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…
I got a few questions in response to my call for post topics & ideas, so I thought I’d answer them here. I’ll also plan to do a few more day-in-the-life posts since a few people requested them. — How are you prepping for baby #2? I wrote this post about what I’m doing to prep for baby #2. I’ve made a ton of progress on both of those lists, but still have a few things to do (pack hospital…
Hello, and happy polar vortex week. I hope you guys are staying warm out there. Matt and I had a really low-key weekend, as we were both dealing with colds that were just dragging on and left us feeling tired. We did manage to eat some Mexican food (spices are good for colds, right?) at Supernica. This might be a new favorite, especially since the salsa is some of the best I’ve had. And the kids meals come with popsicles, so…
Thanks for all your comments about post ideas – they have given me lots to think about! I saw this article circulating Facebook about the mental load of mothers – this is the never-ending to-do list, the worry, the always-on, super mom brain that comes with running a household in today’s fast-paced world. I was thinking about the mental load when we made the decision to move, but I couldn’t quite pin-point it until now. While I found work to be…
And just like that another school year is complete! I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t even had time to think about summer. But now it’s here and I have 10 weeks off with my sweet girl! Matt’s parents were visiting last weekend and we did a lot of eating around town. We finally made it to Pecan Lodge after living in Dallas for 4 years! The meat lived up to the hype. Although, we skipped the main line by…
Hi Friends, How’s it going? Here’s our 6 month update: We had some major regression this month – both with falling asleep for naps and staying asleep at night. The good news is, we’ve been doing some sleep training to help with the wake-ups, and Emerson has slept through the night (well, until 5am) a few nights in a row this week. While this is definitely something to celebrate, she did this back at 3 months, so it only feels…
-Going back to work was hard and rewarding and exciting and stressful and so many things. -We just booked our first air travel for this spring, and I’m nervous. I’m also kind of surprised they haven’t invented some kind of seatbelt for lap babies. It just doesn’t seem safe to me. -I’ve been doing Popsugar Fitness at home, but last week was my first time visiting the gym again. Man, I forgot that it’s such a scene with everyone in…
It seems most women who blog write about the glamorous stuff: made-from-scratch meals, pics when they’re all dolled up with friends, and cute babies with headbands. I’m guilty of writing 98% of posts about my weekends, which involve a lot of fun and games. I find it really fascinating to read day-in-the-life posts about others though, especially posts from people who have to get up and go to an office everyday. I don’t think I’ve ever written one in the…
-I think I have senioritis. This whole year time has moved so quickly yet the last two weeks are moving soo slowly. I’m getting very excited. I put in a proposal to do some work over the summer and I’m looking forward to two trips! -Matt and I have almost been married for 2 years! We have a wedding this weekend, so we celebrated early with the tasting menu at FT33 last weekend. The food was fantastic! My only complaint…
