Magnus is a big brother now. It came five weeks early & I certainly wasn’t ready for him to be a big boy yet. I’ve been feeling a little guilty about it in fact. Going into the hospital like I did left him suddenly without Mom. It was hard on me so I imagine it […]
The other night I was chatting on Twitter with a couple friends & we were discussing having kids. It started out being a silly discussion on how I should just let my kids run free range (no diapers) so that I could spend my money on ice cream instead. One of the ladies said, “I […]
Magnus has been battling bug after bug this is month. We have been out and about a lot since the July 4th weekend & he has paid the price.
First we got the pleasure of rotavirus. Nothing like a week for the nastiest, poopiest diapers to make me wish I could let Magnus run bare […]
I have a lot in my head but it is hard to put to the page. This month is flying by in many ways though some days seem to drag.
The heat has been record setting and there is no end in sight. Normally I don’t mind the heat & humidity of our summers […]
This post is a little late but I have had a sick baby and other things going on. Thankfully Magnus is starting to feel better and sleep at night again.
Memorial weekend was fairly uneventful. We celebrated a nephew’s first birthday on Saturday. Magnus was too fussy to stay very long. Sunday we rented a […]

I was catching up on some blog reading this morning & ran across one where my friend Willa was talking about a close friend of hers that will soon be giving birth to a fourth child. (Read it here) It is a touching look at how women share moments of great import & […]
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 → I have a deep love of books & as a self-described English geek I take pride in my love of much classic literature. I remember vividly the first time I read Shakespeare’s plays & the first time I fell under the spell of Scarlett O’Hara & her beloved Tara. I was 10 maybe 11 years old [...]
