Four years ago my sister had her first baby, Tayden. Long story short, all 9 pounds of him made it out after 36+ hours of labor, 2.5 hours of pushing, and a dozen other complications that basically left my sister a wreck both physically and mentally. I got to the hospital just after her earlyContinue reading “Jovie…”

random ankles
It was one of those moments when I want to tell those who choose to be child-free, “YOU MADE A FINE CHOICE FOR YOURSELF. I ENVY THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE COVERED IN POO AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.”

simplicity and our home at the end of the street.
The weather has been positively perfect around these parts lately. At this moment our windows are wide open, a slight breeze is blowing through, the crickets are doing their cricket thing and Cody and I are both tapping out our tales by the glow of an old lamp, three feet apart from each other. IContinue reading “simplicity and our home at the end of the street.”
peanut addie-butter and choco-vivi-late
These two. Go ahead, just stare at it, I’ll give you a minute. This is my everyday, this is what I get to be surrounded by in my home. Even better? This is what my girls are growing up with. Vivi has all the confidence in the world, she walks into rooms as though sheContinue reading “peanut addie-butter and choco-vivi-late”

Dear World, You’re going to have to be patient and bear with me for the next several months. You see, I have what could pretty much be considered a toddler. Not only does she toddle like it’s her job, she has the will of a thousand stubborn oxen. I’m going to have to take thisContinue reading “toddle-shopping”
oh my vivi.
Today has been the first day I’ve really had Vivi all to myself. Addie started school the day I left for New York, between New York and our cruise I was dodging suitcases and swimming in laundry. Cody’s mom stuck around two extra days after grandbabysitting duties last week so today was the first dayContinue reading “oh my vivi.”
everything I know about cloth diapering I learned from the internet (or by messy accident.)
Most days I love cloth diapers, other days I’m okay with them, and some days I just don’t want to deal with them. We still have and use disposable on occasion, mainly for overnight, super nasty and constant poop issues (teething) or when Vivi has an enormous gnarly rash that requires crazy amounts of variousContinue reading “everything I know about cloth diapering I learned from the internet (or by messy accident.)”
the one of vivi dancing. (video)
Trying to clean your room with a mobile 13 month old is ridiculous. At the moment I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of strangers who are going to clean out my dryer vent, glories of home ownership I suppose. Is this something people have done regularly? I don’t remember ever knowing of anyone who’s hadContinue reading “the one of vivi dancing. (video)”
scooty vivi. {video}
My dad said I should photoshop cowboy boots onto her and edit the video to “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.” I think he has a valid argument. And Vivi has rug burn. (Guess what? This video was shot and seamlessly uploaded straight to YouTube with my Motorola Droid Bionic. No more recording, uploading, editing and uploading throughContinue reading “scooty vivi. {video}”
