30 Days of Thanks: Something to Dance About
Just popping in between websites and logo designing to share my gratitude for the day and this photo of Nora from one of our recent dance parties:She is so into putting on “shows” right now and so we have built Pandora dance parties into our bedtime routine. Sometimes I get to dance too, but mostly…

Film Friday: A Dinner Conversation
in Film FridayI was going through some videos from this summer and I found this clip from one of my dinner table conversations with Nora. We were talking about being a grown up when I decided to get out the camera (hence the “I told you already!” when I asked her what she would do as a…

Film Friday: Nora at Three
in Film FridayI’m posting! It might be about a week late and it might be 3 in the morning, but I am doing it and I’m going to pretend that’s all that matters…especially because I’m posting a Film Friday video.

As much as I love, love, love sharing breastfeeding information and was excited to learn…

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 girl wadding out with a friend (faster than Mama can keep up), knee deep, then sitting down, spent summers crying if…

Big Sister
I am incredibly behind on blogging, but I had to share these pictures of us telling Nora she is going to be a big sister. We knew there would be no way I could sneak a pregnancy by Laura, Margarete and Trish (not with a trip to the brewery planned), so before they came out…

Play Group
Just a quick milestone celebration. Today this goofy girl went to her very first playgroup all on her own and loved it. We decided that it might be good for Nora to spend some time with other kids and other adults this summer, so she’ll be going one day per week to a playgroup run…
