Missing
May 09, 2012"Does it feel like I've been missing from this space? It's probably because I am. I hardly sit still, let alone see my laptop anymore. My iPad has been commandeered by an (almost) three year old Mac Genius. The only way I even see the internet is to catch brief glimpses on my iPhone when [...]"
Wordless Wednesday: Beach Time
May 02, 2012"One of the things I love about living in our neighborhood is the beach. There is a tiny inlet just behind our row of townhouses that you would have to live on our street to even know about. Which means little competition for the small patch of sand and lots of water for Bink to [...]"
Wordless Wednesday: Budding Photographer
April 25, 2012"I’m linking up with these Wordless/Wordful Wednesday sites: Angry Julie Monday, Project Alicia, Better in Bulk, Five Minutes For Mom, and Seven Clown Circus."
Teaching a Toddler About Life with a Newborn
April 19, 2012"When Spike was on the way, we started early trying to prepare Bink for big brotherhood. Books about being a big brother. A big sibling episode of his favorite cartoon. And talking about the baby coming soon. I don't really know that any of those things ever sank in for Bink. The best thing we [...]"
Why I’m Staying Home
April 18, 2012"Illustrated through iPhone pictures... Coffee in my PJs with a snuggly baby on my lap and a toddler by my side. Morning arts and crafts projects. Playtime at the "baby gym". A lunch time swim at the beach. After nap piano concerts. Playtime on the floor. Double bath time. Bed."
Staying Home
April 12, 2012"I wasn't really sure what to expect from my transition to working to staying home with the kids. For the first four weeks after Spike's arrival we continued to send Bink to daycare. That gave me a chance to sleep when the baby slept and for Bink's routine not too get too messed up until [...]"
Comparing the Kids
March 21, 2012"I've gotten a few requests to see pictures of all three kids as newborns. It's funny to see how similar and different they all look, even though they'd only been around for a few hours when each of these pictures were taken. Before I show you those pictures, I finally settled on a nickname for [...]"

Home Again, Home Again
March 05, 2012"We're back at home and (mostly) settled. Our days are filled with as much of this as we can manage:"
Happy Birthday to Me
February 27, 2012"Last Thursday we celebrated my 31st birthday. It was a quiet, pretty ordinary day which fit exactly right for our family right now. Normally on my birthday my Mom and I both take off work and we spend the day shopping, going to lunch, and hanging out. This year, being gigantically pregnant, shopping didn't really [...]"
Instagram Update
February 20, 2012"At my 37 week OB appointment last Thursday I thought I finally had it all figured out. My appointment was for 9:45 am, which meant she obviously wouldn't see me until at least 11 am. I decided I'd be super productive and put together a blog post on my phone. I go to work putting [...]"
Project 365
February 17, 2012"As one of my more ambitious goals for 2011, I decided to take part in Project 365--a photo a day, every day, in 2011. It was way more challenging than it sounds and I can't tell you how many times I was scrambling to take picture at 10 pm so I didn't miss a day. [...]"
Preschool Problems
February 09, 2012"I came to an interesting realization last week as I started checking out preschools for Bink...I'd clearly already ruined his chances of getting in to college. Before starting my search, I mentally patted myself on the bat. It was only February. I was so on top of things to get this done before the new [...]"
Teaching a Toddler About a New Baby
February 07, 2012"Hubby and I have been trying for the past few months to prepare Bink for the impending arrival of his new little brother. As you can imagine with a two-year-old, that's mostly been falling on deaf ears. Then about a month ago, Bink has suddenly become all about Grayson. I think it started when he [...]"
Instagram Wednesday
February 01, 2012"Last Wednesday Bink stayed home sick from daycare. We spent the entire day in bed, which is how I knew he really didn't feel very good. I don't think Bink has stayed in one place so long since before he learned to crawl. We watched Toy Story 3 FOUR TIMES IN A ROW. And he [...]"
