Empty Nest
May 18th, 2012Last week, one of my sisters brought to my attention that we had a nest in the hanging pothos plant on the front porch. I instantly wondered if I had unknowingly doused them, when watering the plant in the previous weeks. Yesterday, I checked on the two baby birds and saw by their coloring they were song sparrows. This morning, much to my surprise, they were gone, probably urged by their parents to take better cover in the trees. That does...Read More » Tags

Nanny Diares: The Sweetest Things
May 18th, 2012Baby boy laughed for the first time last week. Not only was it the sweetest sound I’ve ever heard, it got me through the day…apparently he learned to scream/squeal over the five days I was absent from his life (because we all know I would’ve squashed that from the start). I know what you are thinking, baby squeals are adorable, it’s so sweet. Except it isn’t, it’s worse than the screaming banshee cry and about...Read More » Tags
