I have been pregnant and had children three times now, but never before noticed losing hair at such an incredible rate. Every where I look, my hairs are there. I see them on Holden, on my clothes, on the floor, everywhere. It's disgusting.I googled it yesterday to be sure this was normal and that I... Continue Reading →
15 weeks in
My littlest boy is entering the next stage. The stage where he isn't so helpless anymore. In the bathtub, he flails around while cooing wildly. On the floor, he can nearly roll over. He will be there very soon. He sleeps in his own room in his crib now. The bassinet days seem so long... Continue Reading →
Talk about what you love
Talk about what you love and keep quiet about what you don't.~Quote from Liberal Arts movieI heard this tonight and thought it was profound.

3 months
Look who just turned three months old. A half of a half of a year old. For three months I haven't worked, but instead have taken care of my beautiful boys. Best three months of my life, hands down.

fleeting time
I don't have many pictures of me with my boys since I'm usually behind the camera. But Steve snapped this one yesterday and I love that I have a picture with me and my tiny boy before he gets less tiny.They grow up so fast. I can hardly believe that in two years Holden will... Continue Reading →
Parenting philosophy
Someone asked me once what my parenting philosophy is."What the fuck is a parenting philosophy?" was my response. I guess it's answers to all these questions that you agree upon with your spouse before your child is even born.ie: Will we spank him? Will we let him cry or run to him? Will he sleep...
