I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

Forging ahead – Bringing our car home from Arizona

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans…

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

Live broadcast and chat fun is coming to the blog, come get your chat on now!

Posted on Mar 17 in Life in Evansville, personal storiesby TalinaPrint

Tater’s birth is coming up pretty fast! She is due around June 25th and I’ll be heading off to The Farm on June 13th for my “delivery month” (38 to 42 weeks pregnant) where I will sit and wait for her to come. The Farm is a great place for all things natural and I am super pleased to be having my natural childbirth there. Yay!

Unfortunately for my readers and far away buddies I wont have internet access once I get there. Which means I wont be blogging or updating while I am there. I am going to have major internet withdrawal folks!

But, we are working out various other options like tweeting updates via text message and also having guest posts from other bloggers to keep the content fresh here while I am away. Email me if you are interested in guest posting.

Lately N and I have been toying with the idea of doing a live video chat right before we head off to The Farm to have Tater. We thought it would be something that readers and also friends and family would enjoy. You know so I can show you guys the bump, we can talk about how things are going and you can see us with your own two eyes! Questions can be asked and we can just have some sort of face time together right before I take my little leave of absence.

We’ll hook up our webcam and do a little broadcast via Ustream that will appear right here on the blog for you guys to see in real time.

The broadcast will also have a chat function. Which means you’ll be able to watch the video broadcast and also chat with us in real time! We’ll answer your questions and respond to you right then via the video broadcast, pretty nifty huh? Isn’t the internet amazing?

It will be so much like a face to face encounter, which is cool considering we are so freaking far away from everyone these days!

Here is a sample broadcast of ours, it is prerecorded broadcast of Tater’s movements that I did as a test run.
Live streaming video by Ustream

Since the above sample it isn’t a live broadcast we may not all be here to chat at the same time (unless you just popped over via a reader right after I published this), I thought it gives a good taste of how cool the whole setup could be though.

Also, N and I are toying with another idea… doing a “live test broadcast” that we’ll announce here on the blog so you guys can mark your calenders and attend it, if you are interested.

The topic if the test broadcast: We thought it might be fun to share our walk though of the new house the day we get our keys! That way can show you the empty place room by room at that time and get a feel for the chat/ broadcast set up while we do it.

Of course that is all dependent on whether or not we have internet access at the new place by that time but we are working to make it happen! Figured it could be a fun blog post too.

We’ll probably password protect the broadcast, you know to keep the stalkers and creeps away. I’ll need to know who all to send the password to… So, if you are interested being included in these broadcasts please say so in the comments section or shoot me an email so I can add you to the broadcast notification list.

Oh and Happy St Patrick’s Day! Wanna see how dumb I was back in the 6th grade around this time? Check out my styling GREEN hair!!!

I know, she is doing it on purpose! Now her daddy is on TV and I am a fine arts performer so she can’t be all shy and timid about being watched, there is no way we created a camera shy baby!
