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.

When I see this face.
Just a few portraits of my boy... getting him to sit still for pictures is getting harder and harder. 😜 I found it so interesting after Spencer was born how many people thought he looked like different people. Everyone had an opinion of who he looked JUST like. A lot of people thought he was… Continue reading When I see this face.
Weekend recap.
We decided to go out to eat on Friday instead of me cooking dinner; it was just a really crazy week and we felt like getting out of the house. We ended up getting KFC for dinner because it's something that all 3 of us like and can agree on, plus it's pretty affordable. Spencer… Continue reading Weekend recap.
Don’t wish this away.
There's beauty (and difficulty) in each phase of life. What if we could learn to just appreciate that instead of wishing we were already in the next phase? Especially regarding the baby/toddler phase - it seems like so many parents talk about that phase like it's something to be survived or endured, rather than cherished… Continue reading Don’t wish this away.
Same stuff, different day.
Most days, it seems like I do the same things over and over. And it almost feels pointless to do these things, because no one really notices. No one is applauding my work or promoting me... I'm not receiving any awards. Of course, I'm referring to the work that I do at my primary job,… Continue reading Same stuff, different day.
When you don’t have a mother on Mother’s Day.
Mother's Day can be a difficult day for a lot of people, especially those who have lost their mother. I am so fortunate to have a mother-in-law now who has honestly filled that role in my life, but for more than 20 years of my life, I had no mother on Mother's Day. Here are… Continue reading When you don’t have a mother on Mother’s Day.
Missouri evening.
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.
Our first bully.
I took Spen out a couple times today, and now that he's getting bigger, he's starting to have more contact with other kids, especially "big" kids, and that kind of freaks me out. Our paths crossed with two different kindergarten age boys today. The first was at Barnes and Noble. There's a little table in… Continue reading Our first bully.
