I told myself that since I’m not keeping a baby book and my journal has turned into hastily scribbled prayers, I would keep this space up-to-date with the happenings of the Tabolt Home and our Baby’s world. I forget everything so I should write it all down to remember. No, really. You think I’m joking.… Continue reading untitled
We celebrated our 2nd anniversary and continued with our tradition of staying home and making dinner ourselves (doing something two years in a row does create a tradition, right?). It may seem a bit on the boring side, but our cozy town is situated 45-60 minutes away from any restaurant we enjoy and sometimes it’s… Continue reading Since last time…
Mornings are quiet around here. And really, the only consistently same part of any given day. Baby usually naps for quite some time and I usually spend the hour and a half to two hours staring at a computer screen and getting a bit of work done. I’m taking a break real quick to post… Continue reading on being busy
My little one is beside me, and since whatever I’m doing is the thing of most interest to him, I’m having a difficult time typing too much while fending off little fingers that are after the keyboard. This is my life from when I wake to when I sleep, and accompanied by many nightly feedings… Continue reading favorites
This is it. This is the only chance I’ll have to live today. There are no do-overs. I can’t make adjustments after the fact so I like the outcome better. There’s no rewinding and there’s certainly no pausing. I only have one opportunity to live these minutes that will make up this day. (Sometimes very… Continue reading this day
Life has been slow these last couple of days. And I have been okay with the pace. I’ve just barely been able to maintain things here at The Big Green Home, but really, that hasn’t been the usual struggle it normally would be for my anxious-to-get-much-done heart. Baby’s been sick. For the last two days.… Continue reading Nothing Really
It’s dark outside. As in, feels like it’s 6:45am at 8am dark. It just finished massive thundering and lightning and pouring. I’m in my pajamas still drinking my coffee and toast with jam. Well, I’m not drinking the toast with jam bit, but you’re smart enough to ignore the poor writing skills and figure out… Continue reading our night
It’s all cold up this piece and I have an afghan wrapped around my legs. The world is talking about pumpkins, soup, candles, pumpkin spice lattes, mums, and apple pies, and I’m all like, “Wait, didn’t summer just arrive?” They always say that time simply starts to go by faster with each passing year, but… Continue reading just an update of sorts
Sometimes life is just plain awful. Or agonizing. Or miserable. Or exhausting. Or all of the above. At least, that’s what I’m assuming my 8 month old was feeling this morning. After hours of miserable awakeness, he finally took a short nap. Not a long one. But it was sleep. And sometimes sleep is the… Continue reading wonderful sleep
Honestly, it’s hardest to know how to begin putting words down after such a long, unplanned hiatus. I guess one month isn’t really that long, but when I look at the previous post — well, it almost feels as though I’ve lived an eternity since then. So here goes nothin’ (whatever that actually means)… I’m… Continue reading hi there. i’m back. for today at least.
