{Warning: This blog post contains a lot of talk about babies, dirty diapers and swooning. Just be prepared.} My niece is just the cutest 15-month-old you can ever imagine. You probably think I am biased (and maybe you’re right, whatevs!), but Greta could steal anyone’s heart in a heartbeat. I...

Work it out weekends: revived

April 5, 2010

So yeah, obviously I fell off the getting-fit-bandwagon for a few weeks, what with my Granddad’s passing, my unexpected trip to Germany, the work crazy after I returned. I don’t know, I guess I am just great at finding excuses. But this seriously has to stop. I have to find...

On being a twin

March 29, 2010

Retail therapy
