Mamas…Get Your Glow On!
Published on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 by caryn When I was pregnant with my son, I remember all of the do's and don'ts particularly when it came to eating. When my son was born I thought...finally...I can eat and drink whatever I want. Except that I nursed my son for 13 months. While nursing gave me more freedom than pregnancy, I still felt the weight of unwritten restrictions. I can barely go a day without te... Read More » -

My So-Called Life
Published on Sunday, September 28, 2008 by caryn We've just spent the last week dealing with a sick baby and I have to admit that with cold and flu season approaching, I'm not looking forward to months of this. Last night we were in the Emergency Room with my son because his temperature went up to 104. Apparently toddlers can tolerate fevers this high but whether or not parents can, is another question. We a... Read More » -

What Not To Wear
Published on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 by caryn It's not too often that my husband dresses our little boy. It's amazing how his ability to get himself dressed every day without my help, does not transfer over to dressing another human being! Check out this pic from his birthday a couple of months ago: My son is too young to dress himself (although he tries really hard) but I wanted to share with you a... Read More » -

Snack Your Way to Weight Loss With Weight Wat...
Published on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 by caryn I first started Weight Watchers when I reached a plateau in my struggle to lose weight. I don't like the concept of "being on a diet." Weight loss is not a fad that comes and goes like the latest dieting trend...it's a lifestyle. Eat carbs, don't eat carbs...low-fat, no fat, eat fat...high protein, low protein...I can barely keep track of the latest way to lose ... Read More » -

First Moments…
Published on Sunday, September 21, 2008 by caryn The birth of a baby is the most amazing experience. I remember hearing those first cries in the operating room that Tuesday night. That sweet sound drowned out all of the other "noise." I remember looking into those deep brown eyes and falling in love instantly. I remember the very first time I held him and how I vowed to never let him go. I remember that f... Read More » -

I’m a Tech-Girl, Living in a Tech World
