On My Toes
My kids are doing their fair share of keeping me on my toes (as much as humanly possible). All four of my children are learning at warp speed right now. For Lily, it’s first grade wonder. She’s really into the solar system all the sudden, among other things. Above is a picture she drew during […]
The Kids Are All Right
The details of my life, my musings and my wonderings continue to float about my sleepy, hormone-riddled mind. I’m swinging back and forth between feeling sufficiently efficient and overwhelmed. I don’t feel terribly unlike myself or incessantly chained to a newborn. Instead I feel important in the way that I have not chosen to be, […]
Getting It Right
My mind has been working overtime. I tell you: the details float around my head like you wouldn’t believe. I am trying to stay on top of so many things: paperwork, bills, memory keeping, laundry, dishes, preschool, first grade, gymnastics, visitors, emails, on and on… oh, and the care, keeping, feeding, diapering, bathing, chauffering and […]

Give Me Twenty Minutes!
It’s amazing what a mom can do in twenty minutes! Say a mom wakes up at 7:15 and the bus comes around 7:38. A mom can sneak out of bed, leaving the two-week-old sleeping, gather up the rest of her kids, get her seven-year-old dressed, remember it’s picture day so fix seven-year-old’s hair, fix said […]
Jaundice Be Gone!
Oh, my dear readers. What a week! It has been one of unexpected twists and turns, and I am so behind on so many things that it’s overwhelmingly not. Does that make any sense? I have reached a point in my life and in my motherhood where I know my limits. That is to say, […]
Welcome, Lucas Anthony!
Here’s our little man, Lucas Anthony Roberts! He is now five days old and doing well. We had a pretty good birth experience. It was not my best, by far, but it ended with a healthy momma and a healthy baby, and, for that, I am ever grateful. Let me tell ya, it got a […]
