I don't think I was fully prepared for parenthood (who really is?). I think part of me expected that life would go on as usual only now we'd have a little baby tagging along with us. I really didn't realize how much things would change, or how quickly. One day, I was living this independent… Continue reading Finding myself.
Month: March 2017
Snoozing and sneezing.
It's been a slow start to the week for us. The weekend was good, but Spencer came down with a cold Saturday night and he and I missed church. I caught his cold and we had a really rough night last night. He just would not sleep whatsoever until after 2 AM, even though he… Continue reading Snoozing and sneezing.
Thrifter’s report: March.
So this month I decided to resurrect my eBay store and start putting effort into listing and selling stuff again. I need to get a little more consistent and disciplined, but let's face it, I'm just not really either of those things. Anyway, here's my report for March (and we still have a week left,… Continue reading Thrifter’s report: March.
The right choice.
My life has seen a lot of changes... a lot of decisions, both good and bad. I am someone who chooses with her heart more than her mind. I'm not afraid to make mistakes, but with big decisions, I obviously spend time wondering if I made the right one. I know without a doubt that… Continue reading The right choice.
16 months.
Spen-J is 16 months old today. HE IS THE BEST. The literal best. We couldn't have been blessed with a sweeter, funnier boy. (Help me remember that when he's older.) At 16 months, his vocabulary and personality are really blossoming. I love watching him think and process things. And he of course has no filter,… Continue reading 16 months.
Grandma.
I didn't have a mom growing up, and as much as I loved my dad, I didn't always feel very connected with him emotionally. My very favorite relative was always my Grandma Donna. She lived two hours away from us and we would talk on the phone every single night. I remember before cell phones,… Continue reading Grandma.
When we stopped going to church on Sundays.
I'm watching Jordan and Spencer playing with a ball and chasing each other around the living room, laughing while I make dinner, and I'm thankful. Thankful because we just got home from church and no one is stressed and we were able to just worship and participate in the service without any distractions or hang… Continue reading When we stopped going to church on Sundays.
Friday faces.
Busy bees.
It's been a busy month for us so far, as evidenced by my slowed down posting. Well, what's new? I started selling on eBay again over the past couple weeks. I took a long break from it, but finally got my motivation back. I'll make another post soon about the fun things I've sold. It's… Continue reading Busy bees.
So tired.
I never knew the meaning of tired until I had a baby. Oh my goodness... I... am... so... tired. But it's not sleepy tired, like I could just go collapse in a heap on the bed and sleep for 12 hours. I actually have a lot of trouble sleeping even when Spencer is sleeping (which… Continue reading So tired.
