Okay, y’all. I love hot weather. For a time. (Like….four months.) And then I’m over it and tired of sweating and ready for it not to feel like I’m standing on the sun. I’m so glad Fall is HERE! I mean, let’s not pay any attention to the fact that it’ll be back in the mid 80s […]
Dear Joshua, On Your First Day of First Grade
Dear Joshua, I know “they” say I’m not supposed to shower you with praise and compliments or over inflate your ego lest you become one of the dreaded “entitled millennials” (or whatever generation you are), but I can’t really help it sometimes. You’re going places. I know it. I want you to know that I’m […]
State of the Weight Wednesday: False Start
Okay, it’s Wednesday. Right? I’m at Joshua’s swimming lessons, so yes, it must be Wednesday. Let’s do this SOTWW thing. Last week was pretty much a false start for me. I had high hopes of stepping on the scale this morning to find out I had busted my 32 for 31 goal right out of […]
The First Thanksgiving
I’m semi-drunk and stuck in the car and thoughts are swirling in my brain and so in order to purge them I’m spilling them here. Happy Thanksgiving. We needed today, mom and me, and my brother, too, and for the most part, today was a great day. But today was hard. It was the first […]
State of the Weight Wednesday: Just Breathe
It’s time for another week of State of the Weight Wednesday! State of the Weight is a link-up about more than just the numbers on the scale.

Their purpose is to inform […]
Emma’s 1st Birthday: A Pretty Pink Party
So, Emma turned 1, right? I know. I’m trying to pretend it didn’t happen, too. Except it did happen. And we threw her a party. A Pretty Pink Party. The inspiration for a pink birthday party came from a skirt I bought her on a swap page. It was so delicate and this amazing shade […]
2012: A Retrospective
The close of 2012 is upon us. Instead of doing crazy things, I’m older now and sort of lame and counting down the minutes until bed time instead of the Times Square ball drop. C’est la vie, right? This morning I decided to dig through the archives on ye olde blog to see what happened […]
Better late than never. A belated Merry Christmas.
I’m recovering from a Christmas hangover. I intended to get this post up yesterday and then got caught in a tornado of wrapping paper and bacon mac. So, better late than never, right? Merry Christmas, y’all.
Happy Thanksgiving
“Rest and be thankful.” ― William Wadsworth I can think of no better way to have spent today than this. I am thankful. For everything.
