If you follow me on various social media networks you may know about the injury poor Nathan was given by by our 2 year old, Everly, the other night. This was the first time a trip to the emergency room was contemplated as a result of kid rowdiness. I was reading in the bath and...

Maybe my post titles just sum things up and leave no point to read or comment, maybe the topic directions are in the shitter. Either way I am finding myself less and less motivated to blog these days. Of course the time and brain cells to do so are severely lacking… and I now have...

One cold fall morning this week I saw my bunnies sunning themselves in the doorway of the hutch call cute and cuddly. They’ve got love to keep them warm. LOL! I went to clean the cat box and Everly said to me “Mama, let me try” as she grabbed the scooper from me and dove...

I am following the trend of other bloggers and starting up a Friday Phone Dump here on the blog. It gives an interesting look at how the week shaped up, without so many words (cause face it who has time for those?). Really though, it is fun for me to see how the week has...

We’ve hardly begun to settle in to a routine again since the birth of Adalyn and now it is about time to start transitioning the homestead in preparation for the colder months. It is not surprising but the last six weeks have basically flown by, fall totally crept up and surprised us. It was the...

It’s taken five weeks thanks to the crappy video editing program and the general demands of parenting a newborn but I am relived to say… The Live Streamed Birth Video Archive is Live You can view it here, in three parts… Initially I had just hoped to have the archived live stream footage saved immediately...

The photo pretty much sums things up doesn’t it? Seriously, though. We are doing well, tired but that is nothing earth-shattering right? Adalyn is 3 weeks old and throwing us for a loop poop wise. I shall not bore you with poop details. Ask if you want to know and I’ll bore away though. Everly...

Thank goodness my toddler is sort of a clean freak! These newborn days are sure leaving mama tired, not as tired as the first time around but still quite exhausted. You know, feeds every three hours or so with much cuddling and soothing needed before anyone can go back to sleep will leave anyone tired....

Three years ago next month we went apple picking. We were new to Evansville and were excited to partake in u-pick apple fun. We planned to score several pounds of apples and head home to preserve them cause preserving is something we enjoy. When we got to the orchard I realized I was feeling off....

Yesterday marked the conclusion of Adalyn’s first week of life. We are back home and getting back to the family routine with Nathan back to work. Adalyn is becoming more and more of a presence in the house as her newborn, likely jaundice induced sleepiness wears off. Just yesterday morning she grunted for a feed...
