What did you think the hardest part of parenting would be before you had a kid?
Eh, I didn’t think much about it.

I’m a woman of solitude. I can enjoy myself in a quite house, alone, for hours. I need this. I want it. I crave it. No music, no TV, nothing but the sound of my thoughts and silence. I haven’t had this since the birth of my first child.
I get so tired of hearing, “MOOOOOOOM.” [...]
How to tell someone what they did or said is racist.

There are some rare birds out there that light my fire.
Some birds that fly low to the ground so landing is easy.
Some birds who create more than they take. I’m not talking poop, here, people. I’m talking luuuuuurv.

Plotting and scheming. Damn, I picked her up and carried her into the house because I forgot. Her next nap, I tell myself. Watching her scratch knowing her nails are too long causes my gut to ache. I wait. She lays down for a nap, a day later than I was hoping to get the [...]

There has been a Universal shift in anger energy in the Harmon household. I’m not talking about my home, but my MIL’s home. (In our home we work hard to practice mindfulness, especially when it comes to how we express anger. We all get angry sometimes, but… Don’t go to bed angry! Or part company [...]

Bella has been enjoying her new range of mobility and her new awareness of the use of Objects. She’ll be 18 m/o August 2nd. I often find her standing on a stool or box looking so enthused and proud of her elevated status. Like most homes with toddlers, we have a stool in front of [...]

Things I woke up for this morning:
Coffee
Max telling me he wants Bella to play with him in his room
Max excitedly exclaiming that, Bella handed me the dinosaur! She’s helping me!
Remembering to get both the kids a sippy cup of water BEFORE I sat down to eat my breakfast
Having a “grown up’s” bedroom. We still have [...]

The other night when Hal came home from work, he did an extra-special groping in honor of his attraction to me because I wear sweat pants and T-shirts. Apparently, business casual just doesn’t do it for my husband. He likes a women dressed in materials that grip her body in the most gawd-awful ways. The [...]
I’m a little slow on the drawl but manage anyway.

Hal and I have been enjoying all our new things.
I’ve started buying white linens so that I can add a little bleach to the wash. And so that when my bathroom wash clothes get moldy, I am forced to throw them away because I can’t ignore what I can see. Oh, the joys of cleaning. [...]
