Thankfully, Ali has napped amazingly today. She has gone down for both of her naps and fallen asleep immediately, which hasn’t happened in at least a month or two. It’s so relieving and a nice, easy change of pace! However, lately I have had to go in her room at least once if not several […]
flowers
As I have mentioned before, I have a personal gardener. I didn’t request my gardener, nor do I pay my gardener – flowers just appear in my yard and flower box. It is amazing! My mom loves gardening, and I personally did not inherit her love or abilities for gardening. Or sewing, for that matter. […]

So I haven’t […]

Pulling on ears, low fevers, listlessness, indescribably rotten diapers, rashes, crying in sleep, or cravings to eat whole chicken legs, bone and all. Ok, maybe not on the chicken thing, but everything else for […]

feeling like a mom
Something happened today that made me feel like a Mom. Not a Mommy, which is what I feel like most days, but a MOM. In my mind, a Mommy is when you have a baby, and you are cuddling and loving on your baby, taking care of and teaching the baby new things, etc – […]
