For those of you fighting PANDAS or just fighting to keep your child’s life normal in the face of PANDAS, I think it’s fair to admit that this may have been one of our worst years for symptoms since Spencer was diagnosed! Nevertheless, we had a lot of fun and I wanted to take this […]

Follow your bliss!
I was lucky enough to receive yet another ARC from The Book Drop and couldn’t wait to share it with you! Look at that amazing turquoise cover with the cut-out! This is one of those books I would buy for the cover color alone! (I’m like that!) It’s called Professor Chandra Follows His Bliss by […]
The Book Drop
As you can tell by my post yesterday about Gwynnie Bee, when I find a brand or service that I particularly love, I’m particularly loyal and especially vocal about it! As many of you know, there are few things I love as much as reading and surprises…so The Book Drop from Bethany Beach Books has […]
Rockin’ It!
Its been a little while since I last posted and a lot of things have happened! Perhaps most surprisingly, I’ve become a model! I know, right? I’ve been a customer of Gwynnie Bee for nearly five years and have loved having the opportunity to ‘rent’ my clothes. Since I had surgery in 2011 for an […]
Hey! Where’d she go?
January 2010, Facebook: ‘My little guy came home from school today and his daily sheet said that he had been very sweet and wiped the tears of a friend who was crying. I told him, “Spencer…Mommy is so proud of you. Your teachers said that you were very nice today and wiped your friend’s tears […]

Back to Why Mama Panda – Part 5
Facebook, August 2012: ‘Funniest moment of the day: Having given him 15 minutes to swim before bedtime (our house has its own pool), we set a timer for the boy. Suddenly the back door flies open…he has decided he needs to poop and is yelling, ‘Stop the clock! Stop the clock!’ So we took our […]
The Rest of the Birth Story
This is the last installment of The Birth Story but it’s a long one. Thank you for sticking with me! So, Kylene didn’t feel any cervix and I wasn’t totally clear about what that meant (not to mention the fact that I was in hard labor and was probably not sure what anything meant!) Hubs […]
The Birth Story – Part 3
So I included the picture above for those of you who don’t REALLY want to read the details of a birth story. I thought the fact that The Dude is still covered in vernix and my ‘bits and pieces’ are nearly showing would be a good indicator of exactly how much detail we’re about to […]
Halloween is Melancholy for Mama Panda
All these photos are from the year before The Dude was diagnosed with PANDAS. He literally had 7-8 costumes and wore them every day throughout the month of October. He loved Halloween and it made me so happy because I love it too! Halloween is melancholy for me now for a couple of reasons: My first real […]
