Hello blog readers (all six of you)! I want to introduce you to my friend Cordelia. I met her in a facebook group for multicultural bloggers and it was like meeting my soulmate. Seriously, love at first type! When I decided to invite others to come and share their stories with you, I knew that […]
DON’T LOSE 10 POUNDS
Thanks to the Dutch doctor’s complete unwillingness to give me antibiotics, I recently lost 13lbs with a stomach infection. I now find myself down to a svelte weight I haven’t seen since 2001. You would think that I’d have my butt permanently parked in front of the mirror so I could admire my practically nonexistent […]
MY KID’S PURSE
I am sure that you have all seen those blog posts and articles showcasing the contents of someone’s purse. I have a news flash for people that write those – I really hate them. I don’t want to see what another mom has in her purse. Likely it is the same crap that I have […]

HEY, I’M DONE HAVING KIDS, OKAY???
My husband and I have this funny routine we like to do. I say that I am done having kids. He says that we might have one more someday. Then I say that he can have another kid with his second wife. I’m not quite sure that he has understood that I am dead serious. […]
