Grandma wanted to watch dirty dancing with me n Nate so we did. I had never seen it. Nate and I freaked out when we realized that’s where ‘nobody puts baby in a corner’ came from. The only other swayze movie I’ve seen was “to Wong foo, thanks for everything! Julie newmar.” It was better.… read more

We toured one today. That shit was scary. What do you even look for? We were there for like 20min. The facility looks fine. But does that really give an idea of how things work? I’m just scared to let go of control. So scared. My baby is amazing. Am I gonna get frustrated with… read more

It’s been an enormous weekend. Friday we sold our house. It went smoothly and now it’s done, and however sadly I might feel about parts of it, it was indeed good to get it off our backs. We celebrated with pizza too, so that’s always a win. Saturday, we finally met up with a family… read more

Today my 2.5yo asked me to beatbox for her (they do some in Ms Rachel videos it’s not that weird a request believe it or not) I said Mommy is not good at beatboxing but I will try I did some bootsncats bullshit and she seemed unimpressed and mildly confused so I got embarrassed and… read more

Mama monstera is in her new digs, and we managed to separate the baby offshoot too. I named the baby Lucille. We did it back on uhhh.. Sunday? Three days ago? And they’re looking good. I don’t think either is suffering from the trauma of the move. We were really careful with the roots. We… read more

What a lovely day. We went out for breakfast, just the four of us, for the first time since James was born. We’d gone out with my dad assisting before, but never just us. It was so good to be out as a family, and to get outta the house in general, lol. I’ve been… read more

I got half the squares for Jamie’s blanket connected two days ago and then didn’t make a post 😞 so now I’ve got basically three more rows to connect and the whole blanket will technically be attached. I still have to join all the perpendicular rows after that and do a border, but we’re coming… read more

There is something singularly distressing about that first nose blow after hard work in a yard full of dusty dirt. I got a lot done! The grass and weeds are cleared all the way around the garden, except for the part full of Critter’s plants and weeds that they said they wanted to take sometime… read more

Erica only peed her shorts twice today I think. She did a lot of screaming. Nate came home from work early (it was a special occasion so he went into the office) and it saved my day. She did do a lot of cooking with us in her lil tower, and that is very fun… read more

A nice day today! Erica played with sidewalk chalk for the first time. She’d been sick for a couple days so it was nice to get her outside. She’s doing well now. She watched a ton of Ms Rachel for the first time while she was sick. Ms Rachel is hella annoying for me but… read more

Ok I haven’t made much progress on James’s blanket, but I’m keeping busy. Still tryna figure out this mom of two thing. Today James had a hip ultrasound because he was breech – everything looks good. I also did a bunch of weeding in the back patio garden thanks to Nate pulling double duty with… read more

I took Erica’s flashlight because she shined it directly on her eye So she screamed and hit Jamie in the head three times before I could catch her hand So we left her alone in her playroom So she is screaming a lot And all I can think is I’m lucky she hasn’t decided to… read more

I keep putting off posting because I feel like my next post “should be” a monthly but now I haven’t posted in months and that is dumb. I’m experiencing overwhelming emotions that I really want to articulate and share, about how my kid is a kid now. She has been roughly the same size for… read more
