One thing I love about Ethan is that he calls me pretty during some of my most flustered, frizzy-haired, strawberry-stains-on-my-shirt moments. Today when he got home from work (which is at lunch time these days) he said “Hi, cute lady.” I guess my look told him I didn’t feel too cute because he asked me [...]
I think I should fill you in on some of Carver’s new talents. He now tries to feed himself with a spoon. Although the other parent in this household cringes at the mess, I think its pretty funny and I’m excited he’s taking steps toward more independent eating. Another step he took toward independent nutrition [...]

The combo of the food/coffee/laughing at this mug perked me up just enough out of my tired, exasperated-ness to feel like some Friday blogging. The reason [...]

10:30 AM- Carver wakes up early from his nap and we get to spend some one-on-one time together.
11:30 AM- Lunch time, the most stressful time of my day. Kennon shrieks while I try to feed [...]
Eight hours of sleep helped me survive (and enjoy) the first day of my new job, watching my friend’s son, Kennon. He is a couple months older than Carver and the differences are enormous (seven pounds, to be exact). Also, Kennon is cruising around and has shown me exactly how to baby-proof the apartment for [...]
I am a proud wife and mother. My husband, Ethan and I welcomed little Carver into our lives January, 2009. I love the outdoors, crafts, finding good deals, cooking and of course, my family. I hope you enjoy the projects, photos and stories of my daily life. I will try to bring you something new everyday!
