Anneliese turned 8 months old yesterday. Sometimes, life as an 8-month-old is tough. Last month, I mentioned that she was trying to crawl. She would reach as faaaaaar as she could with her hands, leaning forward from a sitting position, and twist one leg so that she could get up on one knee… but the…
Today was a gorgeous day outside. The temperature was perfect. I got to wear capris and a sleeveless top, with a light hoodie that I took off as the day got warmer. Anneliese got to play in the grass and clovers. But she wasn’t really feeling it… which I’m 98% sure is because she’s teething…
Flipping amazing, you guys. Last night, Anneliese woke at 3am. She was just making fussy sounds and then putting her head back down, not crying. So I watched her on the monitor. About 40 minutes later, she was asleep again, on her own. No crying, just fussing. She woke again at about 5:30 because she…
This is a photo of my daughter actually asleep right now. Well, like a minute ago. It’s totally dark in her room and I couldn’t see through the viewfinder, and wasn’t using a tripod, but here she is… I like that it’s kind of dreamy looking. Because she’s asleep. And probably dreaming. I wrote a…
This is a sponsored post from BlogHer and Tropicana. You’ve heard about “waking up on the wrong side of the bed,” right? Some days, that happens. But often, you can get out of that morning funk if you make a conscious effort to start the day off with GOOD. Here are some little things I…
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LÄRABAR. All opinions are 100% mine. I am so so so lucky, y’all. Crystal at Social Spark emailed me to ask if I’d like to taste some Larabars and write about them. I don’t know if you know, but in the primal/paleo community, EVERYONE…
This post brought to you by Pier 1. All opinions are 100% mine. I’m just curious… what does your outdoor décor look like? At this point, we just have a table and 2 chairs in the back yard, which are nice if my husband and I just want to sit out there together or have…
This post brought to you by Victor Pest. All opinions are 100% mine. So the other day, Anthony from Social Spark emailed me to ask if I’d like to write about some high-tech rodent deterrents and traps (electronic – no chemicals!). I am not making this up. Earlier that day, I was hanging out in…
About 6 weeks ago, I wrote about our start to Elimination Communication. Since then, we had a little break because I was focusing more on sleep stuff, then decided to pick it back up. There are no hard and fast rules to EC. You can be as laid-back or as committed as you want. I’m…
I’m going to make this a quick one, because I’m very sleepy. Last month, we were in the throes of teething, but a bit after Anneliese turned 6 months old, those two bottom teeth popped through her gums. After a few more days of pain, she seemed much more comfortable. And sharp. Seriously, don’t put…
