I took a much-needed nap today. Thank you, BellaGrace, for cooperating with my tired body.
It’s time to start preparing homemade salad dressings ‘cuz I hate olive oil and vinegar concoctions paired with any dish that isn’t Italian.
While I’m not interested in eating all raw foods {I realized today}, raw food cuisine is exciting to explore. [...]

Day Two: “All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.”

My body is not doing well. It could be the way I eat. It could be because Bella is nursing less and this causes my hormones to shift and decrease, having an effect on my joints. It could be because I have gained a lot of weight and this agitates my joints. It could be [...]

Mr. Max has been sick all week! He started running a low-grade temperature last night. It wasn’t high enough for me to worry or give him Tylenol. His cough is getting a little more flem. And he’s starting to get cranky. I think the crankiness is due more to being around me too much, rather [...]

it seems like the rest of the world is racing to get outside while we’re finding work, play, and life inside. i envy those up north who are finding that it’s time to dig out their light sweaters, or at the very least, can sit outside without breaking a sweat. the entire morning, up until [...]

One thing I forgot to mention in my Easter post, was how funny I think it is that these holiday moments, often the ones I catch on film, are really anti-climatic! The excitement is in the preparation, in imagining the reaction of my children, and in the knowing of memories being created. Though, [...]

Hal took Max to a doctors appointment this morning for his 4 year old check up. Bella and I stayed home to chill together. My mom left this morning without incident during her stay. I didn’t expect one, per se, its more the aftermath of her visit that concerns me. When she gets home and [...]

MIL buys these GAWD-AWFUL yogurts for Max that have crappy characters on them claiming, HE just throws these things into the cart! So funny. Why not just say, I love buying him what he wants, its part of the fun of being a grandma! Nope, that would be too much honesty. Its better to blame [...]

We are in the market for a new (to us) car. The process of looking and deciding is a mixture of fun and stress. Our price limit is $12,000.00. We can put down $4,000.00. We want the payments under $200.00/month. I think we’ll find something, eventually.
Currently, we drive a Hyundai Accent, 2002, for our “family [...]

Morning…
My friend, Katy, is coming over today with her two children who are roughly the same age as my two kids. It occurred to me this morning that having company is on the top of my list of motivators to clean the house. Its not that I fear judgment from my guests, its that I [...]
