Hello everyone! It’s been awhile, no? I’d love to say that I’ve been absent for some super fantastic reason but the honest reason is that I’ve been overwhelmed. Oh so overwhelmed. We have spent the better part of the last year remodeling our house. Planning began this time last year. We moved out in January […]
Saturday I ran The Woodlands Marathon. Let me start off by saying, I didn’t intend to run two marathons in two months. When I qualified for Houston back in December 2014 I knew I was going to run it- I’d been wanting to run for years and always said that I wasn’t going to run

It’s been a little over seven months since Alvy got his hearing aids and I wanted to give everyone a quick update on how things are going. When he first got them at 6 months old he was pretty good at keeping them in his ears, when the audiologist first put them in and turned them on

Though life with two small children is both physically and emotionally exhausting I think I’m adjusting well. The only remaining evidence of my pregnancy (other than the baby) is my baby weight. More specifically, 20 pounds. To hold myself

In my past life as a working woman, back before I was a mom, I worked for the March of Dimes. One of the things the Dime was working on during my time there was increasing the number of state mandated newborn screening tests. I didn’t think much about it. I was happy to help

I apologize for the length of this post. I’ve got a lot to say and who knows when I’ll have the chance to post again so prepare yourself for a little bit of verbal diarrhea. On Wednesday, May 29, at 1:16 pm our son Alvy Olen Buck was born! He weighed in at a
Two years ago today my life changed forever. I became a mom. The mom of Evelyn. What a wonderful day that was. It was a traumatic day. After a long induction and a non-planned, almost-but-not-quite-emergency, c-section I was an exhausted mess by the time Little E finally made her appearance at 6:41 pm. That first year was
