During an annual visit to my doctor this summer, I got word that my latest round of bloodwork had continued an unfortunate trend of very high cholesterol levels. I’m not one for medicine unless necessary, and fortunately for me, my doctor likes to go that route only when there are no other options to exhaust.Continue reading “Cleaning (up) my plate”

Time to shake up the menu
So…I have high cholesterol. This isn’t an incredible shocker, as I’ve had high cholesterol most of my life. A few years ago I was told this after blood work and the doctor told me I needed to go on statins. Not being one for medication (or the side effects that go with it), I decidedContinue reading “Time to shake up the menu”
Day in the Life – a photo essay
Whether they know it or not, everyone has a story to tell. However, some folks never tell their stories because they think they have nothing to say – that their life is too boring. It’s with that in mind, that I set out to create a photo essay that took something routine and mundane –Continue reading “Day in the Life – a photo essay”
Fall into Spring
The weather has been changing lately. The temperatures rising, the grass becoming a little greener, a little longer, and the air filled with the smells of pollen and barbecues. There’s no doubt that spring is here, but in case we take it for granted, mother nature gave us a nice little reminder of why it’sContinue reading “Fall into Spring”

Ever since we’ve become parents, it has become, as expected, a lot more difficult to get together with friends and family, especially in the frequency that we used to. Before, it was fairly easy to set up a coffee meeting with our friends or go grab dinner with some family without much challenge. As I’veContinue reading “Social Fridays”
Two guys just hanging out on Valentine’s Day
I spent this Valentine’s Day with our little guy. As we’re still battling the croup (and its effects slowly making its way into mommy and daddy’s adult-sized bodies now), we’ve been alternating taking days from work so that someone can stay with the little guy at home while he’s sick and administer his nebulizer treatments.Continue reading “Two guys just hanging out on Valentine’s Day”
Bringing up Bébé
I just finished Pamela Druckerman’s book, “Bringing Up Bébé.” .She’s an American journalist who moved to France with her husband where they gave birth to a daughter and two twin boys and quickly learned about the vast differences in culture, parenthood, and child rearing in France versus in America. Druckerman covers a wide variety ofContinue reading “Bringing up Bébé”
Change to the menu
Leaps and bounds, right into the mouth. In the past week, our little guy has added solid foods to his menu. I say solid as in mushy, but heck, it’s certainly something a little more diverse than just milk, I’m sure. Eventually we would like to begin making his food on our own. It’s amazingContinue reading “Change to the menu”
