It’s that time of year where digging in the dirt take priority over house cleaning, food making, laundry doing, and just about anything else I can think of. Jason asked me a few days ago how I would spend my weekend if I had none of those other day-to-day things to worry about and I think I decided I would… Read more →

8:21pm
I went to bed at 8:21pm tonight. Not to sleep, but to ignore all the other responsibilities staring at me. The laundry that’s not put away, the layer of food crumbs on the floor, the dishes in the dishwasher (clean) and the sink (dirty). For now they will wait. I basically said “F-it, I’m going to do something else that… Read more →
Who’s turning ONE? Christopher!
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to YOU! Happy Birthday Dear Chris-to-pher! Happy Birthday to YOU! Describe the temperament of your child: Mellow. Smiley. That pretty much sums up your first year. Smiles so big your eyes squint shut as you grin from ear to ear. I tell people you’ve been the type of baby who could make anyone like babies.… Read more →
Vay-K
On the subject of vacations, we survived a rough start to April including teething and colds and are currently spending time at my parents’ house in WI. About a week ago we flew from Salt Lake to Denver on what was THE ROUGHEST flight I’ve ever been on. I have never come so close to using an airsickness bag in my… Read more →
Crawler. Creeper. Walker?
7 Weeks ago (1/30) Christopher learned to crawl and this weekend (3/22) he walked (pushing a toy bin) all the way across the living room. It feels like he went from crawling, to creeping, to attempting to walk and climb almost overnight–like the light-bulb came on and he realized there are more dimensions to the world that he’d like to explore. Fun… Read more →
On your 3rd Birthday William-Bear
Dear William, You’re another year older! 3 whole years! Such a big man and a little boy all wrapped into one. People say you talk like a 4 year old, and I tend to agree. Such a well-spoken little gentleman most of the time. Why you still don’t enjoy baths is a mystery to me, since you keep asking every… Read more →
Motherhood musings…
Confession: Some days I miss my single/dating days with my little one bedroom apartment and lots of free/quiet time. Jason would bring his laundry and spend the weekend and we’d sleep in, or go hiking, or do dinner, or whatever else we wanted to do. Sometimes mom life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It seems easy to find… Read more →

1.17.15
Dear Blog, (The boys are taking a synchronous nap…so here it goes…) Productivity in our house increased slightly around Christmas time. This may have been in part to the fact I only worked 6 of the 14 days around the holidays. During one of those days off I managed to paint he second room in the basement and get a first… Read more →
