John and I still bathe with our daughter, John usually has her in the shower and I in the bath. The past two days she has had a fever so I had to stay home with her today, my husband can't pick her up due to spinal surgery almost a month ago. We have lived in our home for 4 1/2 years and I know the ins and outs of our home so it surprised when the cold drip that comes from the nozzles of the shower affected me. Per usual, I was singing along with the IPod hoping my daughter would inherit the same love on... read more »
As Lorelei experiences her second holiday season, I can't wait to see what she makes of the tradition of Christmas Eve present opening (pjs for all of us), the whole opening presents thing, and the songs that come along way to early in the season. I am excited for her to experience the joy and wonder of Christmas. She will no doubt be much more interested in the wrapping paper then later with her gifts but she already loves our family tree, her tree, and her brother's tree. I ultimately hope this year sh... read more »
On the Angel Steps Facebook Page, I dedicated the whole month to rainbows in honor of our Rainbow Baby's Birthday on July 7th. I found some of my own including the ones produced by a storm in my city right before she was born. I also asked my followers to submit pictures of rainbows. At the end of a storm, there is a rainbow Where rainbows end, there is sunshine At every end there is a new beginning If it is not alright, it is not the end Begin with an end in mind read more »

Dear You (You know who you are):For 12 years I have watched you erratically come in and out of my life in flights of rage and depression. I have listened to your insensitive words about my weight, my hair, my decorative choices, my lack of southern heritage, taking your son away from you, my wedding plan choices, my lack of culinary skills, and coming to my house and "Baby Love" all day. I watched as my words and experiences, seemingly bonding moments, were thrown in my face and led to judgment. I liste... read more »
