Nursing in Public

Yes, that's an arbitrary nursing picture with ***gasp*** a boob in it.  Given the topic of this post, it only seems appropriate to share a picture of my little Zara Bea doing her favorite thing.  If that offends you, then you might no[...]

Pumping and Time Apart

Tonight, I pumped for the first time since Zara's birth.  I sat on my bedroom floor, answering question after question from my curious preschooler as I followed a ritual at once both familiar and foreign.  Unzip the black bag that was[...]

Behavior Modification, Santa and the Elf on the Shelf

It's the time of year where I'm due for at least one blog post about how we're fumbling our way through winter holiday traditions and figuring out what works for our family.  I wasn't originally planning to write about about Santa today, a[...]

Labeling a Life of Work and Family

It seems I've forgotten how to blog...and maybe dial the phone, too.  Thank goodness for Facebook where I can at least post an occasional status update or photo as a means of reassuring my mother (all the way down in Texas) that, yes, we'r[...]

Weaning Nora

World Breastfeeding Week is coming to a close, and after a busy three days of classes, speakers, and events on Nantucket, I was exhausted (and, frankly, remembered exactly what it was that I didn't like about working full-time while parenting).[...]

Rallying

It was five o'clock.  I was standing at the kitchen sink, only just starting on breakfast dishes.  I was exhausted and hungry after a full day of playgrounds, walks, bike rides, and  errands and appointments that did not go as exp[...]

Growing

Things keep changing, no matter how much I will them to keep still.  It's almost unbelievable that this little girl, who builds sandcastles and begs to be buried was once horrified by the prospect of sand. That the gi[...]

Good Things Come

We're exhausted.  Well, at least the grownups in this family are...I don't think Nora has any concept of exhaustion that goes from day-to-day. No, she is a well of youthful energy, which sounds ridiculous for me to say given that I'm not th[...]

I remember when she used to pretend to work on websites on a leapfrog play computer because that's what she heard me talking about. And now she has her own real computer and is super into writing - she even started a blog. 😭 They grow up way too fast.

I'm officially a dance mom. 💃

This whole competition thing is not something I did as a kid so it feels pretty foreign, but Nora is super into it and I couldn't be more proud of her. Last weekend was her first competition and because of COVID audience restrictions Chris brought her and I watched on the livestream. This weekend Vivienne and I brought her. I can't wait to see her on that stage. 🤩🤩

Bath time with ambiance a la #ERCOT. 

Luckily we have not been affected by the water issues so many others have experienced. I finally decided to bathe the little girls for the first time in over a week (with a tiny amount of water, I promise) and the power went out again. We got out a lantern and decided to just roll with it. At least it's not below 30 anymore and I managed to get the diapers washed earlier today when we thought things were back to normal.

Maybe this is the universe's way of making sure I don't stay up until 2AM working?

#snowpocalypse and poor planning on the part of the Texas Electric grid means we're experiencing a candle lit evening. So far every one is still having fun and it's not too cold in here yet so we're calling it an adventure.
