This blog has been a few days in the making. I've been watching, like most of the world, the news coverage for the new Pope. At first, I didn't really care. I haven't cared much about the organized Church in quite a while. There's a lot of stuff that I just can't agree with anymore; gay marriage,...

My son received a brand new LeapPad2 for Christmas this year from that  jolly old man in red. The product itself is cute. It's age appropriate for a five year old, great learning tools hidden as fun games, and a nifty camera/recorder that may lack pixels, but is just fine for kids. No major...

So, PoPo and I are very big veggie eaters. Raw, sauteed, roasted, grilled. You name it, we'll try it. Tonight, I decided to use what I had on hand, so here goes.   Ingredients:   1 medium sized zucchini, sliced 1 medium sized yellow squash, sliced 1 medium sized onion, chopped 3 cloves...

Surgery is over. Time to get on track and eat the way I'm supposed to. Here is my super simple go-to salad. I tend to mix it up a lot, but stick to the staples. Here yard go:   Ingredients:   Salad greens (I use Trader Joe's Spring Mix) Mini pearl tomatoes  Chopped Cucumber 1 chopped...

I love french fries, pizza, chips, and just junk in general. But that is now a thing of the past. Since having my surgery, I've begun to realize that  junk food is not an option anymore. When I think about the physical discomfort that I get now, I have no problem passing on them. No more pain....

I didn't need to watch the Presidential Debate tonight on television. I live it every day with my kids.    Medical Care: Kid's Platform: I need a popsicle and half a box of band-aids for that teeny tiny scratch on my knee from three months ago. Screaming and tears will be...

I've seen so many news reports, and articles based on "parenting philosophies" lately that my head is spinning. Did you know that people let their kids live diaper-free and crap all over the house? It's supposed to form a close bond between the parent and child, while instilling in them a sense of...

When you are married to a LEO, you just have to realize that their job essentially comes first. I was lucky enough to begin my relationship with PoPo AFTER he became a police officer. I went into my current lifestyle with eyes wide open. For those ladies that have a 9-5 husband who all of a sudden...

I am so sick and tired of these news stories or articles about what we are all doing wrong as parents. It's as if every decision you make as a Mom or Dad is going to severely ruin your child. Don't feed them egg yolks, they'll end up with high cholesterol. Don't feed them sugar or red dyes, they'll...

So, seeing how I spend all my time watching children's television I have realized a few things that bother. "Just a few," you say? Ok, a hell of a lot, but here's my top ten.   1. Dora's parent's are some crazy ass parents. They can't put their daughter in clothes that fit properly, (seeing as...
