Hashtag blessed. I’m just feeling all the feels lately, and I’m guessing it’s mostly because I have miraculously somehow clawed my way out of the Pit of Vom where I had been barely existing for the past 5 months and now am standing loud and proud on top of Barf Mountain feeling like a billion… Continue reading gratitudes and platitudes

FIRST THINGS FIRST: I owe you guys a major apology. After my latest absolutely viral blog post, reaching literally nearly a dozen people, some in far off locales as remote and exotic as Seeley, WI, I received more than a few apologies from people that I love and cherish explaining how sorry they were for… Continue reading Halfsies

These are the things: 1) This pregnancy is garbage. I don’t know if it is just being pregnant a year older and whilst chasing a whirling dervish or if it is from having two squiggles on the inside but I. Am. Wrecked. So much vom. And so much exhaustion. And so much rage. Oh yes,… Continue reading Things I know

Blogging has been the furthest thing from my mind lately. Between the nonstop yacking and the cloud of panicked doom I have been grumbling around under I’ve been just barely hanging onto a little fiber of strength that allows me to perform the  most basic functions necessary to existence. Freaking babies! I keep thinking about… Continue reading Pardon my hiatus!

I’m loving this age. Olivia is the single most entertaining thing I’ve ever followed around for hours on end, bored out of my mind. She talks in absolute gibberish sentences and sings and reads to herself, and prances around on her little tippy toes and randomly stops and spins around in circles cackling madly. She is super… Continue reading Toddlerhood

So life in the new hood is grand. Just grand. Doing all sorts of domestic crap. Look at this centerpiece. Regular ol’ Martha Freaking Stewart over here: And also this welcome sign!: Can’t believe how quickly we adjusted to our new location, and even more unbelievable is how little I even think about Bayview. I was anticipating… Continue reading new digs, who dis?

The Holidays! The most magical time of the year! We are strict observers of a very sacred day called Meat Night, in which, as tradition goes, I invite myself to my bestie Megan’s aunt and uncle’s house for their party the night before Thanksgiving. During college I decided to insert myself into Megan’s family and just… Continue reading Yuletide

How can this possibly be? A whole year has passed since our crazy, amazing, sweet, sassy, gorgeous little babe bounced into the world and started stealing hearts. It feels like she was just squished up inside of me, getting hiccups on the hour and kicking me so hard in the ribs I would lose my… Continue reading wowza

Ahhhhh. Realized that I inadvertently took a little blogging hiatus for the past few months being busy living the dream in the hazy heat of summer. I’ll admit, when OG first plopped out of me and into our lives I took one look at her and had instant panic that I would never truly be able… Continue reading summer recap

Time to tell the tale of a very brief chapter in our lives. Very brief, but very important. “No bueno?” I asked the woman holding the evidence of our future in her hands as she scanned my uterus with her magic wand. …”No bueno,” She replied, not meeting my eye. ….Girl, I knew. I knew… Continue reading the interlude
