I’m back! It’s been a while, but I’ve been busy for a while. I’ve been sick, Olivia’s been sick, Sonia’s been sick so not much spare time at home. More to come about this tomorrow.

It’s Friday morning and we’re still at the hospital. OG has now gone about 30hrs without a fever. Her battle with strep pneumonia has turned the tide. We’re hoping to get the clearance to head out. We had a heartbreaking moment last night when her IV needed to be redone. There was nothing, NOTHING more… Read More »

Hi from San Francisco!  I used to think that this was one of the coolest things to say: ‘Hi Mom, I’m in SF and the party is grooving and everyone’s losing control!’ Well, as much as I love Peter Sellers, he pales in comparison to my family. And as much as I love this state… Read More »
This past weekend, due to consistent routine we’re building with Olivia, I’ve noticed that Treehouse and Family stations also follow a routine. This is obviously intentional. Nonetheless, I am already sick of the following shows: Blues Clues Big Comfy Couch Dora That stupid red-headed kid (No not you Chris): “Daniel Cook” So, out of sheer… Read More »
