Breaking The Binky Habit

January 30, 2014 by Alison 2 Comments

January 29, 2014 by Alison 1 Comment

  I guess everyone knows that the Super Bowl is coming up this weekend. I’m going to admit, I’m not a crazed football fan, and really don’t follow closely but since I live in Washington State, I pretty much have to be excited about the Seahawks making it this year. Regardless of who’s playing though, […]

  Do you know what Paleo is and why it has become such a popular diet lately? I’m going to be honest here, I feel like I may be the last one on the bandwagon, but I didn’t have a foggy clue what Paleo really was until I sat down and researched it…yesterday. I know, […]

My Husband Is My Other Child

January 17, 2014 by Alison 4 Comments

I swear I have three children sometimes. Not just the two that I gave birth too, but the one I married as well. A lot of women feel like this right? (Please tell me I’m not alone here.) I will preface this rant (because that’s exactly what it is, a bitch session) by saying that […]
