I haven’t been on the computer much, but I always have my phone with me, which is a huge help in making me feel connected to other adults even if I don’t see another soul besides Anneliese all day. Between facebook, twitter, and now Instagram, I really feel like part of a larger community, and…
My friend’s daughter passed away yesterday, on her mother’s chest after multiple organ failures and not responding to medicines. I can’t begin to imagine the grief her family is feeling right now. Our friend Bree made this gorgeous video in memory of Leila.
Today, Anneliese turned 6 months old. The last month has been an explosion of development. Last month, she was just beginning to figure out how to use her hands more precisely. This month, she’s a pro at it. Everything is going into her mouth. She loves exploring different textures. Anneliese is now rolling fluidly in…
It’s still January, so I figure I’m still allowed to do “year end wrap-up” type posts and “new year goal setting” posts. We’ll start with the former. 2010 was a pivotal year in a lot of ways. I was pregnant for more than half of the year, became a mother, learned that my family would…
Mostly. If you’ve been following my facebook page or my twitter, you know that I’ve been trying like crazy to get our internet connection set up. First, our modem got shipped from Texas to Pennsylvania. Yeah, we live in California. Last Tuesday our DSL was “activated” but we had no modem, so I called to…
This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Olay. As you know, my husband is in the Navy and we have moved a lot. A LOT. And we’re moving again in January (not far, just to base, but still…), this move will be our 5th move in 4 years. And I’ve learned a few things about…
I got sucked in to online Christmas shopping… most of my shopping has been online this year. In fact, I’m not sure if I bought one gift “in person” thus far… hmmm… other than stocking stuffers. So I was browsing around tonight and found some incredible deals. A few made their way into my shopping…
This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Olay. Since I’ve had a baby, my time for myself has been a bit hijacked. My “routine” is a bit un-routine, since I have to play each day (each hour, each minute) by ear. Here’s how it generally goes: Daily, no matter what: Brush my teeth, morning and…
Today, Anneliese turned four months old. It’s amazing how time moves so quickly! It seems like just last week, she was this floppy newborn, but now she’s a whole separate person! She can even stand up if we balance her. She’s got sturdy little legs for sure. Not floppy anymore. She gives the sweetest expressions,…
Yesterday we got to spend Thanksgiving with some sweet friends of ours – Paige and Greg, Paige’s parents and grandmother, and a couple other aviators. It was low-key and relaxing, and we all just hung out and chatted and ate good food. It’s really comforting to have good friends nearby when we’re so far from…
Anneliese wants to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. How did you spend yours?
I’ve been trying and trying to write up this recipe… but my mind is blank. So sorry, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see how I made this: Also? It was goooood. While my mind is (mostly) blank, I’m totally completely stuck on the fact that November is almost over. 2010 is almost over….
