Sylas is such a big kid now. He is about 45 inches tall, catching up to his momma so quickly. He weighs 47.6 pounds. He has lost five teeth so far too, and I think a couple more are on their way out. He is outgrowing his pants left and right. I’m going to have […]
With Thanksgiving day passed, and Sylas going back to school this coming Monday, it feels like things could slow down for our house. But Sylas’ 8th birthday and Christmas right around the corner will give us plenty to keep busy. I don’t think that I’ve posted on here about virtual learning yet. Three weeks ago […]
What a whirlwind this year has been. I’d be lying if I said that it hasn’t been hard. It’s been awful, truthfully. Work has sucked, summer was sad and lonely, devoid of vacation, holidays are shaping up to be more of the same. I know these are all first world problems, but it doesn’t make […]
These past couple of weeks have been hard. Motherhood is so hard sometimes. I’m running on little sleep, and my patience bank is in the red. All of the kids have been trying me in their own ways. Work has been stressful with ever-changing COVID procedures too. I’m single parenting most of the time because […]
Yesterday I chopped off my hair! I’ve wanted a pixie, or any short hair cut, for as long as I can remember. I’ve really wanted one since I entered into motherhood. Before quarantine, I had decided that I was finally going to take the plunge and do it. I got over my fear of looking […]

I’ve been on a bit of an emotional down lately. I’m finding myself grieving the tiny baby stage of not only Noa, but all of my kids. It is such a strange bundle of emotions to wade through. I am one hundred and ten percent sure that we will not be having anymore children. But […]
What a crazy time we are living in right now. I’ve felt a heavy grief coming over me for the past couple days as we have had to make some hard decisions about how we are going to approach this Coronavirus (COVID 19). Today is the last day the kids will see my parents for […]
It has been a long time since blogging a captain’s log. Life is crazy at the moment. Sylas came down with influenza B over the past weekend and he is on his second day missing school. We’ve rearranged our work schedules for childcare. I feel like I’m sitting in shark-infested waters just waiting for the […]
At this moment, my kids are seven, four, two and a half, and three months. My life is crazy. The days are blending together into this messy soup and I barely have an idea what is going on most of the time. I returned to work from maternity leave so I feel even busier in […]
