Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that Santa brought everything you asked for. He sure was good to me! I feel like I got hit by a truck, then it reversed and ran over me again. Why the hell is Christmas so damn exhausting? Is it a crazy 8 month old that doesn’t stop till bed time? Maybe. Is it all the food and cookies I’ve been eating? Most likely. Is it all the alcohol I consumed? Definitely. I do love the holidays but I really just can’t wait to get back into my normal routine of sleeping because…
Put on Your Yamaka…
0It’s time for Hanukkah! This will be my 2nd year celebrating Hanukkah. Every Jewish friend I have really doesn’t celebrate this holiday. They say its the less important holiday of all of them. Uhh what? What the hell??!? Isn’t every holiday important and further more how can you not want to celebrate a holiday that lets you give/get a present every night..for 8 days!? I married a nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn, so I was excited when the holidays came around knowing that I would get 8 additional presents. Except I married the only Jewish boy that doesn’t celebrate Hanukkah….
Greatest Gifts for New Moms
0Its funny how a year and a baby changes your whole way of thinking. Every year, my family asks for everyone’s Christmas wishlist so we don’t go insane trying to find the perfect gift for everyone. Typically, mine list would consist of 5 basic things: Shoes, Clothes, Jewelry, Gift Cards and some type of electronic. This year was a tad different. Obviously clothes were still on the list, but so were other things that will help make my life easier. Like cooking appliances and a large bag so I can fit all Baby A’s stuff in on the go. Times…
Soft Serve for Baby
0I have a problem when it comes to bananas. I buy a bunch with all intentions of eating them asap. But that never seems to happen. I start off with great banana momentum but then I’m left with 2-3 spotty ones. I went through a super healthy eating phase back in my running days and remembered a soft serve concoction I saw on a blog once. Its the easiest and most delicious way to get rid of your nasty brown bananas. Since I make all the baby’s food myself, and most of my friends and family are still scratching their…
Reality Check
0So last night, well rather this morning, at 5:30 am I was up sick to my stomach. It was not pretty. I was up for almost an hour and a half when I finally went back to sleep, still tossing and turning. Before baby, if I had a night like this, first thing I would do was email my boss and tell him I’m taking a sick day. When I heard the baby crying, I immediately thought, “I need to call in today, I feel like shit, there’s no way I can go into work today”. Then reality hit me….
