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 [...]

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 [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

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. [...]

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. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

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 [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

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 [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

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 [...]

Sunday Stealing: The Dating Profiles Meme

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 [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

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 [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

One lovely blog award and Everly rolls

Posted on Oct 01 in Blogging, blogger meme, parenting, personal storiesby TalinaPrintText Resizer Text Resizer

I was just tagged over at Auguries of Innocence as a recipient of this award and wanted to pass it along to several of the bloggers I’ve discovered via twitter. I don’t always manage to comment on the blogs I read but I am reading and making the rounds I am just lurking.

The rules of this award are:

Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link. Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

I am slowly making the transition to mommy blogger and have been loving all my mommy blogger twitter buddies (I don’t have 15 though), they make me feel like I am not alone in this mommyhood thing. I’ve learned lots from them!

These days it seems as all I have to talk about is Everly. Today she was on the play mat and wanted to see the TV better so she rolled on to her side and was chillin’ there watching the TV. It was kind of cute.

Owly Images

Which reminds me, I read this post over on mom logic that made me feel guilty about all the baby photos I’ve been sharing. I know many of you like to see her updates here on the blog since we are so far away from everyone.

At the same time I am sure some of you are sick of the photos right? I am trying to post more than just baby updates and whatnot, I just eat drink and sleep baby these days… and she is pretty darn cute, admit it!

Oh, so I am hearing that my RSS feed is wonky for some people. If you arrived here via a subscription will you please let me know how you are subscribed and if you are still getting update alerts since the blog makeover? Thanks.

    You think I might tire of photos of Everly? Think Again!!

    That she reminds me of my children and grandchildren at whatever age you photograph her is a compliment and a request for more…. MORE!

    The only regret I have about the photos of Everly is that I was not (am not!) personally there to experience them. You have no idea how badly I want to cuddle and spoil her.

    Every photo you post of Everly reminds me of a similar one of each of my grandchildren. There is joy in re-living each of those moments as well as joy in it happening anew for you and N.

    One of my daughters is now 11 weeks pregnant with her second child. While I treasure her toddler’s phone conversations, I also anticipate enjoying again the joy of cuddling a newborn.

    Another daughter has a son entering kindergarten. While I have trouble understanding his fascination with “super-heroes” and “monsters” I truly enjoy his trying to explain such to me.

    It would be accurate to say that I am a sucker for every stage of childhood… because I enjoy most their enthusiasm for each accomplishment and each thing learned.

    In fact, just today I enjoyed my youngest daughter’s reminiscence of a particular “punishment” I put her through at age 16. That she remembers it 11 years later without guilt is awesome enough, but that she compliments me on my parental skills (even though undeserved) is even more awesome. Sometimes our “instincts” serve us well.

    So… do not ever think you post too many photos of Everly. Also, do not ever think you post too much about your thoughts on child-raising. I reserve the right to disagree with you on occasion, but I also know that your right to raise your child as you see fit trumps my right to disagree.

    And, note, I have no disagreements so far… I also think that whatever “mistakes” parents might make, if they are made with a loving adoration of the child, they will do little or no harm.

    There is no ONE RIGHT WAY to raise a child.

    I never get tired of seeing that cutie pie. I have four grandchildren of my own, –my children can never send me enough pictures of them, either. You baby is adorable, and I am loving watching her grow from afar.
