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.
I’m on my porch while I type these few lines. Yeah, this one. Summertime weather seems to have finally arrived and I’m attempting to enjoy as much outdoor goodness as I can. I just finished tromping through dew-covered grass while watering our gardens and even managed to enjoy the wet grass clippings that plastered themselves… Continue reading some morning thoughts
We laid in bed, both on our sides facing our small boy who sleeps only a few feet away from us. Baby laid peacefully on his tummy (His preferred method for sleep since day #1 which made me highly nervous for the first few weeks so he spent most nights on my chest which resulted… Continue reading resting
It’s Friday morning and my baby naps. While this happens, since it takes place rather inconsistently these days, I should be tackling my list for the day. Instead I’m sipping iced tea made yesterday in anticipation of a warm weekend and organizing photos of my baby. I KNOW. I’m obsessed. And perhaps he will be… Continue reading folks, it’s all about the baby now.
