Parenting #fail number 132: The radio alarm.

Everly, Sorry we’ve been irritated about your consistant 2am crying that you blamed on your radio, Sweetpea. We thought you were waking and turning it on for attention. Little did we know, your radio alarm was set and it was startling you awake each night this week. That sure explains...

I look at you and see this amazing little person. You are not a baby anymore, not physically and not mentally. Your intuition is something else and I hope you never lose your drive to press ahead and to forge your own path. You’ve always seemed to have your own...

Picture this: In the kitchen I stand, discussing trip logistics with Nathan. While discussing the need, or lack thereof for a portable potty chair we hear this terrible scraping and thumping above us. “Is a cat falling off the loft wall again?” We halt our discussions to look above us...
