I’ve always wanted to hang photos of our family up in the order of a family tree. I saw it in a magazine once and fell in love with the idea. Last week, I painted our upstairs hallway in a grayish-green and bought a darker shade of green to paint a tree on the wall. As […]

When I was young, maybe 9 or 10, I can remember sitting next to my mom on her bed and crying over another disagreement with a friend. Looking back, it’s easy to only remember these times, because they seemed so frequent. I was a sensitive kid, I was new to the neighborhood, I had a […]
Over a year ago, I wrote about wanting to stop being lazy and start holding myself accountable for getting things done… oops! In some ways, I did accomplish that goal – when I wrote it, I was a few weeks pregnant with our second child! After an incredibly hormonal pregnancy and several months of postpartum […]

We were first introduced to Pete the Cat at library story time. Pete is a cool cat that doesn’t let anything bother him.

You know how kids say the oddest, most random things sometimes? It’s Saturday morning. I’m working away at the computer, my son is playing with toys next to me.
