Just wondering, are you a SAHM? When do you find the time for projects and blogging?

Dearest Carole S.,

Thx so much for your email—I get this question quite a bit. No, I’m not a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom). I was at home for a stint when my girls were still babies. They are just 16 months apart in age, so for a coupla years, it seemed I was always pregnant, breastfeeding and/or changing diapers. I get tired just thinking about it. Although I cherished the time to bond and focus solely on being a new mom, I was often overwhelmed, exhausted and frankly depressed despite receiving lots of help from my mom and mother-in-law.

Dear Lola: Whatchadoin?

Dear Lola, what have you and The Mister been up to while the Baby Kittens are away for the summer? My boys stay with their Nana every summer, and that in itself is a vacation.

Dearest Tee,

Thanks (to you and a couple of others) so much for asking! I miss the Baby Kittens some kind of bad, but I’m trying to make the most of this new found extra time. I’ve been meaning to get back to running in the morning, but haven’t been able to make that happen just yet (sigh). But The Mister and I have been enjoying quality time together. That’s us above having a brewski at the Chattahoochee River. Ahhh, good times…

In case you were wondering, a 2006 report published in a journal of the American Heart Association showed that moderate drinking may be associated with better cognitive function in women. See, that’s why I’m such a smart @$$.

Cheers!
