Story of my life Sometimes I just feel really out of sorts. I can’t think very clearly, I have a hard time making easy decisions, I can’t find simple words when I’m talking to people, I forget to take things out of the dryer that need to air dry, I forget to do laundry … [Read more…]
If we all had this situation, we’d be in better shape mentally (and look a little less sleep deprived!) as new moms. Wondering how I can get this situation for myself come June. I probably need to win the lottery…or become a super model… But we’re not all super models, so very few of … [Read more…]
15 Month Check Up Betsy and I went to see our wonderful pediatrician (I seriously do love her) today for her 15 month check up. She had to get 3 shots, but she was a champ. I drove straight to the doctor after dropping Carson off at school. Bad decision. I don’t really know … [Read more…]

We have been enjoying our fireplace and getting some great use out of our winter clothes, especially this North Face jacket that we … [Read more…]
Redeeming myself We had a dinner with the Hartmans and Gilberts a while back at our house. I’d had all the ingredients to make caramel turtles for a while and so we decided to make them for dessert. I’ve made caramel before, but had forgotten how finicky candy can be. I cooked the caramel … [Read more…]
Christmas Lights I love, love, love putting up twinkle light in the house. I kind of wish I could keep them up all year long. Betsy and Carson love them, too.
Baby Z #3! Coming June 2014 This pickles and ice cream picture was hard fought. I do not have photographers at my disposal nor do I have much skill with my camera or with “staging” photographs. I’m a mom. That’s my main job. The rest is hobby, so it is not perfect. Have you ever … [Read more…]
Brussels Sprouts at Uchi Ben and I ate here for his birthday dinner tonight. A 1o course chef’s tasting menu that was probably the best meal we’ve ever had.
