"I should be in therapy"
Nothing compares to having kids. They are both the joy & bane of any parents’ existence. Their antics can amuse or frustrate (often times both). There’s all kinds of blogs, books, seminars & advice on how to raise your children. I’m not even going to pretend I have any answers. In the game of being […]
I can’t think of a clever opening for this post today. I’m tired & feeling a bit sad. Most of that comes from lack of sleep & pregnancy hormones running rampant. I’m also feeling like a great blue whale & I probably look like some sort of crazy hippo. I’ve never been confident in my […]
Continue Reading → This has been a busy week for me…I actually left the house twice! The first trip into town was to a gourmet grocery store & I will post on that soon. The other trip was a couple days later for a Target run. Both trips were productive but driving into my yard was a relief. […]
Continue Reading → Since it is de riguer to do a retrospective post I could hardly swim against the current (I don’t swim with the current either…I prefer the beach) so here’s my recap.
The year of 2010 was one of huge changes for me. First we moved from our home near Duluth, MN to a town near […]
It’s no secret that I’ve been struggling with depression for over a year. After the birth of my amazing little boy it got a whole lot worse. With the addition of post-partum it has been a new & often horrible experience. I recognized fairly quickly that I was going to need help dealing with the […]

I’m so tired. I don’t feel like I’m really functioning lately…more like going through the motions. It is terribly frustrating as Magnus is starting to really sleep at night with few wake-up times. Usually he sleeps 4-6 hours the first time he goes down. So wonderful for both of us as he still isn’t a […]
Continue Reading → The other night Magnus was sleeping early so Abe & I were snuggling; enjoying the quiet time together. After a few minutes of silence I asked what he was thinking about. “Nothing much, just you”, he replied. I laughed; it figures that is the answer I would get. Abe isn’t big on sharing what goes […]
Continue Reading → It has been just over six weeks since Magnus was born. He was just a little peanut when he came home…and while he has grown he is still a little peanut. We are blessed that he is healthy & so aware. He loves to be held where he can look around. There are times where […]
Continue Reading → Right now Magnus is sleeping in his swing, the dogs are sleeping around the house & my mind is a mess. I’m beyond tired, I need a shower, I’m nearly out of clean clothes to wear, my house is a disaster again & Abe is gone until Tuesday night. At least Magnus seems to be […]
