Coming to an end

November 30, 2014 by Jill Leave a Comment

Well there’s an end to the month. A near end to baby’s first year. A near end to the first semester of the school year. An end to broken arms.

An end to all things harvesty, pumpkiny and fall.
An end to National Blog Posting month. An end to my Thankful for my fans giveaway.

There seems to […]

What no one tells you about parenthood

November 26, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

It’s the waiting. Waiting for them to smile, or roll, or walk. Or talk.

Sure enough, 3 a.m. and I’m up. No chance of going back to sleep. I grabbed my book, my computer, and turned on the coffee. I’ve been awake about 2 hours now. Huh. I see 2 clocks with different times. They were both the same yesterday. I’m going with 2 hours instead of 3, but […]

NABLOPOMO Topic: Appliance you can’t live without

November 21, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

I’d like to think that in general, we could live without.. just about anything. We’d find a work around. We could hand wash in the tub and use a clothesline. We could use a gas grill and microwave if the stove quit. Vice versa. We’re able to build fires, have a whole forest of trees […]

When a kid cries from her room, my husband’s first thought is nightmare.

Talk about it Tuesday: Favorite holiday memory

November 18, 2014 by Jill 3 Comments

One of the NABLOPOMO topics from earlier in the month was to talk about your favorite holiday memory. Many things I remember aren’t ‘good’ per se, just memorable. But I’ll think about good ones for today. While I am sure most people could solidify something spectacular, I’ll post a few highlights and maybe you can […]
