Ikey is three months old today. Man I wish I had a birthday every month. That’d be so cool. So now I guess I fill you in on all things Ikey. Right now he’s sitting in his bouncy chair in a stripped onsie that his cousin Cornelius wore 10 years ago. The bouncy chair almost… Continue reading Happy Birthday Isaac!!

My Little Problem
I have this little problem that becomes a really big problem in certain situations. The formal name for it is adult ADD but I don’t like using it. Whenever I talk about having ADD everyone gets quiet. Family members especially. No I haven’t been formerly diagnosed with ADD. My counselor and I came to that… Continue reading My Little Problem
I’m Famous??
The other day I gathered my courage and stepped on the scale. I haven’t been a good eater lately I must confess. When there’s this much chaos in my life I have a hard time staying controlled in all areas. So I’ve been eating poorly. I was very surprised when I stepped on the scale… Continue reading I’m Famous??
Mostly Photos
I got a little excited yesterday. I was trying to figure out how to make my dragon tree sprout more branches and whatnot and I got into pruning and then I just went a bit scissor crazy on my house plants. I’m so excited though. I love caring for my houseplants and actually they love… Continue reading Mostly Photos
Mung
I have a sensory experience that I’ve set up for you all. This requires no tools and you’ll actually get to SMELL Isaac. Who’s excited? Let’s begin: take a finger and insert it into your belly button, now move it around and create some friction for some heat. Do this for about and minute and… Continue reading Mung
Who Are You People?
I love 2″ faux wood blinds, they’re beautiful. They’re nestled perfectly into my windows now, blocking out the sun and the people who’ve been spying on me while I’ve been nursing these past 20 days. Issac is happily munching on my right boob and I have a little bowl of Oreo ice cream that I’m… Continue reading Who Are You People?
Guilt
Why does being a mother involve guilt? Is it the guilt that drives us or the love? There’s nothing worse than non parents pointing out your faults as a parent. I don’t feel horribly guilty. My kids are going to have a way less stressful childhood than mine so I know they’re ok. Hopefully they… Continue reading Guilt
Thirteen Things I Love About My Husband
Thirteen Things about Me 1. He’s the owner of a pair of amazing blue eyes. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed looking into any eyes so terribly much as his. 2. He took on the roll of being a father like he had always been one. He loves our boys so much and watching him… Continue reading Thirteen Things I Love About My Husband
Composting
So, I started to look at composters yesterday to see if there was a smaller one that was nice and sealed so it didn’t stink. I came across this: click the photo for their website It’s a composter that you keep in your KITCHEN or outside and it’s all electric and computerized and wonderful. It’s… Continue reading Composting
Sprinkler Fun
Yesterday marked the very first time I watered my very own lawn. Silas joined in on the festivities and we came out with these wonderful photos of him in all his glory. What I didn’t realize during is that while he was enjoying this water bottle, he was also pooping. Then he touched it.… Continue reading Sprinkler Fun
This and That and Whatever Else
This one is long but I’m in a mood so I think it’s especially entertaining. Brent’s at church doing sound. It’s funny because he’s a darn good sound guy and he hasn’t done it for long. I kind of dislike sound day Sunday’s because it takes 6 hours. Our church is in a school gym… Continue reading This and That and Whatever Else
Snorting and an American Idol Rant
The funniest thing happened last night while I was sleeping. I was having this very strange dream about having to drive this tiger around in the back of my car. I was frightened because I knew it was getting hungry and I was scared it was going to eat me. Some person kept making me… Continue reading Snorting and an American Idol Rant
