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.
Remember this.
Being a mother is hands-down my greatest accomplishment, my fullest joy, and my reason for living. Nothing else has touched my heart or changed me as a person so profoundly. From what I've heard about my mother, she loved being my mom as well. She loved doing things with me and taking me places and… Continue reading Remember this.
Happy weekend.
Lots of family time. Beautiful weather, fun walks, and a teeny bit of grocery shopping.
Sunshiny Monday with my sunshiny boy.
We had a great Monday. Spencer ran around the house all morning, screaming and laughing and dragging his toy cars across the carpet.

We spent a lot of time together, obviously, but it wasn't the same as sharing a life and home together. We both had roommates in college, so we had… Continue reading Learning to love differences.

The great windshield miracle of 2017.
I'm mildly embarrassed to tell this story, but it's kind of hilarious. Let me preface by saying that Jordan and I drive the same kind of car, only different colors, and his windshield has a huge crack across it which we were planning to get fixed when we got our tax refund. Our church has… Continue reading The great windshield miracle of 2017.
The toddler and the lobster.
When you take a baby out to a restaurant, it's not a big deal. Usually the baby is content to nap in their carseat, or let people take turns holding him/her. When you take a toddler to a restaurant, especially a non-fast food restaurant... it can be a little more stressful. 😜 Jordan's parents got… Continue reading The toddler and the lobster.
