Backyard Barber

Clippers have proven to be a wise investment for our family.  This being the 4th haircut (the 2nd do-it-ourself version), I think the boys have officially inherited the thick hair gene (esp. Brooks and Clark).  Brad did a fantastic job turning them into little men…they grow before my eyes as the hair falls off.  The …

Keepin’ It Real Rewinds 03

(To Catch up on Rewinds Click HERE.) After a few months of me being unresponsive to minimal treatment, my regular girl doc, referred me to the dreaded "Reproductive Endocrinologist".  It was all so… Overwhelming. Disappointing.

The Next Generation of Bloggers…
