It is true, I know some missed the official announcement. We are expecting again. I’ve been feeling way sick for the last 8 weeks with much more nausea than I remember when I was pregnant with Everly. I am told that is a good sign since I miscarried the cycle before this pregnancy. Nathan keeps...

“We’re not perfect, we’re parents.” I hear that damn statement like 100 times a day on Nickelodeon and it makes me insane. Surrendering to less than your best is not something that people should be proud of. I know that there is no possible way for parents to be perfect all the time and that...

I realized I never really updated you guys about the healing of Jack our orange cat. Remember the cracked jawbone, the limp he walked with and his starved state when he came home following his 2 weeks missing in action? For financial reasons we didn’t rush him off the the vet. He wasn’t appearing to...

I am well aware of how early it is still but since we’ve gotten past the point we were at last time… and since I am an over-sharer and some of you have already...

You’ll never believe what we woke up to this morning! Remember a few weeks back when I wrote:  Yo, douchy neighbor… Well after going on a weekend trip and returning late in the wee hours Sunday night he came a banging looking for help again. This time he had the gall to pound on our...

Normally I enjoy Freecycle, what is not to love about keeping perfectly good things out of the landfill? Before moving here I never had an aversion to Freecyclers, since moving I noticed a very bad taste in my mouth. All the greediness and blatant passing of useless junk aside, I am just floored at how...

Today N had only 23 deliveries on his route, this is minuscule compared to the 100-120 deliveries he was making before the holidays… While FedEx wants to keep him on through Valentines Day the number of deliveries dictates what hours and days he will work from here on out. It seems like calling in to...

The house is filled with excitement. Our baby girl is about to have her first, non-infant Christmas! She grabs the wrapped presents family and friends have sent and likes to distribute them around the living room, she stacks them, remarks about the designs on the paper… She is very good not to unwrap them as...

Somebody is in the holiday spirit these days! This morning after breakfast she swiped this off the tree somehow and began feasting on it. She’s also kind of excited about the gift bags we have packed with goodies upstairs under our mini, fake tree. Normally we have stuff wrapped and under the live, big tree,...
