Hi, welcome to gregandlori.com, and probably more appropriately, GregandLoriandSaraandKelly. Too wordy, no one would visit. Greg and I met on September 7th, 2002, when he called me (respectfully) a lesbian while I walked past him in a bar. To cover up for the case of mistaken identity, he proposed marriage. Forward, but genuinely sweet, so I accepted. We were married exactly 51 weeks later. 9 years, 4 cats, 2 relocations, and 2 daughters later, we are happily married and living in the Midwest; where the food is grown, if you live in a proper city and need to check your map.
Greg started this blog after Sara, our first daughter was born, in August 2005. I’ve since “stolen” his project, and as the primary author, use this blog to catalog the adventures of our girls, and the misadventures of our parenting. If only life had a few dress rehearsals…
Me? I’m a recovering career addict who never knew she’d marry, or have kids; just naively hoped, and one day woke up to my cup running over. And spilling everywhere, onto filthy floors and windows covered in fingerprints and why does my house always smell like peanut butter? So I left the job I loved to try my hand a something different: raising these two crazy girls and supporting my husband in his evolving career addiction.
Thank you for visiting our site and sharing in our memories. We cherish the technology that allows us to walk together and shed light on each others’ journeys. “God has been so very good to us”…….
P.S. while our families and friends are wonderful at leaving comments (and we love you all!), this site is always open for anyone’s comments….share your stories, your thoughts, or just say hello!
Godspeed, Lori aka “The Momma”

Hi Lori:
This should get watermelon stains out. It seems like a long process but it isn’t really that bad.
USE:
Distilled water
Enzyme based pre-wash soaking solution
Ammonia
Dishwasher detergent crystals
Clean Watermelon Stains out of Clothing
Boil some distilled water. Pour it directly onto the stain. In many cases, this will remove it entirely.
Treat the stain by soaking it in an enzyme pre-wash soaking solution, if boiling water did not remove it. Leave it for at least half an hour, but the longer it soaks, the better.
Wash the article of clothing in hot water if possible. That should remove most treatable watermelon stains.

We love you!

Lori, How in the world do you find the time to do all this? I think this is my first time looking at your website and I can’t believe how much you wrote down for today. And it all made sense!! Are you sure you do not have ADHD? It was great to see you guys in October!! I really miss the days of playing on the farm. Watching the kids play together really brought back a lot of memories. Laundry is calling and a probably a cold cup of coffee by now. Happy Thanksgiving, Cousin Lisa

Lori – my wife and I bought a glycee of “You Gotta Start Somewhere” years ago and thought it was an original. We have been looking for the original since realizing that it is not. It means so much to us. Would you consider selling it?

I saw your post from 2011 about VT and OT. You said in the post if we had any questions to shoot you an email. We have an upcoming appt with Kim Anthony and I wanted to ask you a few questions about her and your experience. Would you please email me back? Thanks, Rosalie
