I feel as though my posts are merely updates, pictures, and recipes. I can’t remember the last time I wrote a very meaningful post on here.
And this is because I have slowly but surely lost control of my day.
I felt as though I was on a roll when Benjamin was 7-8 months old. […]

It’s coming dangerously close to that time of year when I have to spew out maternal-hormone-soaked drivel about my babies getting older.
I don’t want to do it.
Because I don’t want to believe it.

I would say “Shopping With Children,” but “CVSing With Children” is just an entirely different level of shopping.
When shopping, the cart doesn’t really stop moving. You grab the items on your list, trying to set a world record for Shortest Grocery Trip Ever.
When CVSing, you meander up and down the aisles, calculator in one […]

I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed. And down-trodden. And burnt out.
Then the Lord was gracious enough to reveal to me a passage from the Bible that has turned my life up-side down.
Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
If you do away with […]

Remember when I was oh-so-proud of my cloth diapering skillz? I was content with the basics. Just covers and prefolds. Throw in a snappi and I’m over-the-moon. Recently I’ve become less and less satisfied with what I have. And more and more convinced I need, well, MORE.
And I want it […]

I don’t love to shop. I love the concept of shopping. I love getting new things. I love packages in the mail.
I hate decisions. And when you are shopping for car seat? The decisions are life-and-death!
LATCH?
5-Point Harness?
Memory foam?
40lb weight limit?
65lb weight limit?
$40?
$269?
Reclining?
Cup-holder?
Color?
Reviews?
Reviews.
REVIEWS!
Do we shop conservatively, even though these seats are […]

You may have heard that one of the positive side effects of pregnancy is that gorgeous, thick, full head of hair. Well, it’s a positive if you are normally of the limp-haired variety, anyway. Then you simply adore that the pregnant scalp tends to jealously retain every fiber, leading to all-out lovely locks.

Your first runny nose.
Your first red-rimmed eyes.
Your first real fever.
Your first sleepless night.
Your first little sneezes,
and sniffles,
and coughs.
I hold you close.
I sing to you softly.
I share in your pain,
your discomfort,
your ills.
I want you to know
not only in good times
but also in need,
desperation,
and want;
I will be here.
I will love you.
I will never give up.
