I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

Here’s what I’ve been seeing at about 8-8:30 every morning this past week or so. Yes, Tommy has finally adjusted to daylight savings time, and Mommy has been getting to have a quiet time and a shower before starting up morning diaper duty!

Derek found an alternate method of transferring our photos! So today, we decided to hit up the free outdoor ice skating rink down in Millennium Park. It was Tommy’s first time on skates, and he lasted about half an hour. Our backs were done for after all that leaning over (he doesn’t have the balance […]

Well, yesterday Tommy managed to lose his winter hat (maybe during the temper tantrum on the sidewalk on Western Ave while I was unlocking our car?) and demagnetize our flash card reader (why did he think sticking dimes into the computer was a good idea?). So no new pictures of my productive dude until my […]

Tommy’s getting a decent pair of shoes for his Christmas present (he loves putting on shoes, and so far he has been wearing garage sale finds), so today we checked out Piggy Toes, a children’s boutique specializing in shoes. I am such a sucker for children’s boutiques, even if I can’t afford their merchandise! Tommy […]

I’m really struggling right now with a decision that I will share once I’ve really decided, but the gist is that I’m having a hard time feeling that my calling as a stay-at-home mom is worthy enough. Oh, I know it is, but when you’re disciplining for temper tantrums 20 times a day and seeing […]
I have 13 pregnant mommies on my prayer list (some of whom read this blog), so I think it’s probably a good time to blog about something I’m really passionate about–and something that follows up on yesterday’s post on fighting the culture of death! We donated Tommy’s umbilical cord blood, and we’re planning to donate this […]

I was incapacitated with a cold earlier this week, and the only way I managed to keep Tommy in one place, out of mischief, was to pull up some videos from his first birthday party. He asked to put on my headset, too, so he sat on my lap looking like a little computer nerd and […]

It’s BEW-tiful today, as Phronsie Pepper would say, and we’re just itching to go to the playground. So why are we inside blogging? Because our furnace is on the fritz (apparently we were pumping carbon monoxide into the basement) and our landlord supposedly is sending someone over today. We have to be here to let […]
