Earth Day | Energy Usage Survey
As mentioned here and here, one of the common debates at our house is how we could decrease our carbon footprint. Of course I don’t present it in those terms, but what could we do to reduce trash and consumption in our home? This new stage of life really has me...
take them a meal
I can think of nothing more that a family with a newborn needs (maybe besides some extra cash and sleep) than to have meals covered the first couple weeks they are home. And that same philosophy applies when people have had surgery or a stressful week. We have been...
10 years as a Cancer Survivor | What I know now
10 years ago, I started this blog. My first post was the first weekend I had been diagnosed with cancer. I knew I had a lot of people in different states who were starting to hear about my diagnosis and wanted to know what was going on. Many were afraid to ask,...
Miracle Man
After all that, I did have to make a decision with one fact in mind – To save my life might mean I never got to make his; my own little miracle.
MOMMY REPORT | 2 months
Dude, where is the time going? You are already 2 months. I refuse to even say 9 weeks because that sounds so much longer. You are the sweetest little thing and I’ll record it since we are all saying…and oh so pretty. Your face screams peace, you know except when you are hungry!
KCD: Baby gift items
Thankfully we are coming out of flu season and all the winter weather, but its spring and that has its own new set of things to keep away from little man. March wind is still blowing, germs are still swarming, but pollen has entered and April showers are just around the corner.
Hopping Down the Bunny Trail | filling Easter baskets with more than eggs
What about you? Was there anything growing up that was always in your Easter basket? For us, it was the Eggums – the little carton of egg shaped bubble gums. And of course Reeses eggs…still as grown ups, we get both of these in our “Easter basket”.

Jonquil Festival at Old Washington
This past weekend, we took Little Man for his first big outing to the Jonquil Festival at Historic Washington State Park. It might have been too early, but we kept him close in the Ergo baby, and not too many extra fingers touched him. It was just a perfect spring...
Easter Resources for lessons and learning
The Easter season is upon us. Much of the décor of the day involves glittery eggs, baby chicks, bunnies in various dimensions, baskets, fake grass made out of paper or plastic and stuffed furry things in all the wrong colors. But, this holiday represents so much...

Postpartum body | your body after the baby
Oh sister, and I say sister because what follows is a BIG SISTER CHAT. If you are here just like a regular visit and one of my dad’s friends, you may want to skip this one….we are doing some girl talk. You just had a baby, now what? Wondering what happens after you...
MOMMY REPORT | 1 month
Well buddy, I cant believe we made it. In so many ways, it seems so long ago that I first held you at the hospital. I guess time is standing still. I know I just gave an update a couple weeks ago, but you have already changed so much. We have finally figured out...
