Thar She Blows, Cap’n!

Every pregnant mama has their cravings and this expecting mama is no exception.  During my first pregnancy, I craved very rare, bloody red meat.  During my second pregnancy, I guzzled gallons of ginger ale.   This time around, I can’t enough of the Cap’n.     At first, I tried to stay true to my [...]

Going for Gasparilla

Late last Saturday evening, I bit the bullet and registered for the Gasparilla Distance Classic 5K.  Since I’ve been feeling pretty good and my bladder is still holding stong, I feel capable to run a 5K.  So why not go for the Gasparilla gold?  After all that little bit of runner bling will look so [...]

Raising Runners

Since my running days are much less due to my pregnancy and my races fewer and far between, I decided to live vicariously through my girls by registering them for the Gasparilla Distance Junior Classic.   The city of Tampa hosts a month long pirate celebration in the name of Gasparilla which includes several parades, [...]

I Heart Faces: Hands-On Fun

Ladybugs always seem to be on hand where ever our travels take us.  Since ladybugs are a sign of good luck, I feel very fortunate whenever one of these little lovely hitchhikers lands on us.  They are small reminders of how blessed my life is.     *Happily submitted at  I ♥ Faces*   “This week, [...]

Musical Monday: Defying Gravity

For those who know me, you would have heard me profess my love for Wicked on numerous occasions.  It is truly my favorite musical and next Sunday, I will be seeing the show for a third time.   Forget what you remember from The Wizard of Oz, because Wicked: The Musical takes a very different [...]

Let Them Eat Cake

For Valentine’s Day, my DH and daughters wanted to bake a cake for me.  They asked what flavor I fancied and I requested a Devil’s Food cake with cream cheese icing.   As lovely as this gesture was, it was also the worst gift anyone could ever give a pregnant mama.     I’ve been [...]

This Post is More Than a Mouthful

I’ve been enjoying a new reality series on CBS: Undercover Boss.  In the premise, presidents and CEOs of large corporations change their name and their identity without their employee’s knowledge to experience a firsthand look at the inner workings of their companies.   Two episodes have aired so far: Waste Management and Hooters.  In both [...]

The Sweetness of Pancake Day

I first flipped over Pancake Day (Shrove Thuesday) as a student teacher interning in England when my housemates shared this tasty tradition with me. Although English pancakes are more flat like crêpes and topped with lemon juice and sugar, it didn’t prevent me from partaking in the feast.   When I met my Scottish hubbie, [...]
