Duluth!

By On November 7, 2011 · 1 Comment
Wow I’ve been busy lately & haven’t made time to write (okay well write here…).  Anyway, we took a trip to Duluth just before Halloween & it was so wonderful to see family.  My bro-in-law was home on leave from Iraq & it was fantastic to see him.  We spent a couple days with him […]

Little Chickens & Hibachis

Editor’s note: I started writing this on Monday, October 10th.  As you can tell I didn’t get it finished then…it has taken me nearly 2 weeks to finish this post.  Enjoy the flashback. ~nil
This weekend (Oct 8 & 9) was mostly quiet though we did go out both days.  Let me back up […]

Yep, I’m Still Around

Oh my goodness! It has been a busy week around here.  Wednesday we made a trip to the clinic for Magnus who was feeling punky & out of sorts.  Sure enough he has an ear infection so we got a ‘scrip called into the pharmacy & off we went.  I decided to reward my little […]

It’s 3:36 AM

It’s 3:36 AM & I just tucked Marit into her bassinet at the foot of the bed. Magnus has his feet in my back & Abe is sleeping (a little twitchy but at least he hasn’t sleep boxed me). I know in a few minutes Abe will sleepily turn over to scoop Magnus closer.  Seeing […]

Big Brother Days

By On September 17, 2011 · 1 Comment

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 […]

Marit Abelin: A Birth Story

By On September 15, 2011 · 2 Comments

Back in January I was feeling tired & just not quite myself.  After talking to Abe I decided to take a home pregnancy test…  Much to our surprise the test was positive.  I was 6 months post-partum with Magnus; I was nursing & another pregnancy was definitely NOT in the plan.  However, like most of [...]

And Then There Were Two

By On September 6, 2011 · 1 Comment
My last post was rather short & left my readers hanging.  Well, I am home after five days in the hospital and I brought a tiny little girl with me.  She had to be delivered via c-section on Thursday September 1, 2011.  She arrived five weeks early and we are so blessed that she is […]

I’ve Got Kids…Now What?!

By On August 24, 2011 · 2 Comments

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 […]

You Want Kids?

By On August 21, 2011 · 2 Comments

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 […]

Seriously Gross

First a warning: if you are not a parent, don’t wish to be a parent, or just generally don’t like children this post is NOT for you.  This post will contain graphic language & description of what can only be described as the single most disgusting moment of my life.


As you may […]
