Very cute! Shauna is in the process of doing a blog makeover for me and I can't wait to see it!

Good idea!

Yuck!

I almost ordered from Zappo's but wasn't sure about the measurements. I'll have to try them sometime. 

Yeah, they really don't do that. They can't take anything behind the counter that you have already eaten/drank out of and then give it back to you again. I worked there in college.

Love your blog! 

Sounds cool, I'll have to go check it out!

And lots of cool contests... one of which I won

I had panic or anxiety attacks with postpartum depression. I remember thinking I couldn't breathe, or and getting hysterical until I hyperventilated. Not fun 

Um, this might sound dumb...

But whatintheheck is bunco

Maybe we're just backward in Australia, or maybe it's just me...

It's a dice game. Basically you roll dice to try to get more than one of th same number. You can move to a better or worse table depending on how well you do during each round. Not lots of brain required so it's easy to talk and hang out while playing.

I won! I won! 

Two of my husbands cousins were adopted from korea, back in the late 1970s/early 80s... just sayin.

Thank you ladies for your honesty sharing these stories. I hope they really can help someone seek help. And you should not ever be afraid to start meds because of what someone else says. It's your life, and you need to feel good about yourself and enjoy things. There is a difference between overmedicating and looking for "happy pills" versus really taking something that can help your body deal with chemical imbalances and hormones and such.

hi tara! that was very brave of you to write about it. i am glad that you are now doing better. sendings hugs to you...

Thanks... I think a lot of people think that they can either "snap out of it" or do something to prevent it... such a misconception because trust me, I tried to be happy and really wanted to bond with my baby. Next time I am going to start the meds right at birth so that I can enjoy the newborn stage second time around. I really don't know what it's like to have a newborn, to be honest

Oh and i use the reusable bags at the grocery store now. I love them!
