Usually we’re lucky to get one decent snow a season in Arkansas, but this year has been crazy. We got a dusting on Christmas. We got a few inches on January 3rd. Six inches on January 28th. Eig...
I didn’t expect Nathan to care about Christmas at all, but he had just about grown out of all his clothes so we got him enough clothes for the rest of the winter (unless he hits a major growth ...
Clickeh I gave up posting from my phone. Semi-regular posts will continue whenever they finally get out here and get our internet installed.
My NaBloPoMo participation ultimately ended in failure. This would’ve been so much easier if the isp we contacted weren’t in the process of upgrading their stuff, and could get out here a...
I forgot to blog yesterday… And just now thought about it. =(
1) One of my favorite things about being a parent is showing off my boy. I like taking him places so that people can see him, and whenever strangers tell us he’s cute, or smile at us, it makes ...

I’ve been busy preparing for tomorrow’s trip to Texas, and I still need a shower, so tonight’s post will be a short one. I printed off some of the photos I took the other day. IR...
Is there anything cuter than a baby with adorable chubby cheeks smiling while he’s sticking his tongue out? No? I didn’t think so. (Note: I’m a doting parent who thinks her baby is ...
Sunday I borrowed a cloth diaper from my aunt, so I could put it on Nathan and take some pictures of him in just a diaper. I wanted it to be a plain white diaper, and I can’t find any disposabl...
@huggies asked to see little ones all dressed up, so of course I showed off Nathan. They retweeted it, and said he was adorable, which of course I already knew. I’ve had my Twitter account for ...
