N things of the week – #12
Driving the digger!! I’d like to say that my favorite part of the Thanksgiving holiday was good food and good company. But it wasn’t. It was getting to drive the Bobcat at my dad’s house. I have always wanted to drive construction equipment. I’m not interested in it for a job I don’t think. I […]

Baby is three months old! To be precise, he’s three months, one week and one day old. Every week is different with him. He is changing and developing at such a rapid pace. I’ve decided that I really like the stage he’s at right now. He is awake and aware more. He smiles. He still […]
Friends with the wind
This is a poem that I wrote a few years back that I came across again recently. I’ve always rather liked this one. Friends with the wind If you make friends with the sun You will undoubtedly have fun But come a rainy day You may find he’s gone away If you make friends with […]
A few thoughts on being a mom
I’ve been thinking lately about the things that I’ve come to understand in my short time as a mom. It’s strange because I’ve been a woman my whole life, but I never really thought about it all that much. Being pregnant and giving birth made me realize just how crazy strong and important women really […]
A Broken-Hearted Song
I’ve been thinking about just writing more. Not necessarily about my life, but to stretch my creative muscles. So tonight after baby B fell asleep without a fuss at 7:30 leaving me a rare bit of ‘me time’, I Googled writing prompts. I came across one that was to write a broken-hearted song and thought […]

Baby is 7 weeks old! In some ways that time has flown by, in other ways it has just crawled. (The times that crawl are mostly those in the middle of the night when I really wish I was sleeping.) Much of the time, I would just like to stop time. He is so perfect […]
N things of the week- Baby is here!
OK, this week there is really only one thing on my mind. My son was born August 2nd, weighing in at 6 pounds, 11 ounces. I am completely enamored. To me, he is the cutest little guy ever. I simply cannot express how much I love this little guy. The last couple of weeks have […]

1 to 6 weeks My official due date is August 21 (also the day of the total solar eclipse that is happening). 95% of babies don’t come on their due dates and in fact, it seems quite silly to put a specific date on it when in reality there is a range of 5 weeks […]

My cat is missing 🙁 One of my two cats went missing. This is not the first time this has happened since I moved to Albuquerque, but this is the first time that I haven’t found her again within a day or two. I still have hopes that she’ll turn back up- I’ve put up […]

Summertime The sweet feeling of summertime seems to be creeping up on me. One of my best moments this week was a simple walk to the neighborhood park. It was just hot enough out that by the time I got there, a stop to rest in the shade under a big tree seemed to be […]
