We were out of milk for breakfast this morning and so Felicity and I ran to the gas station before anyone else was up. (Remember? My family consists of numerous sleeper-inners.)I like to go on errands with Felicity. She is such a cheerful sprite of a gal—a wee little but and I just love her.Note to Non-Native Speakers: But is a French-Canadian term … [Read more...]

Come Away to a Quiet Place
This morning I got my sad sorry bottom onto the treadmill for a jog. (I know much better than to call it a run.) It was the first time in…oh…Let’s see.When was Anthony conceived again?I blame my current inactivity (read: sloth) in part on some postpartum issues. Simply stated, it hurt to run, and I’m wondering if it was at least partly due to the … [Read more...]

Stopping to Smell the “Roses”
If it’s possible to slow down at the same time that we’re speeding along, then that is what we’ve been doing. There’s never an end to the work to be done—and I’m sorry to have to tell you that, but there’s just not—yet still, there’s an attitude of gratitude that makes all the difference.I’m getting all mushy on you, aren’t I?Okay, I’ll stop.We … [Read more...]

Back from Camp
Okay, so co-sleeping (with an infant) (on a twin bed) (in a sleeping bag) proved to be less than idyllic. Still, the rest of the weekend was dreamy!Nasty mosquitoes notwithstanding.Hey, it’s Minnesota!Full post is pending the success of this morning’s caffeine drip. In the meantime, you may read more about this camp if you’d like:Family Camp … [Read more...]
Out on a Limb
Anthony has reached the six weeks’ mark and my life? Well, it’s chaotic.I joke to my friends that I’m hanging by a thread domestically, and they laugh and have no idea that you know what? I’m really serious.I made my bed this morning for the first time in six weeks. That’s how serious I am.Yes, we are going through one of those tricky times of … [Read more...]
