Nesting. Sleeping. Crying. Urgency. Anxiousness. Peace. Excitement. Anticipation. Preparation. Busy. Accomplished. Tired. Tired. Awake. Full. Complete. The third trimester of pregnancy is intense and magical all at once. Your baby has grown to fill you up, and just when you think they can’t grow any more, they do. A big stretch reaches from ribs to [...]
Confession: I only take care of myself when I have to. Better said, I only take care of myself when someone else is at stake. If I have to be functional, or if I am carrying around a mini me, or if I’m currently a 24-hour diner. Even when I have a nurseling still but [...]
Time is a strange thing. Sometimes life feels so weird. Things like…chewing food to a mush and swallowing it…laying horizontally and “powering down” every night…growing a person in a fluid filled chamber inside of you…they just feel foreign and bizarre sometimes. I hope I didn’t just scare half of you off. Surely I’m not so [...]
Despite what the scale (interpreted by my warped sense of body image) says, now is not the time to cut calories. I know, I know. I’m working on it, okay? But I’m starting to feel like I’m getting into our new “normal,” so I’m ready for my body to catch up. Right. While I thought [...]
The boys were so ridiculously excited to play in last week’s crazy snow. I know I’ve called it that a few times. I’ve not forgotten where my thesaurus is; that is just its name. In 24 hours, an area that usually gets 3-6 inches of snow per year got 18-24, depending on where you were. [...]
Man, I feel like we’ve been sick for the past two months (Yeah, MoxiBean is two months old already!). Mini-cold right after she was born, a few weeks of a break, then we all got hit hard and were down for a few weeks. Not lay-in-bed-moaning sick…more like can’t-get-out-of-obligations-but-we’re-miserable sick. I’ve squirted so much milk [...]
I’d intended to write this while dinner cooked, but apparently it was a very fast meal. Now, I’ve got grilled cheese just about cooked, Amy’s Tomato Bisque Soup about to start bubbling, and the baby’s cuddle time with daddy is just about up, as my expanding chest tells me. The moments don’t last long. That’s [...]
We’ve moved! This post fit better over at MamaTashov. Don’t worry, it’s all still there Enjoy!
Somehow, this missed my radar a few months ago. There are two types of Muesli in this cookbook. One for summer and one for winter. Honestly, I am glad this is a blog and not a show or podcast, cos I am pretty sure I don’t know how to pronounce Muesli. Technically, I’m not even [...]
Meal planning solidifies my return to reality. That’s probably why this post wasn’t written yesterday and has sat open on my browser all morning. As good as it felt to have real food without dishes to return (sorry, guys! I’ll get them back to you eventually!), it feels better to not have to think about [...]
