Third trimester, here we come. 12 weeks to go!


Third trimester, here we come. 12 weeks to go!

Back from a quick vacation in Santa Cruz over the long holiday weekend. Nice to get away whenever we can before the baby boy comes along. 🙂 Fresh air, food, and relaxation – and we’ll pretend that I didn’t do any schoolwork at the same time.
boardwalk shutdown during the holiday
Ristorante Avanti – yum.
lots of art shops in SC
Also finally got a chance to take some pictures of mom-to-be! But I’ll leave that as a tease for my next post…
Happy Veteran’s Day, folks. A special thanks to those who sacrificed to stand in our stead in both peace and conflict! Prayers for those who are still serving now…



It took a while this year, but the cold has finally arrived in the bay area. Woke up to a brisk 38ºF according to the tv weatherman. As much as I enjoy the holiday season, I can’t help but walk around thinking of warmer times and places…
As the post title says, I’m here – I’m alive. Just now coming up to breathe after diving deep into the abyss the past couple of months. Why? School, life, some work-related changes…but regardless, I’m back! And I promise you’ll be hearing much more from me. On a positive note, I was surprised to hear from several of you that you *gasp* missed me. You really, really missed me!!! 😉
where have I been?
Seriously, though, it’s awful flattering that some of you have been loyally following me and noticed my departure over the last couple of months. Glad you’ve enjoyed hearing and seeing from me – so I’m committed to bringing you more in response. Let’s stay together! (Al Green anyone? Ok, I promise to stop now.)
Annnnnnd to kick things off, I’m announcing today a nice little holiday treat for those of you proactive enough to grab it! I won’t spill all the details here on the blog, but how about a few key words: FREE PRODUCTS. Ok, so maybe that was just two words. Anyway, here’s what you need to do to get in on this:
More to come folks!
p.s. being local is preferable for this, but not 100% mandatory 🙂
p.p.s. limited quantities. act fast! offer void where prohibited. so on and so forth.
