birdie: well we didn't get to build a snowman but she did think the falling snow was pretty cool! teddy: birdie picked this onesie out for him and though he barely fits in it any longer he sure does look pretty cute!! ...
I have been pretty open about my breastfeeding journey with Birdie here. Two years ago I shared about my genuine desire to have that amazing experience that all the books talk about and you hear about from women who get all misty eyed when describing the feeling they get from feeding their child. I got none of that. I wanted so badly to...
birdie: after years of spending most of my days with mute creatures (my daughter and dog) I had the most wonderful moment this week when I realized that I now have a friend with me during the day. Birdie and I have conversations, I can ask her to do things, she'll tell me stories or what she wants for lunch and it has...
hat - old navy, trench - asos, top, jeans and shoes - gap Papa bear has had two snow days so far this week and let me tell you it has been outstanding to have him here with us. We soaked up every minute and were all very sad to see him head back to work today. But honestly how can we even...
It has now been over six months that we have been in this house and I think we can finally call it a "home." The smells, sights and sounds are familiar now and there's a palpable feeling of "we're home" anytime that we return to it after being away. It's not a perfect home (my heart still dreams of a gleaming white kitchen)...
birdie: we have been celebrating all week because this little pig tailed beauty is potty trained!! we still do diapers for nighttime and naps but during the day she wears her "pincess panees" and we couldn't be more proud! we sure have gone through a lot of m&m's :). teddy: this week it really hit me that he's not a newborn anymore and...
birdie: coloring for daysssss. I found these darling chairs for her and now we just need to get a table. I have a feeling she'll be spending a lot of time there. also those are "erasable" colored pencils that we are trying for the first time, has anyone had any luck getting them off of things? teddy: our little boy is four months...
I recently read this article by Ann Bauer on truth-telling in the writing business and it reminded me of something that's been on my mind for awhile now. It reminded me of a time not too long ago when I think the last remaining shreds of my childhood idealism and fantasy were burned forever, in a good way. Just go along with me...
A few weeks ago we were having breakfast at what has become one of our favorite cafe's in Atlanta, Julianna's Crepes, when I stepped outside with Birdie to let her get some of her energy out. Once outside we discovered a beautiful dog sitting by one of the tables waiting for it's owners. Birdie yelled out "big doggie!!" and ran straight for the...
sweater - j.crew, tank - target, jeans - gap, shoes - converse I drink so much coffee lately it's kind of frightening. I didn't even use to like iced coffee but I'll pretty much drink anything that's caffeinated at this point. I feel like you can handle about three months of poor sleep but by the time you hit the fourth month your...
