M&M is now eleven months old. And her parents are eleven months exhausted. Give or take. I’m now looking back fondly on the first five months of co-sleeping, but it clearly did not suit M as well as it did her older sister. We are the zombie-like result of getting up multiple times a nightRead more
Ahhhhh, a post. This is what I’ve been longing to do for days now. Weeks? How long has it been? Time is slipping through my fingers as usual. Our recent weekend adventures that involve days of prepping the week before and bleed into the week after have sapped most semblance of normalcy around here. WeRead more
Now a week old, this bouquet has definitely seen better days. Last Friday morning Dot and I went on a Starbucks date before her doctor’s appointment. Yes, another doctor’s appointment! After a week battling the high fever, there was only a brief reprieve before she came down with a massive double ear infection. Goddamn thatRead more
It’s another sick day for us! Oh the joys. Thankfully it’s not actually us. As of this moment, it is just Dot. She spiked a high high fever yesterday (we’re talking 104º-105º range). Meds brought it down, but just two or three degrees. So she’s home from daycare. And missing gymnastics this evening too. AndRead more

It’s not like I often know how long the little one will sleep. Today is stormy. I’m still battling a cold, and especially struggling with a lingeringRead more
6:32am: Went to bed at 8:30 last night + can’t breathe = I guess I have a cold? I don’t even know anymore… 7:46am: Listening to Aqua while I make pancakes with my girls. Hello 7th grade! Sometimes life is silly. 10:17am: Yard work time. http://t.co/j6OPw4Z 11:46am: Not that it’s an option, but if itRead more
I am currently having one of the silliest moments to date. It’s 6am on a Monday morning. I’m sitting on the floor of my master bath, blogging on my laptop. On the counter is a much-needed jolt of caffeine–steeping chai tea and a can of whipped cream. How did I get here? First, the whippedRead more
