OCP baby
Apparently Nathaniel has inherited at least some of Mommy and Daddy’s OCP tendencies. For example, if we ask him to put something back where he got it, he always tries very hard to make sure it’s back perfectly in place. This is very cute, as well as sometimes annoying! (Think trying to put tissues back [...]
sicknesses abound
As a general rule, I don’t get sick. And, my husband hasn’t gotten too sick in recent years either. But, apparently having a baby changes all that! With maybe a day or two exception, at least one member of my extended family has been sick for about 6 weeks or so now, [...]

Is it OCP to always load your dishwasher the same way? If someone else loads it, I always have to move the dishes around before I run it. I claim “it’s because it gets the dishes cleaner,” but maybe it’s secretly an OCP trait. I have had two people comment about it this week. Hmm, [...]

Since both my hubby and I are OCP, this has to be done perfectly! So, out comes the tape measure, yard stick, levels (yes, that’s plural), pencil, hammer, [...]
