Why I'm Taking All This So Personally: #NaBloPoMo Day 6
I’ve followed this presidential election cycle really closely, and obviously have some really strong opinions about the candidates. I regularly listen to five political podcasts, participate in a Facebook group dedicated to having respectful, intelligent conversations on politics (loooove it), watched all the debates while closely following Twitter at the same time, and have read…
Sick: #NaBloPoMo Day 5
Yesterday morning, G’s nurse, who had been with him all night, told me that he’s thrown up formula about an hour before. G throws up all the time, but because his feeding tube bypasses his stomach and goes into his intestine, throwing up his food is not normal. I called and cancelled his school bus,…
Thirty Seven: #NaBloPoMo Day 4
A few weeks ago I turned thirty seven. What a strange age; not quite “almost forty” but far past thirty five. Technically I’ve now been an adult longer than I was a child, although really I was nowhere near an “adult” at 18. It’s a fine age to be, I guess. Meh. Some thoughts from…
Back to Blogging: NaBloPoMo Day 3
I signed up for NaBloPoMo, and I’m both really excited and terrified. I’ve always wanted to do a challenge like this (blogging every day for a solid month, weekends and holidays included) and I know if I succeed, I will be so glad that I did. But for the love, what am I going to…
#NaBloPoMo Day 2 Meets #OneDayHH
More about #NaBloPoMo tomorrow (basically, I’m attempting to post every day this month, including weekends and Thanksgiving Day. Good luck to me, right?)…Today, I participated in Laura Tremain’s One Day project over on Instagram. I’m not a huge Instagram lover, but I love the idea of for one day, documenting with pictures the small, sometimes…
Letters to Nolan: 14 Months
Dear Nolan, I’ve got to be honest, this has been a rough month for you, and consequently, for me. You haven’t been yourself for weeks, and I’m blaming every bit of it on teeth. Teeth we have yet to meet because despite tormenting our family for the past 25 days or so, they have yet…
Letters to Grayson: 6 Years
Dear Grayson, A few weeks ago you turned six years old. Six! You have had so many big changes in your life this past year, and we are all so thankful how well you have transitioned. You got a new brother, we moved, you had another hip surgery and started at a new school all…
Letters to Nolan: 13 Months
Dear Nolan, Hello there, crazy toddler! You are walking (almost running) everywhere now, and life is now crazier, busier, but also so much more fun. You can actually play at the park now, and your favorite thing to do is scale the play structure as fast as you can, while scaring me to death. You…
What Three Means
Three. The year that is lasting forever. The year that is making me laugh and cry, but mostly cry. Having a three year old means I go from moments like this… To this… In a matter of minutes. It means a tiny tornado (er, Charnado) of emotions, demands, and messes. It means never being sure…
What We're Up to Lately
I love when my past blog posts pop up on my TimeHop app, so I really am going to try to be better and updating my blog on the everyday stuff of life that I will surely forget if I don’t write it down. School Updates: Grayson has 2 weeks of Kindergarten under his belt!…
