Patience is a virtue.
I don’t have patience without really working at it. Instead, when I want something done, I want it done now. I’m type-A to a tee. I can become fixated on things, and I tend to be extrememly impatient when it comes to getting something I feel I need. I’m anal, particular, pratical, and a Virgo [...]
The blossoming of a relationship.
It goes without saying that Taylor has always loved Sullivan. We stared at Sully in the hospital, wrapped up like a little glow worm, and then stared at each other, overwhelmed by the immediate, primal feelings of parental love. We would do anything for this little creature we didn’t even know. Afterall, we created him. [...]
Separation Anxiety.
Not Sully. Me. When I was pregnant with Sully, and especially before I was pregnant with him, I remember laughing at people that couldn’t leave their kids overnight. I didn’t get it. Miss out on a weekend away? Are you CRAZY?! It never made any sense to me. I swore up and down that Taylor [...]
An Easter Vacation.
We got really brave this weekend and thought it would be an awesome idea to head on up to see family in South Carolina on Good Friday. WRONG. We were stuck in traffic for somewhere around seven and a half hours. Sully was wonderful (thank the good Lord), but Jones kept exploding dog hair all [...]
And we have a winner(s)!
Taylor and I have been traveling with our little buddy all weekend. SEVEN hours stuck in traffic. Yes, SEVEN hours. AKA=hell on wheels. Thank goodness, Sully was a dream baby. Yes, there was a DVD player involved in keeping him happy. And I have no shame in that. But, Easter was great, and Sully loved [...]
Be still, my heart.
The weather here has been beautiful. So today when Taylor got off work early (WHOOO LONG WEEKEND!), we packed up the family and headed to the neighborhood park. I may or may not have had to stop and barf in the bushes…what? Pregnant women should not eat meatballs and walk in ninety-degree heat the same [...]
Blissful Booty Review and Giveaway!
In 2006, Blissful Booty Cloth Diapers took life through the hands of their creator, Cathy. The purpose behind the company was to make a diaper available to the public that was as easy to use as a disposable and kept the comfort of the baby in mind. What developed was an All-in-One diaper free of [...]
Dear Home Owner’s Association,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sending me a lovely notice proclaiming that I shall be fined if I do not remove my cloth diapers from our laundry line immediately. Oh, and in case I wanted an alternative, thank you for letting me know that I cannot use ANY devices [...]
I’m a princess.
This weekend, Taylor and I went to a wedding of an old family friend of mine. I deliberated, bought a dress, brought a couple more along “just in case,” packed a sensible but cute pair of flats, and figured I’d glam it up with some jewlery. I guessed that no one would be paying attention [...]
