Holla’ if you love Mr. Rogers!! I can still sing, “There are many ways to say I love you.” Today I understand that song! Here are the ways I’ve recently been told someone loves me:

1. Aaron is cleaning the kitchen. (If you’ve seen my kitchen in the last week, you’ll know what an epic task this is!)

2. Lilah rests … Keep reading »

The funny thing about babies is that they change size. Lilah can go from looking teensy to me to looking huge so fast! When I hold up her clothes I think, oh she’s so small! Then when I look at pictures from last week  I think, you’ve grown so much- you’re huge! When I hold her and she’s napping … Keep reading »

Poor Lilah. What a rough night.

She’s started liking being naked and loves taking a bath. We’ve started bathing her every night because it is calming, and because she usually barfs enough during the day to warrant it. Last night our rhythm was off and she was naked for several minutes before getting in the tub. The whole time … Keep reading »

I love being a mom. I really really really love being a mom. Didn’t think I’d love it this much, but I do. It’s incredible!

Things I would … Keep reading »

Seems appropriate, don’t you think?

Actually, we’ve been talking a lot lately about all we have to be grateful for. I’m grateful now to have a publishing platform for it! This list isn’t complete… there’s not room on the internet for all we are grateful for. But these are the high-lights.

1. We’re grateful for each other. Cheesy, we know. But … Keep reading »

-And I’m not going to feel guilty. So there.

1. I’m not going to get out of bed early. Or even on time. (check!)

2. I’m not going to eat cereal for breakfast. Or yogurt. Or a cheese stick on my way to the car. (check!)

3. I’m not going to be productive before 10:00am.

4. I’m not going to hurry anywhere.

Round One: I made a crust using Betty’s recipe. Then put it in the fridge to cool while I peeled and cut apples. Looked good to … Keep reading »
