sun

July 16, 2008

I will be watching the sun rise tomorrow from the window of a chartered bus, on my way to O’Hare airport to fly to San Francisco. What adventure lies ahead, only God knows, but my travel buddy and I are ready for the challenge. We have some loose plans, but we want it to be [...]

Spin Me Right Round, Right Round

July 15, 2008

Today I’m running around like a crazy person, trying to dot my i’s and cross my t’s and cover all my bases, in preparation for traveling to Blogher ‘08. Having special needs kids mean that I don’t go out of town hardly ever, and when I do it’s as complex as NASA’s checklist for shuttle [...]

The Stay At Home Mom-Worker

July 14, 2008

Through my years of being a mom (my eldest is almost 6 now) my role has continued to evolve and change along with me. When I was in college, I had a difficult time picking a major, because all I wanted to do or be in life (as far as career ambitions go) was a [...]

Big Pimpin

July 11, 2008

Fast and furious is how I would describe my life lately. Barely letting my head hit the pillow at night, I’m working working and oh yeah, working. I’m not complaining, because I’m choosing to do all that I am doing. I like it, I’m passionate about it, and I don’t want to be doing anything [...]
