Life

These past weeks have been full of a lot of life. I haven’t been doing so much, just living.

:: We’ve spent days on the couch recovering from sickness — cuddling, snuggling, and sleeping as much as possible.

:: We’ve spent many days outside — feeling the grass under our feet, sun on our [...]

I’m Still Here! I Promise!

Just a bit behind in the blogging world. To be honest, I’m a bit behind in the real world too. I came down with Parker’s flu over the weekend and have been playing catch-up ever since then. Trust me, you don’t want me to be blogging about the details of what’s going on around here! [...]

. . . and life

Ideals. Goals. Lists. Plans. This is where I want to be. What I daydream about getting done. What I expect from myself . . . and then life happens. So often it gets in the way of my dream life.

In my ideal world I:

It’s Been A Long . . .

I thought breastfed babies were supposed to be super healthy! My goodness. He seems to physically be on the mend [...]

The Glorious Mundane

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the “mundaneness” (is that a word?) of motherhood. While my life was certainly routine before becoming a mom, it was nothing compared to my days with a baby on my hip.

You know the drill: wake up to baby crying, nurse baby, change baby’s diaper [...]

Blog Life vs. Real Life

It’s been one of those weeks. And it’s only Tuesday.

Oh my.

It’s been one of those weeks where my crafty, cooking, do-everything-from-scratch  self meets the my baby-isn’t sleeping, I’m exhausted, let’s get take-out one more time self. Which has left my blog posts half-written in the draft pile. Sigh.

Do you think it would [...]

Live, Learn, and (eventually) Laugh

My life before being married was fairly predictable. In fact, my morning routine might have been scheduled down to the minute with how truly routine it was. Get up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, do my hair, brush teeth, and out the door. Then my days at work were all pretty much the [...]
