Expensive Vitamins

Thirty bucks for 100 prenatal vitamins! These are “prescription strength”, but I’m not really sure what that means. What I do know is that if Stephanie has them without food and water, they make her sick. These things are supposed to help, right?

Food Nazi

I’ve turned into the Food Nazi (a la Seinfeld). After reading a slew of manuals (both in paperback and online), I can’t believe all the things that could negatively impact our child’s development. It’s frightening. Stephanie can no longer have caffeine — she’s prone to drink about 4 diet cokes per day and that’s probably [...]

Red Hat Craziness

So, my mom is now a member of the Red Hat Society (if you don’t know what that is, give it a google). Friday, she attended a Tea Party sponsored by a neighboring Red Hat group. This is her “fancy” get-up for such an occasion! Now imagine about 30 older women looking just like this [...]
