Most days, I do something to Adele’s hair. Her hair is just long enough in the front that it needs pulled back out of her face, or it really hangs in her eyes. So I pull it into a tiny top-knot or...
We went on a much needed trip to Boise last Friday to stock up on stuff. Life in a two-grocery-store town is quiet, slow, and at times idyllic. Our two grocery stores are perfectly sufficient, and...
We had more rain today, with lots of gray clouds and humid air. It felt wonderful today, sort of romantic and cozy. I had a few errands to run and I just enjoyed the familiar comfort of the misty...
We went for a drive yesterday, just to get out of the house. Normally we’d have gone for a walk, but it was so windy and cold, plus Adele and I are still sick, so a drive it was. The kids love when...
Yesterday I was feeling so frustrated, so over everything that I have been dealing with on a daily basis. I stood in the kitchen, picking meat off of a whole chicken I had cooked to make soup for...
Daylight savings went rather well this year. Normally, I dread it, because I know it is going to make bedtime harder for the kids. And I did dread it beforehand, but it was unnecessary, because...
Today was the first day where it actually felt like spring. The sky was piercingly blue, and the sun was bright enough to hurt your eyes. My mother in law is visiting this week, so she watched the...
You’ll have to excuse the bad lighting. The kids’ room doesn’t have the best light, and it was just too cold this week to be outside much. I snapped a few pictures of the girls before school the...
Sometimes I grab ahold of one of the kids and look at them, really look at them, and see that they are these funny, whole, complete, tiny humans. There are parts of them that are already big...
The twins at 14 months. See? The last 5 years were a blink. I love warm weather. Growing up in Western Oregon, we didn’t have much of that. I have never really known what it’s like to live in a...
I hope you all are having a lovely weekend! We have been enjoying ours. So far we have swam, a few of us have kayaked, drank lots of coffee, and laughed a lot. Especially at Adele, who has a couple...
I love Fridays. Not just because it’s nearly the weekend, although that does help, but because the kids have no school. I love having nowhere to go, no deadlines, and no need to get out of pajamas....
Today was a weird day. Adele wanted to nurse all night long last night, and while I normally just fall asleep after she latches on, I didn’t last night. Or I would fall asleep, but as soon as she...
Oh my goodness, where does time go?! I say this phrase almost daily, yet almost daily, I genuinely find myself wondering. I feel like it was yesterday that Adele was nearing the mark of her first...
This has been the most ridiculous week. I don’t know what is in the air, but things have been ROUGH around here. Did you notice that my Small Style post was up on Wednesday? And that it linked to…...
I love this girl. She is my first-born, if only by 10 minutes. She is a feeler, a comforter, a listener. She cares more about others than she does about herself. When I ask her how her day was at...
Two of the plotters Sometimes, I think my kids are out to get me. Since they wake up before I do, I imagine them conspiring in their beds, plotting the havoc they plan on wreaking on our day. All...
I am trying to use my real camera a little bit more. I love that I have my iPhone with me all the time, because it does mean that I have way more pictures than I would if I didn’t carry it around,...
This Valentine’s Day was all about the kids. I was supposed to bring the second treat for the twins’ classes, meaning another parent was bringing cupcakes or some such thing. It turned out that...
We bought a house in rural Michigan sight-unseen off the internet. My husband quit his job in...
