My Minor Freak-Out Over Pregnancy Tests

As stated numerous times in my main blog, our first 2 months of TTC (trying to conceive) after my miscarriage were unsuccessful. It was only by using online resources such as Fertility Friend and the wonderful community at BabyCenter that I was able to become more in-tune with my body and become informed on practically […]

A Beauty of a Cam

The Pentax Optio I-10 was announced today. The specs are nothing special but HELLO GORGEOUS! Isn’t the body design to die for?   The official site describes the I-10 as “classic styling, slim design.” I’m always on the lookout for good, compact point-and-shoot cameras that are not Canon so this is a nice surprise. If […]

Facebook No More

A few weeks ago, I deactivated my Facebook account. The funny thing is that although I had 350+ “Friends,” I’m pretty sure that not one person noticed my absence. Not even my husband. (Thanks, hun!)

My verdict: ‘Eh.’ There were some scary […]

Putting Things in Perspective

I must really live in a bubble, because I only just found out about the Haiti earthquake. More than 100,000 died in yesterday’s 7.0 quake 10 miles from the capital of Port-au-Prince. The powerful earthquake flattened the president’s palace and the main prison, the cathedral, hospitals, schools and thousands of homes. Thousands are still trapped. […]

Traitor!

My sister came to visit today, and Comang has not left her side. He’s been ignoring me for the new two-legger the entire day…they’re taking a nap together on the couch as I type this! (I’ve blocked out my sister’s face because she values her privacy a lot more than I do. Plus, I’m quite […]
