Hey y’all. Taking a break from cleaning the house for the 100th time this week to type up this day in the life post. I’m finding my days have changed a lot since Avery has become mobile and I started a new job. Luckily, I have a break in work this week as I turned in two big reports last week! 7:30 – Avery was up from 2-3 crying on and off due to teething, so I was relieved that…
Hello out there! It’s been tough finding time to blog since I started working part-time. I wrestle with the idea of quitting blogging all together, and it always makes me too sad. For now, I’ll still be popping in to share when I can. Speaking of the job (I’m working as a virtual school psychologist for a bit, since so many schools are struggling with the pandemic), it’s been a big learning curve to return to the field after 7…
Friday morning started with an early wakeup with this cutie who is getting two bottom teeth. She finally gave up her 5:00/6:00AM feeding/wakeup, in July but began waking up early again over the past ten days with the teething. She started crying at 5:30 and we let her cry it out for about 15 minutes and she went back to sleep. It must have woken up Emerson though, because we heard her up and playing in her room. Needless to…
-I LOVED reading your comments on my last post!! Thank you!! -Em had her first appointment since the pandemic started and was definitely a bit nervous. It’s so strange going out into the world now because it’s so rare. We had a good time being out just the two of us! -We are heading to the beach soon! We originally planned to go to Jeckyll Island as our big summer trip – although we cancelled our plans to stay at…
I started my blog on this day in 2010! I just went back and read my first post (and kinda rolled my eyes, but those life ponderings felt SO important at the time:)) Here it is with some parts removed: Welcome to my very first post!! I hope to have an ‘About Me’ page soon, but in the meantime, I’ll give you the rundown…. [After graduation], I was very very sad to have to leave the college community and enter…
Hello out there! It’s been a while since I’ve just written about life – we are taking it day to day over here. I’m so thankful some of my neighborhood friends put together themes with craft ideas and activities for the kids! We did ocean week, Earth week, and space week thus far, and it’s given us a little bit of structure to our days. We’ve also been taking daily walks and I’m kind of dreading the heat of July…
Hi Friends, I didn’t feel right posting what I had originally planned, so I just wanted to pop on and say that Black lives matter to me! I’m sorry that it took police killing an innocent man for me to commit more time to learning and listening about how I can make a dent in the systemic racism in our country. But I won’t be silent and I can’t do nothing! Just a few things I’m doing now: -Started reading Me…
-I still can’t believe she was in my body just 6 months ago!! -Some days we aren’t doing much at all, but it still feels so busy – now that Avery is eating three meals a day, it seems like she’s eating breast milk or solids like every 2 seconds. Between all the eating/snacks/naps, the days really do fly by. -So glad we’ve done a couple of Green Chef boxes to mix things up for dinner during this quarantine. We…
Avery is six months old (well 7 next week) and she is just an absolute joy! 6-12 months is my favorite stage EVER and if I could keep having babies in this stage, I would:) She is obsessed with Emerson – won’t eat if Em’s in the room and looks for her everywhere the minute she hears Em’s voice. I LOVE that they are starting to interact and cannot wait to see them play together in the coming months. Avery…
