…that I hate feeling nauseous. …that feeling nauseous and vomiting all the time AND raising a two year old AND working full time at night AND doing it all by yourself while your husband is away blows. …that if for no other reasons than the above, it’s nice to have him home now. …that at 10 [...]

It’s embrace the camera Thursday! I used to take all kinds of crappy photos self portraits of Avelyn and I when she was a baby. These days the fight usually isn’t worth the battle. However, wouldn’t a whole album of pictures like these just be wonderful to show my grandkids one day? No matter, she [...]

Can someone please tell me where my baby went? I mean, didn’t I just become her mother yesterday? Because I’m pretty sure my baby is, well… missing. I swear I just blinked my eyes for a split second and when they opened again this girl was standing before me. An absolutely beautiful, wild haired, funny [...]

Today was one of those perfect days. The kind of day that comes so rarely you begin to wonder if maybe you should pinch yourself, but you’re too afraid to try because you know you’ll wake up. Today Avelyn woke up singing. That perfect, soft, light song of a baby that wakes up safe and warm [...]

Hold on to your hats folks, we may be up to two, count ‘em TWO, posts today. I KNOW. I sent Avelyn off to school and Kevin off to work so I could have the day to myself and get everything done. I don’t even feel bad about it either because I will get my [...]

My daughter is perfect. Just perfect. She is smart, kind, gentle, loving, boisterous and ohmygod she is insanely funny. How can a little person at just 16-almost-17 months of age be so freaking cool? I think the most amazing thing about this feeling is the notion that most parents feel the exact same way about [...]

Not to rub it in to you Texans down there sweltering in the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad heat, but it was 79 degrees when I took this picture and if you can’t tell from that face, we are having a fantastic time. You know the drill. Name this picture.

I finally took it upon myself to clean out both cars and move Hobo’s car seat back to the Accord from the Pilot. This was not, of course, out of respect for my weekly plan, my mile long to-do list or parental responsibility. It is a direct response to the fact that I am butt-ass [...]

[Click play or here if the song doesn’t play. It will open in a new window.] We are having a great start of summer around here. Swimming, FIRST pigtails, learning the art of “sliding” at the park, learning to eat big people food like chicken, meat loaf, spinach, green beans, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, [...]
