Mïrka’s Borscht*
Follow my blog with Bloglovin If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you’ll know that I was feeling a little “Polish” on the weekend. I had cravings for some very specific foods, and was overwhelmed with the desire to make it myself. It’s not my fault, really. Last spring my coworkers introduced me to the best Polish perogies I have ever eaten in my life. No really. The best ever. I haven’t really been able to stop thinking about them. And then, on our last trip up north, Spart took me to this amazing little Polish deli. It was home to all kinds of deliciousness, but she bought a…

Feeling Inspired*
I had a conversation with a new friend at work today, and it has left me feeling so… inspired. She teaches full time and has two small children, and she also runs a really neat side business making clever baby products. I mean–seriously?? I find it hard to find the time to devote 30 minutes to write here some days, and yet I know some incredible women who somehow find the time to run these creative businesses from their homes. And I think it’s awesome. While I love the idea of actually creating something tangible, I know that my creative outlet is writing. While I’m sure I could learn the…

A Little Funny For You*
As you know, for the last two weeks I’ve been spending much less time on Facebook. I’m happy to report that I actually don’t find that I miss it all that much. I’m not off it completely–I still check my own profile page and occasionally see what’s at the top of the newsfeed when I’m clicking past, but I no longer dwell there. And I actually find that I feel much better. I find that I’m comparing myself and my life to others much less, and I’m really happy about that. For me, the biggest help letting go was deleting the Facebook application off my phone. I didn’t really realize…

Call The Midwife*
I think I could have lived quite happily in the 1950s. As I progress further with this pregnancy, I find that I’m completely worn out after we get Ruby settled and into bed. So, I’ve been trying to put my feet up a little, and have spent the last few evenings curled up on the couch watching “Call the Midwife”. My mom has been trying to get me to watch this show for ages, but for whatever reason I just kept dragging my heels. I knew very little about it, and in my head I assumed it would be some kind of trashy show like “Sixteen and Pregnant” (though the…

Silly Bean*
My wee bean is a little bit silly. We’ve been cooped up in the house these past few days while she recovers from her ear infection, and I had my mandated “day of rest” yesterday. I had hoped to make it out on some kind of adventure today, but we had another long, long night last night and Ruby and I were both a little tired. Most days, Ruby still naps twice. She is usually up fairly early, then will have short nap in the morning, followed by a longer one in the afternoon. Occasionally, however, she will sleep the whole morning away and then refuse to touch her bed…
