Thoughts on a Thursday
Thoughts on a Thursday: Love my baby!
What can I say? We’re busy busy over here! Baby is somewhat sleeping in a good pattern after the first night at home, which is AWESOME! We’ve had help off and on, but not enough to be intrusive. We got flowers, balloons, and a few phone calls and cards. Baby is eating well, everyone else … [Read more…]
Thoughts on a Thursday: Holy crap we have 3 kids!
A pre-school aged kid, a toddler, and a newborn. What were we thinking? Love. That’s what we were thinking.
Thoughts on a Thursday: Our first ‘real’ Thanksgiving
Okay so this post is pre-planned, because you just never know with holidays what will happen so… hopefully all will go as planned and I’ll reflect on it afterward for you. The PLAN is that tonight we will host and feed real immigrants to the US. They even have funny accents. They came seeking religion… … [Read more…]
Thoughts on a Thursday: How to sum up 5 years
I’m not even sure how I’d sum it up. I’ve changed all the diapers, done all the feedings, wiped all the bottoms, cut all the fingernails, washed all the clothes, read all the stories, taught all the basics, and in total have only spent about a week away from this child, and have no idea … [Read more…]
Cloth Diapers: Deals, steals and new prints for the Holiday Gift Grab
Disclosure 10 weeks until Christmas (6 until Hanukkah) Did that get your attention? Trust me, this year I’m counting down towards the holidays with increasing speed. I’m battling a LOT of things at once. The first being the fact that I’m pregnant and will be having a baby (fingers crossed) before then. The double whammy … [Read more…]
Thoughts on a Thursday: Is this pregnancy over yet?
I’ve never been one for ‘get this kid out of me’… and it’s not CARRYING the kid that’s the problem. Because he/she is awesome, right? My doctor promised. Lol. What the problem is.. is.. well everything else. All the symptoms. Let’s get it all out there shall we? I’ve been hinting around at this, … [Read more…]
Thoughts on a Thursday: Do you feel like a grown up yet?
In 4 weeks, my oldest will turn 5. I’ll also have a 2 year old and be 33 weeks pregnant. So why don’t I feel like a grown up? Most days I still feel like that inner 13 year old, never quite sure of what’s coming next, and more than willing to just go along … [Read more…]
Thoughts on a Thursday: Growing up a country kid
For both of us, it was life…winter was barren, stark, blowing snow. It was fun trudging through drifts, sledding, giving the white stuff a good mash….it was hot chocolate with pink cheeks and slowly thawing toes. It was men you didn’t normally see in the grocery store, the churches, the bank–in overalls and boots. Giving … [Read more…]
Letter to me as a pre-teen: On Beauty, and the Truth
For some reason as I lay trying to sleep at some point the other night/morning I was thinking about what a huge lie that beauty is. Perhaps it’s something to do with the whole celebrities trying to get attention on awards shows thing, or perhaps it’s because I have 2 girls already and thinking about … [Read more…]
