Tuesday

“[A] quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business."  ~A.A. Milne

I had to laugh.  
Just the other day Alex comes to me and tells me the many interesting things he has learned about Romania.  Earlier today the boys were discussing facts about Tanzania.  I am always impressed with what they hold onto with their sponge-like brains.  They both love history and can remember dates and names so much better than I ever could.  
So, why did I laugh?
Tonight, as we were discussing different people's quotes, their favorite funny quote was from Daffy Duck.
Looking at the bright side...Daffy's better than SpongeBob.
Love the quirkiness of my boys!  One just never knows what they will come up with next.

My health journey to where I am today began back in 2010. It is amazing that things do not happen accidentally, even if they seem to in the beginning. Actually, as the pieces of my story have come together, this story begins w

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here.  I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta.  The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart.  I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball.  Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very disappointing), organ music to lead you to yell &q
