Like many of the other bloggers who recently spent time talking about the inner workings of “down there” and braiding the freakishly straw-like hair of freakishly disembodied heads, I’m kind of at a loss for words when it comes to succinctly summing up the entire Camp Baby experience.
As nervous as I was about going to […]

First, let me say that I have been so incredibly blown away by the supportive comments and emails I’ve received since posting about my goal of getting off Zoloft.
And I have also been so truly inspired by the stories of those of you who have had similar experiences with anxiety and/or depression. It’s just […]

I have been on medication for anxiety and depression for twelve years.
Wow. Twelve years… that is almost half of my life.
I was first prescribed Zoloft just after I turned 15 years old, my sophomore year of high school, soon after I had my very first all-out panic attack.

On Sept. 18th I took Alexander to his pediatrician for his 2 year-old annual appointment.
I knew Alexander had a heart murmur. They had told me when […]

Someone in Gum Wrapper Land has it out for me, for sure.
As if facing my gum wrapper fear head-on wasn’t bad enough, now that I’ve blogged about it I can’t escape it.
I was innocently browsing the Internet search terms that bring people to our blog.
And that’s when I saw it:
Is it safe to eat the […]

I think just about everyone can think of something that totally grosses them out, right?
You know, that one thing that totally makes you get your gag reflex on.
For Audrey it’s dirty coins (particularly pennies). For a friend of mine from college it’s gymnastics chalk. For one of my sisters-in-law it’s ketchup. For a childhood friend […]

Thank you to everyone for your concern! It turned out to be a false alarm, as expected… but unfortunately, in this day and age, you just can’t be too careful. Nevertheless, Steve is home safe and sound!
My husband just called me from work.
“Hi honey. If you don’t hear from me again, I love […]
