After years of infertility, I never thought I would be blogging about birth control. Lately I have been thinking about if a more permanent birth control option is right for us as a couple. I brought this topic up to my husband and you should have seen his face. He may be a brave Marine, [...]

Ski instructors are totally underpaid!
March 31, 2008 – 11:01 am
Thanks guys for the cooking ideas! My kids and I had a blast making homemade pizza dough with grocery store salad bar toppings (expensive way to do it, but good for these lazy postpartum days). I also tried out Dream Dinners with a friend (dreamdinners.com) where I made lots of frozen meals for the months [...]
What are you all feeding your kids?
March 13, 2008 – 10:42 am
My little Lucas is now 6 weeks old and minus the no sleep it has been wonderful!! My husband is away and missing all the sleepless nights but I am managing getting all three kids in the bath and fed at least every other day, ha. I am proud of myself that things aren’t more [...]
The American Idol Saga…
February 25, 2008 – 2:53 pm
I usually love winter and skiing, but this weeks saga is that my husband is away and I can’t even get out and shovel the driveway because I just had a c-section, ugh. The baby is up all night, and the other little ones still want breakfast at the same time, ha ha.
Anyway, this week [...]
They were definitely contractions!!!!
February 11, 2008 – 10:41 am
So I convinced my hubby that the cramps were real and after a crazy time in labor (I was like 8 centimeters and ready to push) I ended up having an emergency C section (I had to be knocked out , and got a big vertical cut…not that little horizontal one like my friends!) but [...]
I think I am having contractions?
February 4, 2008 – 2:15 pm
I am having these twinges of pain, but I am not really sure if it is cramps, Braxton hicks (still don’t really know what they are), or the real deal? Every time I say “ouch” my husband instantly says, “Krista, what does that mean?” When I said I wasn’t sure he said “Well come on, [...]
A little game….
January 21, 2008 – 8:48 am
I just got one of those chain emails from a friend of mine that asked me to describe her in one word and pass it along to other friends. When I have time, I kind of like those little games.
So I played along and actually learned a lot about what my friends really think [...]
Cooking White lies…
January 14, 2008 – 4:53 pm
OK, OK I admit it, I am one of those people that buy homemade desserts and then adds homemade whip cream to make them look better and impress my guests. I actually am guilty because I have the reputation of being a “great cook” among my circle of friends, and sometimes I don’t admit when [...]
What is your theme song for 2008?
January 7, 2008 – 11:15 am
Happy 2008 everyone! Numerologists say 8 is the year for money, sounds good to me! OK, I don’t do New Years Resolutions anymore; I mean why set myself up for failure, right? But my new thing is to think of a “theme” for the year… such as “a spending diet”, “more self-care”, “having more fun”, [...]
Tips on tipping
December 26, 2007 – 11:28 am
A couple of weeks ago we went to pick out our Christmas Tree from an overpriced mom and pop Christmas Tree farm where kids are mesmerized by the outdoor electric trains, and you can roast marshmallows by the little human-made campfire, etc. Anyway, the trees are twice as expensive as Home Depot but it’s all [...]
