The Making of a Breaking

We kicked off summer with our second annual beach vacay. Some may say scheduling your vacation for Memorial Day weekend is like peaking early, but it’s not brutally hot yet and let’s face it, if you get appendicitis two weeks prior, you’re lucky you went anywhere at all!

Grizz Anatomy

When you’re sent home from the hospital because you think your water broke but you actually just peed yourself, it’s one thing. When you’re sent home from the hospital because you thought you had appendicitis but it was just bad gas, it’s another.

The Cyst-uation

Technician at nail salon: “When’s your baby due?”  

Me: “I already had her.  4 weeks ago.”

This is not another post about baby weight, although it does contain a weight loss story of epic proportion. With Halloween approaching, it makes sense to tell the tale of the monster cyst.  But let’s back up.

Scale Away

It’s called baby weight for a reason. Cuz you gotta wait. Forever. For it to go away. I have found the easiest way to lose inches after having a baby is to…get a haircut. Forget Weight Watchers - if you go to the hair salon, you can lose 4 inches FAST. And drink wine while you do it.

Summer Work Trip

Work trip?  Jessica, don't you stay home? Oh yes, friend, I do. But when you take your three very young kids to the beach, it is not considered vacation, (because there is no actual rest) it's considered WORK. But when you've been holed up in your house for 8 weeks with a newborn and 2 toddlers and your friend who also has a new baby tells you she booked a last minute trip to the beach, you also book a last minute trip to the beach!
