February OpossumOur yard seems to have become the playground of opossums. These aren't small, little spindly opossums. They're the size of frickin beavers! Or a good size medium dog.Back in February, Tobi chased one up the fence and proceed to dangle a few feet in the air while hanging onto it's tail. With the help of our neighbor, we manged to catch it and get it in a cage. What followed next turned into the weirdest two hours of our lives. We waited for over an hour for Animal Control to show up, and all we got was an overtired cop in a cop car. At looking at it and determining that yes, it was indeed a opossum (duh!) and no, he couldn't put it in the back seat of the police car since the cage didn't close (we were holding it in there with some rope and a large PVC pipe), he left to go get the Animal Control truck. He shows back up thirty minutes later still in his police car, proclaims that he has just the thing, and pulls out a cinder-block from the trunk of the car. A ...

Postnatal Thermogenic for New Moms Review
I've spent the last week trying out Postnatal Thermogenic from Delta Labs. It's a postnatal weight loss supplement designed to boost your metabolism in order to help you loose any weight gained from your pregnancy. The pills contain no caffeine or stimulants, and has ingredients to help promote lactation. You take two pills a day; one in the morning and one at night. I was a little dubious about taking the pills at first. It's been over a year since I had Hannah and the majority of the weight I have now is excess fluid from the uterine infection, subsequent allergic reactions to medication, and having to take prednisone for 2 weeks. I didn't think it would do a lot of good, but I'm very surprised by the results. Almost immediately I noticed that my fingers weren't swelling up and I could actually get my wedding band on and off, which I've been having difficulty with since being on the prednisone.
