For almost 2 years I have lent my body to another. I endured weeks and weeks of morning/afternoon/night sickness as I developed a tiny little human. My body stretched and contorted to accommodate the growing little angel that was going to appear. Then 10 months later, my body readied itself for the ultimate moment... Continue Reading →
The most fascinating part of my 11 month old daughter is her bounds of energy. Obviously, her ability to pick up new skills is pretty incredible, but her energy level in simply unbelievable. I suppose, at one point in my life, I had this endless amount of energy as well, but I can't recall... Continue Reading →
5am on February 11, 2016 was a miserable time. My sweet Emma was a little over a week old, and I was a dirty, overly tired, moody, hormonal zombie. I had zero idea how to make her stop crying that night, and I had been awake for a long, long, long time. The interesting thing about... Continue Reading →
These days, I'm nostalgic. My sweet baby girl is now 10 months old, and every day is a new adventure for her. In the last week she has learned how to turn on and off the tv with the remote, climb in and out of her rocking chair, work the recliner, pet the dog in... Continue Reading →

5 Months is a beautiful time. Check out our journey.
The first thing I read this morning was that 50 people had been killed, and 53 had been injured by a shooter at a popular LGTB club in Orlando. I didn't have an overwhelming initial reaction because I've become quite numb to these news stories. It seems close to every election, every major decision-making time in... Continue Reading →
Before my daughter was born, I knew that I would be cloth diapering. I read horror stories about how our landfills are piled with diapers that wouldn't break down properly. I listened to mom after mom struggle to find a diaper that wouldn't break her kid out in rashes. I kept hearing about the dreaded... Continue Reading →
What's so interesting about having a baby is how much help you have in the first few hours. Nurses are everywhere tending to your every need. Your family comes to visit giving you time to breathe while they love on the new baby. Everyone is attentive and helpful. And then 24-48 hours later, you go home.... Continue Reading →
