defining the circles that make me whole
Filled, not pulledPosted by Alli on June 17, 2008
Yesterday morning I had a dentist appointment. In the saga of my deteriorating baby teeth (I had four, one was pulled, so now I have three), a hole had appeared in another baby tooth. It was just like the one I had pulled previously, so I thought I would be going in to have an [...]
The Tao of Fertility: ReviewPosted by Alli on May 15, 2008
A few weeks ago I was given a list of books from HarperCollins to pick from and review on my blog. I could have passed on the list, but I saw the title Tao of Fertility and replied, “I would love to review this book, since fertility is a subject near and dear to my [...]
New CamelBakPosted by Alli on May 5, 2008
Disclaimer: The product I am about to rave and gush over was given to me with no expectation that I blog about it. But really, how could I not? It just isn’t who I am! On Thursday, the mail man gave me a sweet present: a new CamelBak water bottle. If you recall, I once [...]
I’m allergic to OhioPosted by Alli on April 22, 2008
And parts of Kentucky. While on the road yeasterday, somewhere in the middle of Kentucky, I started sneezing and the skin around my eyes itched so badly I wanted to remove them from my face. When we got to my mom’s house, my throat started itching and feeling like it was coated in baby powder. [...]
Non-scale victoriesPosted by Alli on April 19, 2008
I went to Weight Watchers this morning and was thrilled to have lost my PMS weight. I gained 2 pounds the week before and I lost 2.4 pounds this week. It gave me a better outlook for this upcoming week. When we have our meeting, after everyone has done their weigh-in, the first thing our [...]
Joining the BPA-free partyPosted by Alli on April 10, 2008
Yesterday morning I was making waffles while the Today Show family kept me company. Matt Lauer started talking about plastic bottles and how they could be harming you. I thought the segment would be about reusing the plastic bottles bottled water comes in. I had heard a while back how it was bad to keep [...]
Good TherapyPosted by Alli on March 19, 2008
I feel greatly blessed for the time I have been able to be a stay at home mom and really don’t like to think much about the time l was a working mom. It was really dark for me, and in order to stand ground until the situation could be adjusted, I was in therapy. [...]
RemedyPosted by Alli on March 13, 2008
I don’t normally deprive myself of coffee on purpose. I might not make it until I have been up for a few hours, but I’ve never gone longer than four hours after waking up without coffee. (And yes, I did drink coffee while I was pregnant and breastfeeding. I’m not going to stop drinking coffee [...]
Butter updatePosted by Alli on March 8, 2008
The other day I enjoyed such a lovely walk to the grocery store and back. 3 miles of walking. I loved it. Grace asked why I was taking pictures of butter and my friend Deb has put them to use: she has lost 68 sticks of butter! Since Deb is a visual person, and too [...]
Health Wise Wednesday: back on trackPosted by Alli on March 5, 2008
Saturday I went to my first Weight Watcher’s meeting in three weeks. I missed two weeks because of travel and one week because of flu. I was worried I would have to pay the registration fee again, but my leader just had me pay two weeks and I was good to stand on the scale. [...]
