I Thought I Lost my Kid.

May 1, 2013

Right now I am sitting at my dining room table, trying to figure out how in the world I am going to get this house packed up. I can’t get the dishes done without Judah running out the backdoor, let alone do work where I need to be sorting and organizing and getting rid of [...]

Don’t be Captain Obvious

March 12, 2013

There are few things that irk me more than when a pregnant woman complains of morning sickness and someone tells her to eat a Saltine before she gets out of bed in the morning. Is there anyone in the world that does not know this trick?  If you have read a book, seen a movie, [...]

Bizzy Babee Wrap {A Review & Giveaway}

March 8, 2013

I used to host the Breastfeeding Blog Hop and every Thursday was my night to sit down and dish about the ups and downs of nursing.  I handed the reigns over to the lovely ladies at Sisters n’ Cloth and Life of Wife, Mummy, and Nurse this past summer but I still get a hefty [...]

Part-Time Blogging, Pinterest, and Pink Eye

January 21, 2013

Over the past few months I’ve started blogging less.  When I get the bug to write, I do it over at Minnesota Mom, and everything else ends up here.  Up until this fall, I had my laptop on the dining room table at all times.  I could sit down and write whenever the mood struck [...]

What do you Need?

December 11, 2012

Remember earlier this year, when we were making a very big attempt at purging all of our stuff and living more simply? Why is it so hard to remember that intention at this time of year? Or rather, why do I feel guilty for not overwhelming my kids with gifts or giving extravagantly to friends [...]

Immersed.

December 5, 2012

When the twins were about 18 months old, we started talking about what kind of school we wanted to send then to.  At the top of our wish list was a language immersion school.  There are quite a few here in Minneapolis and it seemed like a really great option since we both feel that [...]

A Day in the Life at Casa de Slacker

November 2, 2012

Sometimes it gets really overwhelming staying at home.  At the end of the day I look at what actually got done and it seems like absolutely nothing in comparison to what I have on my to-do lists. Most days it *is* nothing! But then when you break it down, there is a lot that gets [...]

And Then I Called Poison Control

October 1, 2012

This story is about poop. You have been warned. On Saturday we started to notice the boys had green poops. Like. REALLY green. Like maybe somewhere between Green and Mountain Meadow. At first we just went with it. I tried to figure out why exactly it was so brightly hued. What did they eat yesterday? [...]

Breaking Point

August 22, 2012

It took 19 months of being a SAHM for me to lose my mind. 19 months to realize that a trip to Target for groceries every two weeks was NOT in fact enough of a break from my children and husband so that I could recharge and keep going. I’m not sure if it was [...]

Breastfeeding Blog Hop: Week 30 and a Goodbye

July 26, 2012

When I took over the Breastfeeding Blog Hop from it’s original host, Life with Levi, I was very certain I was up to the challenge of writing about breastfeeding each week, even though I wasn’t pregnant or nursing. As time went on, it became more difficult. What more could I say that hadn’t already been [...]
