This morning we slept in. Spencer woke up crying around midnight last night and I ended up just falling asleep on his bed with him... usually we get up by 7 every day, but today we slept until close to 9 and it was fantastic. Jordan saw on the news that Toys R Us might… Continue reading “Lots of Toys”

Back to the real world.
Well, the first week of full-time work and full-time daycare are over. And... I kind of loved it way more than I expected. Some observations and things I didn't expect: 1) Spencer took to daycare like he's been going his whole life. Seriously, I expected major meltdowns, clinging to my legs, refusing to nap, and… Continue reading Back to the real world.
For better or worse.
I, Kristen, take you, Jordan, to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. A little over four years ago, I stood on a stage in a white lace dress, holding… Continue reading For better or worse.
Weekend recap.
Lots of outdoor time this weekend. It was gorgeous out until today, back into the 90s. 🔥 We went walking at the park, played at the playground, and Spencer started trying to put sentences together (which sounded a lot like "babababadadadadamamamama BYE BYE DADDY HIYA MAMA"). Our best friends came over with their baby who… Continue reading Weekend recap.
Lessons from the first year: marriage.
Having a child of my own was pretty eye-opening. I feel like I learned a lot, but haven't really taken the time to reflect much on it. So I'm going to take the time. Here are a few things I learned about marriage in our first year as parents: We had to depend on each… Continue reading Lessons from the first year: marriage.
This is real romance (to me).
J and I have never been super "romantic," at least not in the way the movies would have you believe. Our idea of a date night is eating out at a non-fast food place (like Golden Corral, ha) and watching Netflix the rest of the night. Or going to watch UFC fights, or taking Spencer… Continue reading This is real romance (to me).
My Valentines.
I'm a lucky woman to have not one, but two guys who have my whole heart (just in different ways, obviously). We went out to dinner for early Valentine's Day tonight, because I want to cook dinner and stay in on Tuesday. It was just a fun evening as a family, and some much needed… Continue reading My Valentines.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
I feel like tonight is as good a night as any for a husband/father appreciation post. Moms get a lot of credit (well-deserved, of course!) but I believe good dads should as well. (Not just on Father's Day). My baby's dad... he's pretty great. To see how much he loves his boy, and how much… Continue reading Teamwork makes the dream work.
