It’s late, and it grows later as I bounce my 1 year old to sleep in her bouncer. My arm draped over the arm of the couch to gently push her chair up and down. We have all been very sick, a nasty cold. Everyone is tired, but feels too shitty to sleep. But asContinue reading “Motherhood in a nutshell”

Just a chat
In all honesty, I had a whole post written yesterday that I didn’t finish. This morning I read back the first few sentences and I scratched the whole thing. Now here we are. I’ve had too much on my mind, and I’ve put a lot on my plate, which doesn’t exactly help the mental loadContinue reading “Just a chat”
Heavy
I am floating And I am heavy. I am emotional And I am numb. The minutes take ages And a year takes minutes. Reality has been unveiled It’s true form staring me in the face… I am stuck. And I feel free. Who am I… Who will I be? Things have been rough there latelyContinue reading “Heavy”

Fun simple project
I saw a post recently of someone making an awesome memory capture with the scanning feature on a printer. It was a scan of their hand and their child’s hand. I knew I had to do it!

Netflix show review: Call the Midwife

It’s heartwarming, heartbreaking, gut wrenching, and full of love and laughter all at once. There are currently 12 seasons andContinue reading “Netflix show review: Call the Midwife”
This weather…
Welcome to my small hometown in eastern Oregon where you never know if the day will be t-shirt and sandals kind of day or a coat and snow boots one. We went from this… To this… To THIS!… And back to this today… The flakes of snow as I write this, are the size ofContinue reading “This weather…”
A letter for my daughter
My sweet baby girl, you’re only 6 months old right now (which, believe me, that 6 months flew by as if it were only days.) but I have some very important stuff to tell you. I know most children don’t want their parents advice, but I hope that you will at least try to understandContinue reading “A letter for my daughter”

Becoming a mother &how it’s changed my life
I some times think back to before I was a mother and I just can’t help but wonder who that person was. Because she feels like a stranger I met in passing. The choices she made seem like they were not of my choosing, the friends she had aren’t they company I keep now, andContinue reading “Becoming a mother &how it’s changed my life”
