When I was with Olive in the hospital, I spent a good amount of time feeling overwhelmed with gratitude. Not just for big things, like the doctors and nurses that saved Olive’s life, but for the little things as well. The cleaning lady that came into my room and hugged me when I was alone … Continue reading
I cannot believe that it has already been a month since Olive was born. In true new mom fashion, the last month has been a total blur and I’m not exactly sure what day it is. The last month has been spent at home, for the most part – we braved a trip to the … Continue reading
Today has been one of those days. The day where I wake up feeling like I never went to sleep at all. The day where, try as I might, I can’t keep up with the two year old that’s running wild around the house. The day where Eric has the car, the park seems miles … Continue reading

And it seems like I’m the only person on the planet that’s not pregnant. But you know what? It’s ok. I can hear Josie and her friend … Continue reading
Long story, short – we’ve been up to a lot of stuff and I dropped off the face of the blogging Earth. But not the literal Earth! We’ve been having a whole bunch of fun. Seriously. Having staring contests… Taking baths… family trips to the zoo… exploring the Children’s Museum… reading with Daddy… and with … Continue reading
Me: Don’t mess with me, I’m on my period. Eric: Ok, for the last two weeks or something it’s been “Don’t mess with me, I’m PMSing,” now it’s, “Don’t mess with me, I’m on my period.” Why don’t you just say, “Don’t mess with me, I’m a woman?” Me: … I guess he’s got … Continue reading

Finding Joy in the Everyday
Be thankful. Give thanks. Live thankfully.
for when life hands you lemons
my life & adventures in food, crafting, parenthood & more
Every day I'm jugglin'.
