The Baby Shower*
Well, my blog seems to be fixed for everyone but me. We’re still digging around trying to solve the problems, but for now I’m just going to write here… again. It’s almost midnight, but I just got home and wanted to write a little something before I crash. I went to a baby shower for two friends who are due on the exact same day tonight. It was very laid back, the food was delicious so naturally I ate too much (and regret nothing) and the company was wonderful. (I did break my sugar fast and had a piece of cake with everyone. It was magical.) For most of the…

I’m a Proud Mama*
We go to church on Sundays. I almost feel like that’s almost a “taboo” thing these days and am sometimes shy to tell people we do for fear of being judged for it. Even as I wrote that sentence out I felt silly for writing it, but there it is. I know it’s maybe not the most common thing anymore, but our family goes to church every week. I promise we’re still normal and like to do regular things… we just also like to go to church. Church comes with prayer, and in our home we (try to) give thanks and bless the food before each meal, and the kids…

One little, two little, three little dairy free*
Am I writing too much? Is that a thing? M came to sit with me for a bit last night while I was trying to cobble my post together through my exhaustion. He laughed and told me I’m writing so often he can’t even keep up, which feels like a weird problem for me to have after not really writing at all for so many years. Sometimes I feel like I just come here and ramble. Is it better to let an idea simmer for a few days before writing, or write off the cuff and get it out while it’s fresh? Has posting every day been too much? I…

My Rainbow Season*
I’ve been sitting here staring at my screen for the last 10 minutes wondering what to write about tonight. Well, that’s not entirely true. I may or may not have had a Facebook scrolling session somewhere in the middle of that. But mostly staring, wondering and not knowing. I feel almost blank tonight. Not in a bad way, just in that it was a bit of a lovely, unremarkable day. I took the kids to school, wandered around the grocery store, cleaned a bathroom and made sloppy joes for dinner. Tonight I blitzed my house so we can pretend that it’s sort of clean all the time when my friend…

Walking in a Winter Wonderland*
I stayed up way too late last night. M was out, so I had the kids for dinner and bedtime. I never really feel like cooking when he’s not home, so the kids and I grabbed dinner on the way home from school and decided to put the Christmas tree up! We rearranged the furniture, blared Christmas music, got fake pine needles everywhere, prevented P from pulling it over multiple times and played in the box. I decided to leave it up with only lights for now, just until some of the excitement wears off. …which is probably wishful thinking on my part. P is the ultimate Christmas tree take…
