I will still look at this little guy in complete awe. This guy is truly a miracle. We are so lucky and so grateful that he not only made it through chemo healthy but that he is just beautiful. And he’s such a happy baby boy too. His smile lights up his whole face which…

Gaining Confidence
I am approaching six weeks since my mastectomy was done and continue to feel better each day. Initially it was hard to be patient and be so limited. The progress since then has been pretty amazing and I feel close to my old self. I’m reaching the point where I almost feel back to normal…
Rescue Me
One of my all-time favorite shows is ER. The actors and the storyline make it such a great drama. I’ll admit it’s much harder to watch some of the storylines after having children and cancer but I found myself watching an episode the other day on Pop network.

Usually it’s the normal summer boob sweat…
Chemo Hair, Don’t Care

I am so in awe of the talent of many of these athletes including Jamaica’s star sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Something that stands out besides her speed is her hair. She’s had a different color…
The Day We Met Chase Utley (and Ryan Howard)
In case you couldn’t tell from the name of our first child, Chase Utley was our favorite Phillies player. The second baseman always hustled and fit the hard working blue collar player Philly sports fans love. Utley wasn’t cocky or loud, just a quiet, consistent player who helped the Phillies win the World Series in…
