When I was in middle school my family lived in Wisconsin. We lived in a tiny town way up north that was known for skiing and friday night fish fry's. Our neighborhood was backed by a lake and in the summer my brother and I would go fishing for bluegills that my mother would then cook for dinner. It was a quiet, delightful...
teddy: he is for sure the happiest and funniest member of this family. I don't know how we ever lived without him! birdie: this is her "nice-n-tuckin" pose. It's one of her quintessential phrases :) ...
I've been hearing people say for a while now "Oh I was just reminded that my children are always watching me. I must be better, sit up straight, be more careful..." or essentially strive for perfection. Kindness, endless joy and happiness, calmness and collectedness and a boundless can-do attitude.

birdie: dancing and always asking for a song teddy: he's "playing" more and it's done wonders for his relationship with Birdie as she finds him infinitely more interesting now. Makes my mama heart melt. ...
THINKING ABOUT: Last thursday night I breastfed my sweet baby boy for the last time. He's mostly eating solids now and taking a bottle a handful of times a day and taking into the consideration his issues with dairy and my other health issues I decided it was time.

Above is the only photo I have from my...
I have been loving all the recipes I've discovered through the Love & Lemons blog. Considering what they attempt to do (replicate the taste of dairy) the recipes are quite simple and easy to execute. I made this mac and cheese for us this weekend and it was a huge hit!! â–ª1 big head of cauliflower (4 loose cups, chopped, plus extra small...
Lately I've noticed myself retreating from social media a bit. I haven't been as active or engaged, at least on the outside. However, in my mind I suppose you could say I've been more active than ever in the sense that I've been thinking about it a lot. I feel like this year saw a seismic shift happen when it came to blogging...
birdie: every morning after she gets dressed she asks me for "two ponees peas mama." teddy: this big boy is finally sleeping through the night and sitting up all by himself!! Yay! ...
