I mentioned in yesterday’s post that it had been a weekend of both loss and celebration for us, but I hadn’t mentioned another loss that we sustained (in addition to the passing of Matt’s grandma)— The loss of my pregnancy. It seems awfully hard that the first news that most of you hear about my …
A Weekend of Both Loss and Celebration
I won’t deny that 2017 has been a turbulent year for us so far, full of joyous highs and terrifying lows, sometimes within mere hours of each other. This weekend was another such indicator that our lives can have both joy and sorrow simultaneously living side by side, and it’s been a 96-hour period marked …
10 on 10
You’d think with February being a short month that I’d have an easier time pretending that I was actually going to stick with just 10, but no such luck—I actually feel like I had MORE great pictures than usual that show what we’ve been up to over the past month. So here goes our (more …
To Blog or to Clean?

This means that I always have a plethora of highly entertaining material if the conversation lulls and the group at large just needs a fabulously awful train wreck of a story …
The Motherhood Diaries: A Failed Bubble Bath

Sometimes I don’t include some events because they’re too mundane (like us eating leftover homemade mac & cheese for lunch today for about the 3rd time …
What To Do When You’re Losing Steam on Your Goals
We’ve somehow all ended up in March already, inching right up on a quarter of the year over and gone. For me, I like to revisit my new year’s resolutions every few months or so to make sure I’m still on track, and to re-evaluate if necessary. This year, I kept my resolutions much …
I Love Being a SAHM, But I Don’t Always Enjoy It
It’s been a rough start to the week, with February blowing out in a flurry of snow and ice and cold temperatures (nothing new here) and my head feeling like a drifting balloon due to the fact that I’m hyped up on Mucinex (thanks to my first big cold of the winter…woo hoo). I have …
