It’s been a long week. Tuesday morning Pierce kicked my coffee (unfinished from the day before… I hadn’t even gotten that far yet) and the coffee spilled all over the desk. A few drops hit the laptop keyboard, but I wiped them off quickly and didn’t think too much of it. And then. Twenty minutes […]
It’s beginning to look a little like Christmas…
I’ll be the first to admit I’m horrible at decorating. It’s just not my thing. I’m not sure if I just don’t care enough or if I just don’t have the space (and hands-free children) to be able to do very much, but I’ve never pursued it very hard. When we bought this house, though, […]
Once in a while, I’m amazed that things can go so well.
I’ve always shopped ahead. My kitchen typically busts at the seams with food, and skipping shopping for a week or two means the only thing we really run out of the gets desperate is milk and fruit. It’s worked well for me, and I don’t meal plan but cook out of the cabinets. I’ve tried […]

Ponderous thoughts, stranger approved.
I took Pierce with me grocery shopping tonight. Any time I take just one child with me, they think it’s the best thing ever. They get chatty, giggly, and just love our “date” in the produce aisle. Pierce isn’t any different. He’d holler “Dada! Dada!” and I’d say “No! Momma!” and he’d laugh and laugh […]
Math brain.
Amount of time it takes for Pierce to shatter the glass plate at the restaurant on the floor after the waiter, who most obviously does not have a one year old, places it in front of him: 1.3 seconds. Best part about going out to eat on your birthday: not having to clean up the […]
Happy birthday to me.
Today is my 29th birthday. It’s a weird age. I feel like I have one more year to cling to my twenties. Ruby made it all better, though. She informed me I was almost thirty, and then turned to Sterling and asked him what comes after 30. When he told her 31 comes next, she […]
Hello, frailty.
For a long time, I’d been immune to poison ivy. I could pull it with my bare hands without issue – and I did. Then last summer, I got it into my head to pull all of the poison ivy around our lilacs. I pulled a lot of poison ivy that day. Immunity over. Apparently, […]
Shopping fail.
I tried a new idea for shopping trip chaos organization. It was the worst trip we’ve had in a long, long time. Does that mean it was a major fail or do we try this again next time and hope it was just adjusting to a new routine?! Some lady, under her breath, muttered at […]
Say what?!
Her sentence began, “Momma, if it’s vegetarian’s day…” I cringed. “Honey, it’s not vegetarians day.” Her older, wiser sister piped up, “It’s veterinarian’s day.” I shook my head, trying not to laugh, and most definitely not going to end this conversation with the truth until I heard all of their scenarios. “Vergarians?” “No! It’s veteranians!” […]
