Wii Are Family
RB connected the Wii in the living room a little over a week ago. We’ve been having a blast playing ever since. We spend the most time playing Wii sports. CJ’s favorites are bowling and golf. My favorite is bowling. I think the tennis is fun but I’m pretty bad at it – just ask [...]
Eli’s Skinny Cheesecake
I have always loved cheesecake. I’ve even gone to a few extremes to have a piece of cheesecake throughout the years, but that’s a story for another time. It’s one of the few foods I never tire of and could eat on just about any given day. It never gets old either, because so many [...]

Exergen Temporal Scanner Review And Giveaway
Taking my nine year old CJ’s temperature is a pain in the butt. He doesn’t like having his temperature taken. It’s impossible to take it orally because he just can’t keep it under his tongue correctly for the right amount of time. We have an ear thermometer but he doesn’t like people messing with his [...]
Eight Week Update
I can’t believe it’s been nearly eight weeks since my Lap band surgery. I had my first fill in May. It wasn’t quite what I expected. It worked well for the first week but now I’m getting a little hungry at times (nothing requiring weight loss pills or anything). I think I need more restriction. [...]
Summer Travel Must-Haves from The MommyDocs
We go to Wildwood for a weekend every summer. We camp for a week every August. We go to Walt Disney World every couple of years, as family finances permit. We travel locally. Since CJ is not unfamiliar with sickness the first thing I do when we’re away from home is find out where the [...]
A Post Fill Note
My first Lap band fill was three days ago. After the fill the doc told me to only have liquids that day. That wasn’t a problem as I wasn’t hungry after the fill. That was the end of Lap Band hell for me, at least for this time around. Thank goodness I don’t feel like [...]
Lucky 13 And My First Fill
I saw Dr Hottie the surgeon today. I had my six week follow up appointment and first Lap band fill. The first thing they did was weight me. Now I’ve been a bit hungry and eating for over a week. Not hungry and eating like before surgery, a lot less than that but more than [...]

I haven’t mentioned it previously but until [...]
