Motherhood
Spew In This

Posted On February 18, 2014

What’s that sound? You may ask… I think that was the dominoes, clinking down. One. By. One.  Oy. Welp. I think the universe is tempting me to max out my lifetime usage of the word barf in one week. Well-played, universe.  […]

This. Is Parenthood.

Posted On February 16, 2014

Posted On February 14, 2014

It's a Beautiful Day

Posted On January 31, 2014

Last night, between feeds, our little man snoozed in his own space. And he was pretty peaceful. All night. Apparently I should have written about it sooner.  This morning, I was able to put him down asleep to so I […]

Up All Night

Posted On January 30, 2014

Adam and I have been taking turns. We’ve literally been *sitting* up all night. In that chair right up there. Since Monday, or what shall henceforth be known as the BEST night ever {at least the best in the few […]

Sanity Check

Posted On January 29, 2014
