give it up
since noah’s first birthday i’ve been giving him and chloe big parties. i spend large amounts of time, money, effort and invite everyone who means something to us. but here’s the thing. chloe’s 2nd birthday is on the horizon and i feel a change is coming. i just don’t think i want to do it […]
breaking up with the microwave popcorn
i love love popcorn and so does chloe. we actually eat it every day. then this was brought to my attention. if it takes an enormous amount to actually be dangerous we probably passed that amount long ago. everything causes cancer..but this was an easy fix.
i’ve heard you can throw some kernels in a brown […]
maybe i made it sound a little too good?
when i talked to noah about losing baby teeth and getting brand new big boy teeth i must have done a really good job. because yesterday i pulled him off the banister and told him he could bump that tooth and it might come right out. he told me he wants his teeth to come […]
i spoke too soon- noah’s tooth is dead.
so after an x-ray at the dentist we found out noah actually did kill his tooth when he fell 6 months ago and that he will lose it early. he said if it wasn’t capped we would see that it had turned gray.
poor boy should not have to lose one of his front teeth at […]
dentist woes
taking noah to the dentist for a cleaning today. i think they are going to be surprised by how well his teeth have lined back up. when he fell off of a kitchen chair and bashed them in…i never thought they were going to look okay again and they pretty much said not to expect […]
peeking in the keyhole

noah and chloe hid under the blankets and took turns hiding behind closed doors and peeked at each other through the keyholes. they jumped on the bed taking turns with the fairy wings. the big bed- where some nights we all end up in a pile (okay, more […]
movies i watched today
what i learned from nights in rodanthe: if you have fantasy whirlwind passionate romance by the sea, then your love could also die in a mudslide working as a doctor in equador. that’s just how it is. i tried hard not to let this movie see me cry.
what i learned from the barbie mariposa […]
playing in the sun

need. more. sun.
we like to play in the sun that comes through our kitchen windows. we dance in it, jump through it, find objects that we think will look lovely in it.
i actually like winter and i love snow.
but we are ready for spring. more walks(even […]
pouring resin
i’m going to try my first resin pouring experiment. even though i’ve sworn before never to use it because of how toxic it is. i have used way too many toxic products and processes throughout art school and safe seems better at this point. however, i need something strong and really long lasting for a […]
deep inside you’re broken
i’m doing whatever i can to avoid thinking about tomorrow. my brother’s birthday. the first of many that we will celebrate without him. pizza, m&m’s, strawberry cupcakes- in honor a person who is no longer here.
everyday symbols of someone we love.
reminders that an entire 30 years of person is gone and he should be turning […]
