I wonder when this year will stop feeling like a total blur…maybe when I’m less sleep deprived? Basically ever since Naomi’s unexpected early arrival at the end of April and everything that’s happened since, I feel like time is flying. The biggest news for June was that we were able to finally bring Naomi home …
Life After the NICU {+April, May, June 2023 Goals}
I started typing up this blog post around the 26th of April, and I literally had NO IDEA of how much things were going to deviate from what we thought was going to happen. My originally title for this post was “May 2023: The Month Where We Become a Family of Six,” but we’d already …
Sorting Baby Clothes Already?! {+ Other April 2023 Goals}
March basically consisted of two things: potty training and sickness. Almost all plans had to be cancelled (including a highly anticipated trip back up to Northern Utah to our old stomping grounds) because of one or both of those things, and the major sickness affecting everyone in our house meant that potty training kind of …
Officially Hitting the Third Trimester…Come On, Nesting Urge! {March 2023 Goals}
Whew, February usually goes by pretty fast (ya know, short month and all), but this year I feel like it went by glacially slow. I blame the snow. The endless, endless snow. We haven’t seen our grass since November, and we also haven’t seen temperatures above about 40 degrees since November. Most of the time …
“File Taxes” Is Always First {February 2023 Goals}
You guys, I did it — I got through a January that I didn’t just feel like I had to grit my teeth through! In fact, I actually ENJOYED quite a bit about it!! This is a major, major win for me since I’ve had winter blues for about as long as I can remember, …
Finally, a January I’m Not Dreading! {January 2023 Goals}
December always passes by in such a whirlwind, but it’s so fun having so much to look forward to throughout the month. I especially was feeling grateful because the beginning of December marked my transition into the second trimester of this pregnancy, which came with a definite easing up of symptoms. We also found out …
First Trimester’s Over – Let’s Catch Up! {December 2022 Goals}
I’m amazed I got ANYTHING crossed off in November. Granted, I made sure to keep the list pretty easy since I knew I’d likely be feeling crummy the entire month, but still. The first trimester and I have never gotten along too well, and basically every day was just a loooooong slog through morning sickness …
And Then We Rested? {November 2022 Goals}
October came as somewhat of a surprise since our first freeze came weeks and weeks later than expected…in fact, I sold my last bouquet of the season on October 18! Because our growing season lasted so much longer than last year, it meant that all of our autumn tasks were put off until that hit, …
