It was Erica’s first time out in snow today! She had a bunch of fun, big ole grin. It helps that she’s already been in love with her new snow boots… We let her wear them off and on the last few days to get used to walking in em. We built her a snowman read more

Holy shit, y’all. So it’s been like two months since I last posted a single thing. I’ve been all over the place. I’m pretty sure I’ve missed too much to really catch up the way I’d like to, but we’re gonna try to hit the highlights. Most of those have to do with Erica, obviously. read more

I finally had a burst of energy today and got a bunch of chores done that I’d been putting off since I got back home. There are still a few more to do (always) but it’s a relief. I’m tired af tho. Doing all those chores rapid fire is exhausting, I literally worked up a read more

Started the day off real well, took Erica to the library. We were gonna attend toddler storytime, but she had so much fun wandering around and was so restless during the reading that we skipped out and let her keep exploring. She walked all over the kids section and the outside section, and got to read more

I’ve been telling myself for like… weeks now? That I need to write a damn blog post. It’s been way too long. I always struggle to get started with these, and that’s true now as well, but it’s a little worse than usual because it’s been such a weird stretch of time. I suppose the read more

Getting pretty close to having more baby proof spaces for Erica now that she’s pretty much walking. It’ll be nice to let her roam more. Had a nice day so far. Went out for breakfast, which was great, then we walked to a garage sale nearby. I got a lovely watch necklace that I’m hoping read more

There is nothing quite so precious as witnessing my child’s love for me. This morning I was very tired, cuz miss E woke me up three times last night. I laid down on the floor in her playroom with a blanket and just narrated what she was playing with to her, which I often do read more

Well, I got my period. So that’s one worry soothed – we’ll be able to start trying for baby two when we want to. And I got home today! Nate and the pupper will be back later tonight. But also holy shit periods suck -_- read more

Today, Mom and Evan drove back home. Nate went to the office, so for the first time in weeks, it was just myself and my daughter in a quiet house. For a bit, I felt as empty as the space, but it was good. I’ve been so full of anxiety and planning and rushing around. read more

Blog is neglected but not abandoned. Hopefully never abandoned. I think technically it’s about time for a monthly update, but I’m not ready for that yet. Not sure how I’ll write about this month. The line between being open and sharing too much that isn’t mine gets kinda blurry sometimes. And some things aren’t super read more

Bought shelf inserts for our minis cuz they were living in shoebox monstrosities. Got em delivered from ikea, put em together, go to stick em in the shelves, and they don’t fuckin fit. It’s only at that moment I remember Nate told me that particular shelf is not actually a kallax, it’s some alternative. So read more

I have been awake for one hour and in that time all I have done is clean poop. My child had an enormous blowout. Bath very required. Poo sheet and onesie are soaking in oxiclean. Now I can have coffee. I’m drinking caffeine again, as of yesterday. It had been over two weeks and I read more

Still slogging through some crazy ups and downs. I missed online game night for a third week in a row. I did a lot of obsessive cleaning yesterday. Today was better. No creativity, but I bought some self care stuff? And we walked. I’m counting it as a win. Also, for any of you considering read more

Been a couple days. Mama bought herself a new gaming handheld. Got the asus ROG ally. Oblivion is very pretty on it. I’ve also been actually busy too though, I swear. On Tuesday (today is Friday) I went to a concert with Dyno. Was a combo of Primus/Puscifer/A Perfect Circle, and it was amazing. Dyno read more

Going back later today. Things went pretty smoothly here, considering, but I miss my kitties. And Erica’s toys, sort of. She did pretty damn well with the few she has here, though. Living in this home, even for a couple of days, has been kind of surreal. This place is massive and feels so sturdy. read more

We have three variants of daffodil in our flower garden read more

We ended the day yesterday with a walk in the early evening and then just chilling and keeping the girl awake til bedtime. I used food. It was p effective. I got some really lovely feedback for the posts on my first email list so that was pleasant, even if expected because it’s all family. read more

It’s unseasonably warm so I have windows open and it is so good for my mental health oh my god. Looking forward to a walk with Nate and Erica when Nate gets off work. Losing an hour fucking sucks, but the later sunset is amazing. One of the things I forgot to mention but want read more

Gotta get back into the swing of things! Ahzig, Nersch, and mama came to visit and since ahzig is my only super regular reader rn and my family is distracting, I stopped writing. We had a lovely week. Went out for dinner, tried mooncakes for the first time, played some games together. They watched E read more

I cleaned the car and then it started raining lol I have had a really difficult time emotionally today/tonight, for no apparent reason. Depression go brrrr. No, I did not forget my meds, lol. It just be like that sometimes. Nate made me my evening cuppa decaf and took care of Erica so I could read more

Finished out the day by making the guest bedroom more livable and organized (can you tell we like the Ikea kallax?) and then spent the last two hours on calligraphy. I’m struggling lately with feeling as if the time I’ve put in practicing isn’t reflected in the quality of work I put out. Obviously I’ve read more

I have stayed up far too late doing a Minecraft speedrun with old online friends. We beat the ender dragon, but Nick blew up one of my axolotls, so idk if I’d call it a win. To close the night, I noticed that the towels my family used to dry after showering when they visited read more
