Yesterday was a wonderful day! We went to breakfast, and then the library with Ecca… then went and bought her first pair of shoes! Very exciting. Then when we sang her bedtime song the most amazing thing happened. We always end the song with “goodnight” and then immediately each of us gives her a kiss. read more

Hello from my new website, friends! We’re now hosted on wordpress instead of bearblog, and I’m super excited about it. The site content is still very much the same as before, but with so much more functionality and adaptability. I have a search bar! I have a tag cloud! You can leave comments! 🤩 I read more

A directory of the people in my life who I refer to the most, their nicknames, and what my relationship to them is. Some of these I only refer to by nicknames to respect privacy. My siblings and family don’t really get that privilege, but Nate’s family does, lol. Lmk if there’s a name you read more

I am currently writing from the comforts of the in-laws’ house. Today was a crazy flurry of activity; I packed for this trip, which takes a lot of work cuz baby, but then I also vacuumed and mopped the entire bottom two levels of the house so we’d come back to somewhere clean. That included read more

Nate asked if I wanted him to remind me about my blog earlier. I said no thanks, but did take it as a hint that he’s eager to read more content, lol. A good reminder in itself. It’s been a good couple days. Erica’s been eating a lot of food and practicing walking with us read more

Bro the pants I bought today. They’re fire. Pin stripes and wide fit? Yes please. Also probably the highlight of my day, besides miss e. We did go to the in laws, and Zaide said a few words to her and grinned at her, so that was nice too. I did some granny squares. We read more

This has been a really tough month. I’ve been in a pretty deep depressive episode for a few weeks now; not sure if it’s meds related or just cuz things are pretty tough right now. Or both, I guess. It’s made me struggle to be productive and complete daily quests, but there’s still stuff to read more

Yesterday was mother’s day, but we decided we would use the day to celebrate Shoshana and I’d get my day next weekend. So we went over to the in laws house and Nate made pancakes and eggs. Then Critter crashed the party, came in bearing a plastic floral crown full of their hairs for me read more

Day one of staying at Zaide and Shoshana’s has begun. Only gonna be a couple days this time, but I’m hoping I can get the bones of some sort of routine for when we stay longer later. We’ll see.Not much happening so far today. Got some coffee, dropped off an Amazon return at staples. I read more

Hanging out at the in laws’ today. I was too busy doing chores to post yesterday. Didn’t even game all day, it’s practically a miracle. We watched Gerald’s Game after Erica went to bed, though. It was truly excellent, but I definitely would not have been able to watch it if I hadn’t already read read more

The post name has a double meaning – I’ve been missing from here for a while because my family has been visiting, and now I am missing them because they’re gone. We had a wonderful week, and Erica’s birthday was happily celebrated on Friday with a delicious cake my mom worked on for two days. read more

Fam let us leave the baby with them so we could have a date. It was wonderful. migrate update: I should’ve mentioned in the original post that one of the reasons this fit is so fly is the blazer I’m wearing. It belonged to my grandmother-in-law, and is still in pristine condition. It’s really fun read more

Last night Erica wanted to chew her book and I wouldn’t let her, and the look she gave me was vividly and specifically indignant, not just formlessly frustrated. She looked at me like “Mom! How dare you?! Let me chew!” It was wild. She’s a little human with little human emotions. How wondrous. Zaide is read more

Full disclosure, it’s not 3/30 yet. I wonder if I’ll post on the right day. Wanted to get some things written down before they left my mind. Thank goodness for saving drafts. My neighbors are screaming while my child is asleep. I’m unreasonably mad about it. She’s been sleeping weirdly, having late naps, resisting them read more
-
I missed yesterday, whoops. We were having a family day at the in laws. Zaide’s sister and brother in law were visiting. We all had entirely too much bread with Shabbos lunch and then chocolate cake for dessert… I’m hoping to get the recipe for that one. Erica took only one nap yesterday so we read more
-
Hangin out at the in laws. Zaide got some imaging done recently, so we’ll hear results from that hopefully next week. Erica slept through the night, so Nate and I got tons of sleep. I’m not crafting, today – I’m working on my book notes and planning. I need to sit down with my book read more
-
Happy Monday, fam. I don’t particularly want to get into the habit of posting monthlies in the middle of the month, but I’ve put it off too long at this point. I reckon it’s time to try catching people up. So uh. I think the format I’m gonna try to use is something where I read more
-
I missed a couple days. It’s been a crazy time. Had some unexpected chat time with a couple friends, and then one of them suffered a terrible loss almost immediately afterward. Still hurting for her. Hug your animal friends, yall. Had Zaide Dovid’s brother in town, and while I didn’t interact with him much, there read more
-
Ahzig and Dad and chat GPT helped me set up Prev/Next buttons! Woo! Got some metadata fixed as well. Nate is home and doin aight. Zaide’s appointments went fine. I can’t decide if I will write stuff for blog or do calligraphy while Nate is watching miss E. Hm. *this was written when I was read more
-
Nate is at a neuro-oncologist appointment with his parents for Zaide Dovid, so it’s a me and E morning so far. She’s been her usual cheery self. Fed her some banana and a puree pouch. Those things are fire. I’m feeling self conscious about my weight recently. Thought I’d share my insecurity for relatability, cuz read more
-
Tried to do some gaming with the sib today, but got fooled by the game… Dark pictures anthology friends passes are all expired, btw 💀 but we hung out on discord anyway. Weird sleep day for Erica. Four naps for the first time in a long time. Hopefully tonight will be ok. We got some read more
-
It’s Valentine’s Day, which means it’s my 4th anniversary as Nate’s wife! We braved the cold (very, today) and went to breakfast to celebrate. I got an eggs benedict dish that they put on this amazing layered cheese and filo dough pastry instead of an English muffin. Hollandaise has just the right amount of spice, read more
-
Not much to report so far today. I’m stupid tired. Zaide and Grandma seem all right. Haven’t had the energy to craft anything – I’ve just napped and munched on unhealthy food. Zaide is watching a prison football movie (I guess cuz Superbowl weekend?) and Nate’s helping clean here and there. I shouldn’t nap anymore. read more

07 Feb, 2025 Erica had her 10mo development assessment with the alliance for infants and toddlers today and did very well! It’s a relief that she’s testing beyond her age, even if it’s only a couple weeks beyond. It would have been completely normal for her to score five weeks behind because of her prematurity. read more
