Time is a funny thing. I remember when I ran through the dorm trying to get my laundry done and when I passed by the t.v. room a TON of people were in there watching some show called “Friends.” After I loaded the dryer with my acid wash jeans (oh kidding, I NEVER wore those…)…
You Capture – Your REAL Life
This week Beth challenged us to get pictures of our Real Life for You Capture. Here’s a few shots from my every day. Well, unfortunately the cookies aren’t part of my “every” day… but, that’s probably a good thing. Oh, but this sweet, sweet baby is part of it, and THAT is a absolutely FABULOUS…
My Life, It is Blessed
I think I failed to mention that when I was sick last week Tim was out of town. He had a 3 day/2 night business trip to another town in Louisiana and although I wished he’d been here, we were well taken care of by my MIL (thank God for her!!) and in retrospect I’m…
Very, Very Sick
Turns out mothers of newborns aren’t exempt from the stomach flu. It took over my body sometime in the 9 o’clock hour on Tuesday night (and you all know what that entails!) and I am just now feeling somewhat human again. My MIL has taken excellent care of me – providing ginger ale, noodle soup…
My Endorsement Post for Ceramic Floors While Raising Small Children (well except when they hit their heads on them…)
So. We were on our own come Friday afternoon when my parents drove away. Ok, done talking about that before the tears well up. Anywho. Saturday morning we had to go back to the hospital to do a blood draw on Baby K because her pediatrician was concerned about her billirubin levels (jaundice) and she…
The First Few Days…
(click to enlarge – welcome home sign made by The B Man – isn’t that the sweetest thing??) Well, we are home and things are going pretty well. Baby K is not all that into breastfeeding, unfortunately and today or tomorrow I plan to see a lactation consultant as well as try some things that…
Do They Teach “Heart-String Pulling” in School?
Yesterday morning we all over-slept a little. The B Man (who really needs some time to play in the mornings before school) only had 25 minutes to eat breakfast, get dressed and get ready to go. Not good. Little G was ALL outta sorts because I was in a huge hurry (didn’t pack lunch the…
Let’s Get Real
My life as a mother is not perfect. Quite far from it actually. As I type this my toddler is having a full on meltdown and at this point, is headed to bed over an hour early. Along with his older brother. I don’t claim to be the perfect parent and I don’t ever think…
Monday Mumblings
My parents’ visit was good. For the most part we took it pretty easy. On Thursday The B Man had a swim lesson and we all swam together after. He’s doing really well and I’m so proud of his new underwater abilities. And even Little G LOVES to swim and is so cute in his…
Remembering the Last Time I Did This
Since we recently uprooted ourselves and moved to an entirely new town, I’ve been pondering memories of the only other time I made such a BIG move in my life. It was the week I left for college. Until then I lived in the same town and went to the same schools since Kindergarten. Just…
