My amazingly awesome friend Lilli spoke 4 words of truth to me last week + I can’t get them out of my head: you’re cannibalizing your blog. She was talking about Facebook + how I use my status updates as a writing outlet. I love to write. Most of the time, I think what I write is fairly entertaining. But here’s the thing: There is not a single, solitary cell in my entire body that believes anyone really cares what I have to say. So I tend to not write. Continue reading Here’s the Thing I just have to share this adorable little bunny rabbit softie that I whipped up for my girl recently. The pattern is amazing. I found it at The Mary Frances Project and couldn’t be more pleased with the directions..and the results! My amazing mom bought me a new sewing machine. Because she rocks. My old one was a wreck, tangling up my threads, etc. I was missing pieces of it, and it could only do two stitches and one speed. My new little dreamer, while still Continue reading Here Comes Peter Cottontail I recently had a chance to share our family’s story of how God orchestrated to keep us in Pittsburgh instead of us moving to Maryland, and how He cleared the way for Sean to become a stay-at-home dad. I pray it encourages you! Sweet mercy has life been zooming by quickly. They tell you it will. All of them. They all say it. They are not lying. We have two kids now. Two. One is 2 1/2 years and one is almost 3 month old. Is that crazy? When did this happen? And somehow, I’m actually NOT completely freaked out by adding to our brood. me + shorties Never mind i’ll be {gasp} FORTY in like 3 1/2 years. The way I see it, I have 2 Continue reading A Little Bit of Everything, A Whole Lot of Update Our family has been on quite a ride for the past nine months, as I was busy growing our little baby boy in mah belly. It was an eventful and complicated pregnancy, chock full of calls to the midwives, trips to the hospital and sleepless nights. He was due to arrive on Christmas Day, but after too much adventure in the womb, he decided to take one more complicated bow and come 3 1/2 weeks early. That, in and of itself, is another post for another time. But take a Continue reading The Most Wonderful Time of the Year I’m pretty well convinced that as my belly grows, so do my hormones and my capacity for immense amounts of Sobby McWeepsalot impressions. And it really doesn’t take much. Seriously. On Halloween day, the Today Show hosts all dressed up as members of Britain’s royal family at the big wedding…and I cried when the fake bride got out of the fake limousine for the fake wedding. Pathetic. I have countless stories of the funny things that made me cry when I was pregnant with the iToddler. Ridiculous things. I’m Continue reading Big, Ridiculous Softie The iToddler is obsessed with poop. Is this a 2 year-old milestone that wasn’t included…well…anywhere? Tonight, we were walking up the stairs to go to bed, and she points to a package of toilet paper, asking, “Mommy, wassAT?” And I reply, “That’s toilet paper, baby.” And she says, “OHHH! Mommy’s pooping paper!” Who’s teaching her this stuff? I decided to take a little social media break recently and so I deactivated my Facebook page. What I didn’t realize when I did that, was how essential it is to me to be able to write about motherhood and life and my funny little observations along the way. I guess there’s a part of me that truly is a writer…or at least a storyteller. Anyway, as I enter my 9th month of pregnancy with baby BAM, I have so many thoughts. First of all, I Am Huge Friday Giggles Literally. We’re on vacation this week, visiting my parents and my mom thought maybe we could try the iToddler in a big girl bed. Even though she’s fine in a crib at home, she’s just too big for the pack-n-play she usually sleeps in here. Getting her into the bed wasn’t too traumatic, and she slept for about 7 hours with no problem. By 3, she was up and in my bed with Sean and me. Problem was, there’s not really room for three of us, so around Continue reading I Woke Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed I so wish I had a picture to share with you of what happened last night. It’s bone-chilling. My words will have to paint it for you. My hubs has been working overnight shifts the past 7 weeks or so so he could be home to get the iToddler out of bed in the morning and put her to bed at night, because I had been on rest for placenta previa (now resolved, and a post will be coming about that soon). It’s been great…until about a week ago. What Continue reading Forget Clowns, I’m Terrified of Toddlers |
