Yesterday was Cody’s and my 11th anniversary. I got him something that plugs into the TV and does something neat, he got me a handheld Dyson. He didn’t get me a card, want to know why? “The place I stopped at didn’t have Hallmark cards, I knew better than to get you a non-Hallmark card..”Continue reading “man babble: anniversary version 11.0”

First of all, this: Paul is five months old in this photo, Vivi? Four. Needless to say Vivi got stuck in her Bumbo a lot more often. Second, I promise to shooshy about my blurb book after a short “AWW!” about my blurb book: Okay, I’m done. (Seriously, you need to make one of these.)Continue reading “shutter lovely, like shooting lovley but less gun-ish”

I can’t believe I spent so many years driving alone in the car with just Addie. She must have been so bored back there for the first seven years of her life. (I’d say six and half but Vivi didn’t get interesting back there until recently and let’s be honest, little babies in the backContinue reading “backseat sisters.”

On Friday night I went to the Indianapolis Zoo’s annual black tie fundraiser, Zoobilation. I had it on my “Indy Bucket List” of things I wanted to do before I left (I’m not going anywhere anytime soon by the way) and it is now checked off. I was invited to be part of the twitterContinue reading “pretty party animals.”

This transition into summer has been really weird and as usual it seems that when opportunities come, they come all at once only you don’t realize it until you’re sitting down recognizing that this strange feelingContinue reading “this one has a photo of Vivi’s thighs so it must be good.”

Last Thursday night on the way home from shopping she finally said it. “I wish we could give Vivi back.” The left half of me shriveled with sadness while the right half of me shrugged and thought “Can’t blame you, kid.” Addie and I were an inseparable team before Vivi came along, she had meContinue reading “on giving back, sharing mom and loving unconditionally.”

Last night I was staying up WAY TOO LATE working on compiling Vivi’s first year in a photo book. 546 photos. You can’t really comprehend how many photos 546 is until you’re trying to fit them all into a book where you’re charged by page. (Currently on page 105. Hold me.) Suddenly a Barry WhiteContinue reading “Sonos: or how to give your entire life a running soundtrack. (sponsored)”
