1. Tiny Toms are on sale on Zulily. Source 2. Too busy today chasing a cute baby around the house. And playing peekaboo. 3. There are dirty dishes in the sink. From yesterday. Maybe a switch to paper? 4. I need to clean the house. Since Owen won't pick up his toys, I have to. 5. I had a date with the pavement and my running shoes. 6. I smashed a spider today. It was a big one. Then I made spider spray. 7. I couldn't think of a list of 10 things to ... View the Post
10 things: homemade baby food
We waited to start Owen on solids until he was 6 months old. His digestive system wasn't quite mature (he was a very very gassy newborn and I didn't feel like he was really ready for solids any sooner.) Up to that point, he had spent time sitting in his high chair, wearing a bib, and playing with his spoon and fork. Just to warm up to the idea. We weren't (rather, aren't) in any hurry to wean him onto solids, breast milk is still his main source of nutrition. Breast is normal (I avoid the ... View the Post
10 things: mama & baby @ 6 months
Half a year already? No! It can't be!! I blinked and this happened. Mama @ 6 months: At six-months post-partum, I'm feeling fantastic. I've been below my pre-baby weight for a few months now (thanks to breastfeeding, clean eating, and exercise). Wahoo!! But the number on the scale is just a number.

10 things : I’m loving right now
One thing I'm not loving right now is a little thing called the 4 month sleep regression. Go away, sleep regression. No one invited you. Me = zombie. Am I right? But I still have a really cute baby who loves zombie me anyway. That being said, if this post makes no sense, purple sparkle ice cream and fluffy trees. Moving right along to your regular scheduled programming... April's 10 things post is things that I'm currently loving. I love writing these posts. If you have something that is ... View the Post
10 things: a photography assignment
Thank you all so much for the feedback on the deployment homecoming photos! I was so privileged to photograph such a momentous occasion. The gratitude for our service men and women that you shared with me was incredible. You guys rock. This month's ten things highlight ten photos that I've taken for assignments in a photography class I'm taking. I still have a lot to learn but I've had fun and absorbed so much already. All photos have minimal editing (I used Lightroom 4), as my goal was ... View the Post
