Respected. Knowledgable. Partner.
I started writing about happiness here and here. It’s one of the major things going on in my life right now. It’s everywhere I turn, at home and work. And it’s there because I’ve put it there! I’ve always hated the mundane routine of life and work. I didn’t think there was anything I could do … Continue reading A list-making bender … or something like that.
The funny thing about being a toddler mommy is that sometimes you can’t wait until they are a sleep and then you promptly start to miss them. Most nights I fall asleep smiling to myself about that funny little character sleeping in the other room. Toddler’s can be so frustrating…and I know it’s completely mutual. … Continue reading Unconditional love
I’ve been busy. It’s a poor excuse for teasing you with blog posts and then just as abruptly stopping again. Here’s the thing, I’m working on life balance. And life happiness. I’m working on less time with electronics and more time doing other things. I’m turning the tv off, putting my phone on the counter, … Continue reading Happy me, happy them, happy us
In March, right after I got my cast off, I started reading The Happiness Project. I read it for a few weeks, but then had some major life setbacks and stopped reading it. I went stagnant on anything other than walking again and trying to get back into the swing of life. I’m on a … Continue reading My happiness
I, like most people, start the week with the best of intentions. Full menu of meals, blog posts, clean the house, do the laundry, etc. The list can go on and on. Most weeks I don’t feel that successful until the weekend. I rush around doing ALL.THE.THINGS. I get a rush of adrenaline and feel … Continue reading The energy battle
Usually the Internet is the quickest way to jinx something. I hope that’s not the case for this, because I really just wanted to update on the new sleeping arrangements. 🙂 Maximus has been sleeping in his “new bed,” which is his crib with one new railing, since Monday night. He’s been such a trooper! … Continue reading Toddler bed update
With no help from the Internet, we decided to take the plunge. {Y’all had NO comments?!} We got rid of the crib railing and put in the smallest, shortest rail to keep a wiggly toddler in check. As most toddler plans go, we didn’t get it done yesterday because someone decided to spend over two … Continue reading No more baby crib!
Maximus talks non-stop these days. I mean NON.STOP. He’s definitely not a baby any anymore. The only time we see anything that resembles a baby is when he snuggles. Otherwise, he’s all boy toddler. Running, throwing things, tackling us or the dog, and talking non-stop. His new thing to do is ramble on asking for … Continue reading More, more, more…yes?
I am 16 weeks into this pregnancy and part of me feels like it just begun. I’m stunned and amazed that I have a pregnant belly and don’t understand how four months have gone so fast. I know it has a lot to do with the toddler who is two weeks shy of two years … Continue reading 16 weeks of pregnancy complete
If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve seen me talking about the new game that Maximus has been playing. He pretends he’s a puppy. He gets down on all fours and crawls around the house panting. Tongue out and full-out panting. He crawls up to you and wants you to pet his head. If you … Continue reading Maximus the Puppy
