the one about staring at the baby.

I’ve had quite a few tumultuous struggles this past week with Addie in school for seven hours a day. For example: Stare at the baby or scrub the toilets? (Answer: Stare at the baby and then put the baby in a bouncy seat whilst toilet scrubbing.) Stare at the baby or go to the groceryContinue reading “the one about staring at the baby.”

oh, ye of little milk supply.

I feel it important to impart all of the wisdom I procured over the most intense eight weeks of my life. The eight weeks I spent trying to establish anything resembling a milk supply. There’s a lot I need to type out here so I’ll try to make it as easy to read/scan as possible.Continue reading “oh, ye of little milk supply.”

the one about addie as a big sister.

Dearest Addie, By the time most people read this you will already be settling into your first day of first grade. It will be the first day you take the bus to and from school. The first day you eat lunch by yourself in a cafeteria. The first day you are gone all day atContinue reading “the one about addie as a big sister.”

a fair elephant in the room.

So maybe you heard about what happened at the Indiana State Fair tonight (last night.) Many of you thought of me when you heard the news. Long story short, a concert stage collapsed from severe weather killing at least four and injuring dozens if not hundreds of others. I found out about it through twitter.Continue reading “a fair elephant in the room.”

I would hate for you to be left out of random pop culture references. You see, I’ve been left out in the dark on far too many pop culture jokes only I have never admitted such a thing until now. I’m the dork that played along as a group of young guys went face downContinue reading “pretty, pastrami, planking and pork. {sponsored}”

dear baby, at the close of our california adventure.

HI VIVI! Big week. Lots of travel! Lots of firsts! Like baby’s first time being carried by a celebrity! (or mom’s lady friend who cooks good, whatever.) When Ree gets home and makes another ranch baby she’s going to be blaming you. Just warning you now. It’s all your fault for being so wonderful. InContinue reading “dear baby, at the close of our california adventure.”

the potty barrier.

*clears throat* Hi. Hello. I’m Casey and I refuse to go to the bathroom in front of anyone over the age of four except for female nurses in a hospital setting. Aside from Addie coming in after age four to have a little conversation with me, no one has ever seen me go to theContinue reading “the potty barrier.”

perinka, pouty faces, photos and pads of two varieties.

PHEW. So, BlogHer 2011. We survived! WHEE! I am still here hanging out with tiny gramma and my sister who drove down to meet me from Utah. Baby on the beach. It will happen. I wrote about bringing your baby to BlogHer here. And I wrote about strangers touching my baby here. (Um, some peopleContinue reading “perinka, pouty faces, photos and pads of two varieties.”
