Given that it’s 2015, I’m still pretty amazed about the assumptions we make on a daily basis; gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, even the amount of money we have. But, I really don’t know why we’re still assuming other people’s religious and spiritual beliefs. I don’t think we can say that North America is […]
Now, don’t get me wrong, I am the most Christmassy person there is. I look forward to it every year and do my best to make it special. But, man it’s exhausting. People without kids can at least get a couple of days to recover; sleep, binge watch Netflix, while us parents March into January […]
In only a few hours it will officially be a new year. Some who had a year like ours may say good riddance to 2014, but this year, though filled with many challenges, brought me two sweet baby girls. Everyone keeps sharing their years on Facebook and I watched mine to see the random pictures […]
Well if the babies aren’t exhausted from their first Christmas, I sure am. Probably why it’s taken me almost a week to write about it! Since my family has four birthdays in December plus Christmas, the celebrations last almost all month. We visited the 12 decorated Christmas trees at the Gardner Museum, went to the […]
Have you seen the new NyQuil commercials? The ones where a man and woman pop their heads in to tell their bosses they need a sick day and won’t be in tomorrow only to have the camera pan to their bewildered children? That’s pretty much where I’ve been this past week. Buds brought home some […]
The other day, the kids and I had brunch with a friend. At least, it was meant to be brunch, but after our wait it turned into lunch. Considering the wait, heat, and how packed the restaurant was, I thought we all survived pretty well. Towards the end, Raegan lost it a bit and started […]
I can honestly say that last Christmas was the worst Christmas ever, and I’m counting the time I drove home from Chicago on Christmas Eve and had to deal with ice the whole way through Michigan, a massive accident after the border, and not getting to my parents’ house until almost 3 AM. Last year […]
Today is Jason’s birthday, and last year on his birthday we found out we were having girls. It’s pretty hard to top that surprise, but since he was off, I still wanted it to be special. We headed to lunch with the girls then over to a baby friendly movie. Considering we had two babies […]
Sometimes I feel bad for the girls being simultaneously the second and third child. When I was pregnant with Buds, I kept a scrapbook with all the special things I did when I was pregnant and kept it going after he was born; creating scrapbook pages for each month, keeping track of every new experience. […]
After the girls were first born, whenever we asked Braeden the names of his sisters he was always quick to yell Ella! but often needed help remembering Raegan’s name. At first, I thought it was because her name is a little harder to say, but since it’s so similar to his, I wondered if it […]
