You Capture: Colorful
Just popping in real quick to say, I’m feeling better! Hurrah for going to bed early! And, I also wanted to share these photos that were meant for last week’s You Capture post, which never happened because I got sick. The challenge was “colorful” which seemed like it might be hard in January…until I remembered…

Report Card
I am beat. And miserable. This past week, I have been working almost nonstop. Between new website projects, client meetings, Papoose, researching/writing for this blog, childcare and housework, I worked pretty much from 9:30 am until 2:00 am for about five days in a row…until all those late nights caught up to me and whatever…

Celebrating Women
Chris may be on vacation for two weeks, but I am working away. Not only have I spent many hours this week thinking and reading about, then writing yesterday’s post, but I’ve also been doing quite a bit of “real” work too, both for Papoose and web design/development. In the wee hours of the morning…

Wonderland
Normally today, I would write a report card. I’d tell you how Chris is home on vacation while the Brotherhood is being renovated and how my father-in-law is visiting, which means the house is mostly in tip-top shape and that, with Chris’ help, I even cleaned out the attic and filed the pile of papers…

Film Friday: “That”
When I was editing the videos for last week’s film, I was struck by how much Nora’s speech and communication has changed from last year. Now she talks in full sentences, knows more words than I can count, and is understood by pretty much everyone; then she was using just single words (which were mostly understood…

Cold
So this week’s You Capture challenge was to photograph cold. Normally, in January, that would not be a problem — however we have had an oddly mild winter. It gets cold for a day or two, then goes right back to the 50’s and 60’s. It feels like spring. So springy, in fact, that someone…

Cow’s Milk And Our Family
When I was growing up, dinner always came accompanied with (what seemed like) a huge glass of white milk. In my elementary school cafeteria, we had to drink our entire carton of milk (skim, 2%, or whole, no flavoring there) before being allowed to go to recess. One of the commonly discussed milestones in the baby-toddler…

Styled, As Only A Two-Year-Old Can
Everyday, Nora is getting more and more independent. For the past two weeks, she has been all about doing things on her own. She tells me she needs privacy in the bathroom. She wants to brush her own teeth. And this just in — she wants to pick her own clothes. She wore these pajamas (two…
