Inside jokes

Today was potentially my last day working from the office before Tiny Beast gets here. She’s been head down for a while, and I’m starting to dilate. In theory, I have less than 4 weeks, but this little bear has a mind of her own. … Read More

6 months later

I look at this picture, and it still doesn’t seem real that he’s gone, or that it has been 6 months since he died. In some ways it seems like a lot longer, and some it seems like the time has flown by in the … Read More

Holy Gravy…a blog on turkey, thankfulness, my ever-growing self and caving in.

How’s THAT for a title? Impressive, right? Its been a big week, and it will continue to be a big week, so let’s recap it out! Turkey Day happened, and it was good. If you haven’t checked out my other blog, you should-I posted a … Read More

A Quick Chuckle

I have a fascination with facial hair. Men should really take more advantage of the groomy-goodness as there are so many possibilities!  I came across this site in an attempt to not get actual housework done, and thought I’d share: http://www.dyers.org/blog/beards/beard-types/ Read on, and enjoy … Read More

Damn you Olan Mills

Counting it down

10 weeks. In just over 10 weeks, Izzy will be here. It’s odd to think about. There’s still so much to do, at home and at work before she gets here. The past 29 weeks have flown by, so I can’t imagine the last few … Read More

Fall is in the air!

It’s fall here in the North West!  The air is crisp and cool and the leaves are turning. This is my favorite time of year. It’s the time of the year for sweaters, and boots and tights, warm cider, chai tea and scarves. In short, … Read More

Warfare

Someone asked recently if I was nesting from all of the prep work I have been doing for the arrival of Isabella. I can just shake my head. This isn’t nesting, that sweet, beautiful, heartfelt work that’s done to lovingly welcome your bundle of joy … Read More
