Child #1 is a huge adjustment. You hover. You lay awake at night listening to all the chirps and burps rumbling from this new little creature laying in the zoo-animal-bedazzled porta-crib next to you. You change your baby’s clothes every. single. time. they spit out the tiniest portion of bodily fluid. You change their diaper… Continue reading The Extra
I have two sons. I am the mother of two. I know millions of women have more than one child. I just have to say it over and over again and type it to really believe it. It really does make me feel on top of the world. My little Huddy Buddy turned two months… Continue reading 2 Months Huddy Buddy
We’ve been having so much fun this fall. It’s easy to do that with a precocious almost-two-year-old. There’s been a lot of sugar involved. And costumes. Costumes should be allowed all year. Mothers love costumes.

You list 5 things that you’re thankful for everyday. Day #1: A fun family, Trick or Treating, lazy rainy weekends in our jammies, big kid friends and sleeping… Continue reading 30 Days of Gratitude

The 4 night wakings by the 7 week-old causing a sleepy Mama who can’t pull herself from the covers before 6:30 AM. But… Continue reading Quiet-Time Basket
Once a week or so Tripp and I love to get all messy in the kitchen. Tripp calls it, simply, “Cook.” He stands on a kitchen chair. I tie a vintage apron around his neck and he eats chocolate chips while I bake something fun. Occasionally he will stick his finger into the bowl or… Continue reading Fun Foods
As I chased my almost two-year old at the park yesterday I thought about how pure and good he was. His little heart bursts at the seams when he sees his dad at the end of the day. He doesn’t care that he wears shoes without a brand name or that his Mommy dressed him… Continue reading What I Know To be True
Huddy, you are one month old today and I cannot believe how fast this month has gone. It makes me sad to think your 1st month in the world is over but at the same time I am so excited for all that lays before you. Month 1 has been challenging and so amazing, all… Continue reading 1 Month Old
