What’s Going On??
My blogging was quiet in April. Here is what you missed: Zone diet = royal failure. Short story is that the Zone Diet requires more discipline than I can endure right now so I do not recommend anyone use Zone to start a diet, maybe to maintain a weight or explore new strategies for healthy…

How To Name A Baby (How We Did At Least)
I wrote a post earlier this year about baby names. At the time, we didn’t yet know if we were team PINK or team BLUE. Since then we have learned and confirmed that we are having a precious baby girl due in exactly two months! Of course we were tickled pink (haha) to learn that…
