our beautiful everydays
we’ve spent the last almost 5 years doing just what we wanted- when we wanted. we’ve spent spring days in the grass smelling flowers and dirt and feeling our skin warm in the sun. we’ve spent hot summer days in the park for hours filling shoes with sand and duck bellies with bread crumbs. in the fall we walked […]
this day can end now
i hate hate hate raising my voice at my children but i find myself going there at least once a day lately. it’s been a trying past couple of hours with non-stop fighting and crying and demanding between the two of them and i know it doesn’t help to join in and escalate the situation. […]
princess chloe
chloe loves princesses and tea parties. so for her birthday coming up in april we’re having a…you guessed it…princess tea party birthday. (don’t get me started on the fact that my tiny baby is turning 3 because that’s just not even possible) it seems strange that i’m already planning her party in february but this […]
illustrations
i want to start doing some kind of illustrations of noah and chloe. i’m not sure how to begin. i love love love taking photos of them but i’ve always been into the process of taking an image from one set of materials to another. i mean, of course i have big ideas for them […]
“thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes..”
i’m so grateful to have noah and chloe. somewhere amidst the bickering, bothering, crying, and general frustration of being a mom to two toddlers are moments of pure happiness.
missed them
yesterday i had the first alone day that have had in a very long time. no noah, no chloe, no husband. just me and you know what? it wasn’t that great. the highlight of the day was when emily stopped by and brent showed up with lunch. i watched a movie from start to finish […]
we went for a walk in the park yesterday and fed the ducks. we raced and they picked tiny flowers from the blooming tree branches. chloe couldn’t reach and noah would proudly place them in her hands. it made her so happy. i love to watch them together.
it was a little chilly but we don’t […]
“tomorrow may rain with sorrow. here’s a little time we can borrow”
i took one step out our front door to test the weather today and…..warmth! sunny happy coatless warmth.
i didn’t hesitate to toss the kids in the stroller and take off. i didn’t really want to go to the park and face the swarms of people that i knew would be there on such an outside […]
no sleep{as usual}and spring art
noah has decided he doesn’t need naps anymore. i disagree. he hasn’t taken one in a couple of weeks and that makes me sad.
he sleeps good at night and i’m thankful for that but i miss having a moment to myself during the day. what makes it worse is that that by 6 pm he […]
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 […]
