Happy New Year
Kristin McKinley (Born 2 Be Mom) in Holiday Blogaholics, Uncategorized - 1 comment - posted on Dec 31st, 2012After an entire month of some nasty virus’ going around in my house, including (but not limited to) the stomach flu, bronchitis, and a double ear infection, I’m actually glad to welcome January and a new year! My kids were both on amoxacillin this Christmas, limiting the amount of festivities we were able to take part in. As a friend of mine said, “every kid needs that crappy ‘I was sick during Christmas’ story.” … I guess both of my kids have that story now. New Years Eve is going to be all about hanging out with the family. … Continue reading

Merry Christmas? Happy Holidays? Umm…I’m Not Sure How to Greet People Anymore.
Christine in Holiday Blogaholics, Just Between Us - 4 comments - posted on Dec 22nd, 2012I was raised Roman Catholic. My grandparents were devout Catholics. Religion played a large role in our family. I grew up with friends of various faiths, religions, and cultural backgrounds. In college and university, most of the people I hung out with were Jewish. Being included in Seder dinners were the highlight of my year back then! I took everything in and marveled at the traditions different from my own. To this day, my friends know that if you share a knish, latke, matzo ball soup or gefilte fish with me, I’m your best friend forever. I ended up marrying … Continue reading

Making 2013 The Best Year Yet
FamilyFoodandTravel in Holiday Blogaholics, Uncategorized - 4 comments - posted on Dec 21st, 20122012 is drawing to a close and it is pretty normal to be reflective at this time of year. Although, this year I would definitely say that I am being more reflective than usual. 2012 saw my twin boys turn two, I received a promotion and I started my blog. So many things to celebrate, yet, there is a dark, gloomy cloud that hangs over this year for me. Work has been hard, I have lost some people close to me and the news, especially in the last few weeks has been tragic. So, I’ve decided that with the close … Continue reading
How Pinterest Can Improve your Sex Life
MishLockwood in Crafty Blogaholic, Just Between Us - 4 comments - posted on Dec 20th, 2012Based on my last blog entry, What He REALLY Wants for Christmas, it’s not really a big secret what Santa will be giving my husband (well, technically “Santa” won’t be giving it to him…cough cough….). And judging from the smile on my husband’s face the past few days, I suspect he too read my last blog entry. However, there was still the issue of having something actually wrapped up and placed under the tree for him. Personally, I kind of LIKE the idea of a slightly naughty husband, but I wouldn’t want my children to think that Santa felt that his behavior … Continue reading
Difference between a first and second pregnancy
mayahood in Just Between Us - 2 comments - posted on Dec 20th, 2012As my second pregnancy comes to an end, I had some time (read: sleepless nights) to reflect back about my current pregnancy and my first one. I realized that there’s a lot of differences actually. Here’s some of the major ones that came to mind for me: 1.During my 1st pregnancy, my husband came along with me to ALL of my Doctor appointments. For this pregnancy the count is 0. 2.1st pregnancy: I stayed away from everything that’s bad for you (i.e. raw meat and fish, caffeine, alcohol, etc…). 2nd pregnancy: ate some raw fish at a wedding and didn’t … Continue reading
