Superwife: Not so super for a while there… But I’m back!

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

Well, this is LONG overdue. Thank you all so much for not pressuring me to tell this story before I was ready… so, without further ado, here is Jamie’s beautiful birth story. And the aftermath. I went into labor on a Thursday afternoon. I didn’t know it until about 6 hours later when my contractions had strengthened [...]

SUPERTHANKYOU!!!

On Becoming a Supermom – For Amanda

Friday, August 24th, 2012

My beautiful daughter has a white hand-crocheted blanket that she is in love with – it’s her “security” blankie. It was made with love by her great-aunt Jana, and Ellie is absolutely enamored with it. On mornings when she hasn’t quite woken up enough, or when she’s having a “mommy” day, or just when she’s feeling particularly vulnerable, I let [...]

Super-versary: 4 Years!

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

Adam and I were laughing the other day at the fact that we’ve only been married 4 years, yet we sit in separate recliners in the living room, sleep with a pillow barricade between us in our king-sized bed, and spend 2-3 nights per week away from eachother. I think a lot of people would [...]

It’s hard work growing a… baby.
