Library Day for Mom
This afternoon I had two sleeping boys and I read for about thirty minutes straight. It was so nice and a very rare treat for me. And I have the library website to thank for it. Thursday is usually library day for us. We go so Fuller can participate...
My Babywearing Journey
Stephanie over at Adventures in Babywearing asked for readers to show off their babywearing stash. Babywearing isn’t something I really have written about, but it is now a part of my life. Since I wanted to show off my stash, I thought I would ...
Meet up in real life
A few weeks ago I was reading another homeschool blogger’s recount of visiting her area homeschool bookfair. What she was most excited about wasn’t drooling over the books and discovering new ways to teach her children, but meeting other ...
Crazy
It’s been a fun filled last few days with lots of offline interaction. Tomorrow is going to be like the last three days packed into one, but I’m looking forward to it. And hopefully I can rest on Sunday....
Three months ago
Three months ago, around 4:30 in the morning it was raining. I know because Damon and I were trying not to get my pillow wet when we loaded into the car. Three months ago, a little before 5 a.m. I met a woman who handed me a bunch of papers to sign,...
Coffee on my mind
We went camping on Friday and prior to the trip, I had only one real worry: how would I get my morning coffee on Saturday morning. I could have worried about how Tebow would behave, the weather, or if Fuller would fall into a poison ivy patch. Instea...
Dizzy
Sometimes Motherhood feels a little like this: While trying to maintain the cycle of an attempted routine, you are also dealing with the ups and downs of life. And most of the time, it’s fun! Mother’s Day was sweet. After church we were ...
Best things in life are free
Yesterday was Free Cone Day at Ben and Jerry’s. Our family made sure to be there for our free ice cream. We went last year and it will probably become a family tradition. When I was taking the kids downtown (with visions of ice cream in my head...
Ten, tien, dix, zehn, dieci, dez
No matter how you say it, ten is the number of years Damon and I have been married. April 10, 1999 was a beautiful day, full of joy and happiness for us both. The last ten years have been a roller coaster of events, emotions, and dreams. And I know t...
Wedding Weekend Away!
A few weeks ago I took a trip to visit my sister, Austina. She is getting married this weekend and I was present at one of her showers. It was a treat to hang out with her for a while and have a small break away from the mom with two kids lifestyle. ...
Adjustments and acknowledgements
Damon took this picture of me yesterday and it is the first picture of me where I feel like I look like myself again. As a result, I feel like things are normalizing and evening out in a good way. Sure, I still feel sleep deprived (falling asleep in ...
More like myself
After a decent night with almost the right amount of sleep, I did a spontaneous thing and took the boys to the Creative Discovery Museum. It was a delightful trip, where Fuller enjoyed himself, we enjoyed each other, and Tebow behaved beautifully. W...

Outside
Today I stayed in my PJs until one-ish. Then I took my shower and changed into clean PJs. Around 5 I decided Fuller had to get some outside time, so I put on real clothes, put Tebow in the Baby Bjorn, and headed to the park. I felt kind of like a su...
Meal time
One of the awesome things about having a baby is getting people to cook for you. When my mom was here she and Daddy stocked our fridge and freezer, making us some freezer meals and leaving us with ingredients to make more. And today our church start...
My lap
I had some plans for today, mainly of the housekeeping variety, but they were pushed to the side by a UTI. It was unexpected and it is painful, so I mainly sat around and rested. I caught up on Lost during Fuller’s quiet time and instead of put...
Blogging Tapas :: Postpartum Edition
~I’m a bit sleep deprived. While my mom was here she was talking to me and suddenly I was waking up. The other night, I fell asleep at my laptop. In the middle of a blog post. ~A week ago I gave birth to my second son. I have phantom feelings ...
Waiting on finding new normal
We have had many visitors, a dinner out, church (with baptism), and a brunch in the past two days. This is not normal and makes me realize, we will have to wait to find our new normal. My parents leave on Tuesday, so I will be soaking up their love ...
