so this is love.
Memorial weekend always feels to me like the unofficial launch of all things SUMMER. Friends, I am so excited. Summer usually means business slows down a bit, which actually is okay with me. You see, when Jenna died it was around this time of year. Summer was about to begin and as much as I [...]
One day I’m going to miss this. The changing diapers. Wiping runny noses. Playing ‘clean up’ fifteen times a day. The nights that involve six hours of broken sleep. Hearing Bubby talk about how he wants Daddy on this new schedule. Washing these littles fingers and toes in the bath tub. Holding their hands and [...]
I am such a dork but today one of my small dreams came true and I made my own lotion!!! Well, sunscreen that is. I used this recipe! Why I decided to make my own: – most sunscreens out there are actually not doing their job – lots of sunscreens are actually doing more harm [...]
Nelly – Just A Dream by Nelly – Just A Dream on Grooveshark It amazes me that this well, this well of absolute sadness and grief is never ever empty. There is always something down there. Something that motivates me to be a better person. Something that brings me to tears. Something that moves my [...]
Sometimes life is so full. Full of laundry piles, sick babies, dirty dishes, grocery runs, bills, emails, bad hair days. Life gets full. I have always felt like a part of me is a writer. Not to be confused with the writer that writes best-selling novels and travels the world on the publisher’s dime. But [...]
Since going ‘no poo’, I have learned quite a bit mostly by trial and error. There’s nothing like just diving in and learning what works for you… and what doesn’t. One thing that I have realized is that there is little out there for curly heads regarding no poo hair method. I have read a [...]
This Mother’s Day, remember me. The mom who holds her baby’s hand in the NICU. The mom who wants nothing more than to take her newborn baby home, and free her baby from the medications, the doctors and the smell of the hospital. The mom who misses the baby she lost. The mom who has sweet [...]
A while back I had dozens of blog posts on Blogger tips and tricks. Since then Blogger has updated their interface and they pretty much became useless! haha! I also had to take some time to get used to it. How confusing it was at first! Anyway, I am thinking of starting it up again, [...]
I prayed for you. I cried for you. I’ve cried over you. I’ve cried with you. You are my dream come true. The apple of my eye. The reason I get up each morning. The wonder of my heart. You’ve caught me in a net of wonder, fear and you like no other have made [...]
A few months ago, well it’s been about half a year now, we realized we just weren’t ready to move homes. I was disappointed to say the least. One of my biggest fantasies in our new home was creating a play room/ art room for me and the kids. Dreams of making a large chalkboard [...]

The other day my good friend that I have known since middle school(!!) told me about these, and even made some for me. Bubby even loved them, and that’s saying a lot. This kid is picky! They are amazing!!!! Since I was pregnant with Bubby, I have had a colossal sweet tooth and the most [...]
On a typical day, this is what my living room floor looks like. Dump trucks, stuffed animals and books scattered all over our worn out carpet. Rubbed out spots on the floor, from peanut butter or ice cream. Laundry covering the smaller sofa. I can hardly keep up these days. I think I’ve given up [...]
Sometimes she whispers. Sometimes she’s far. And it’s almost like it never happened. It’s easier for grief to be so close it hurts. Isn’t that so backwards though? In the beginning it was unimagineable to think that I’d have to carry this pain for the rest of my life. And now that ebb and flow [...]
