Strange-but-true Tuesday
Dog IVs…they exist.
Wells laughs and claps his hands like crazy when I roll out my IT bands. He also LOVES it when I do lunges. World’s tiniest personal trainer?
iPads for everyone in high school? Times have certainly changed since I was a teenager.
After 15 months of breastfeeding Wells (astounded that I made it this far), I have begun the weaning process. It began about a week...

A Tale of Two Walks
At 7:45am I set out into the morning light with a black raincoat on and a polka dot bag thrown over my shoulder, having just finished breakfast with Fitz (I will never, ever tire of blueberry pancakes).

The Office
