Building a Parenting Library — Recommended Reading

I mentioned awhile ago that I received a $500 grant to start our La Leche League library.  I had a lot of fun thinking about the books I would recommend to local moms and what was helpful to me the first or second time around.  Of cou[...]

I think I Might Be Nesting

I hope all of you who celebrate Christmas had a wonderful little break.  I've been working away trying to get websites finished, several of which are behind schedule despite my best efforts.  I'm still glad I did my pre-baby special (I got som[...]

Pink or Blue?

The last giveaway for this week is more of a fun little game I like to call   I am 36 weeks pregnant now, which means we are no longer counting months, but are counting weeks until Peach is born and we finally get to meet him or her.  Since we[...]

30 Days of Thanks: Homebirth and Our Midwife Sybille

I took Nora for her three year old check up today (we were a little late last year and now are doomed to forever be off on her check ups because of insurance).  She's 28lbs, around 34 inches tall, and just perfect, growing on her own littl[...]

Friends, Yoga, Love and a Whole Lot of Gratitude

Six months have flown by and now that summer's over and I'm 15lbs heavier with a belly out-to-here, we're just about in countdown mode for Peach's arrival. Everyday, Nora tells me, "Wow, Mama, your tummy is getting really, really big!" and perf[...]

Nesting, a.k.a. I’m Not Crazy, I Swear

I know we aren't going to have a baby for five months.  I know there is absolutely no reason why I need to be setting anything up yet... Except that we got an actual bookshelf for Nora, so we moved the changing table out of her room and[...]

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 brewe[...]

Birth Plans Second Time Around

Aside from sheer exhaustion and pants that are getting a little harder to button, it's almost easy to forget that I'm pregnant.  We get so busy with our days that, unless my body reminds me to slow down, I don't think too much about it. &n[...]

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
