If only “snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes” could have the disclaimer of not threatening to make me late for work!
So I’ve wanted to write this post for awhile as there happen to be a few material things that I “couldn’t live without.” They mostly have simplicity and efficiency in common; a [...]
I am so easily fooled by days like today! It’s beautiful out (at least for January in WI!) Makes me want to do a bunch of spring-cleaning.
So we just might be beginning potty training. Rowan seems slightly interested in the toilet and has announced on multiple occasions that he’s “done his thing.” So I [...]
So Merry Christmas!
We’ve had a great (and eventful) Christmas season. Visited John’s folks first and also celebrated Liz’s birthday, then went to my parents’ place the next weekend and also met up with some close friends from high school.
Rowan, of course, was thoroughly spoiled. He got some great toys, books, and [...]
So kind-of a big day, although not more than a fluke. Rowan is really obvious when he’s ready to do “#2;” he grunts, gets red in the face, stares off into the distance, wiggles forward and backward, or any combination of these.

The walls are wood paneling and the whole feeling down in the basement was kind of cold, dark, and dingy. Last summer, Amanda’s sister lived with [...]
John and I are sitting here checking out older posts. Man, Rowan was little! Now he’s leaving to start watching another episode of “Chuck”… whew. Sometimes I stop to think about the fact that we’re married and I smile every time. It still occasionally feels a bit surreal. I’m so lucky to have him…
Anyway, [...]
Took the opportunity to take some pictures after a very thorough cleaning….
So Rowan is about 5 1/2 months old now. I wonder when I’m going to stop thinking of what time/week it is without his age being the first thing I come up with. It’s not like I ever think “It’s been 9 months since we moved into our house” or “It’s been 3 hours since [...]
So our little peanut is home! On June 10th, they decided that although still a little jaundiced, he could be discharged from the NICU. He slept the entire ride and through a visit to Rocky Rococo’s.
Since getting home, he’s met the cat, survived his first sink bath, gone for stroller walks, and just recently gone to [...]
