I thought I would get sick sooner in the school year, but here we are, my first cold of the fall. And I didn’t even catch it from Freya, I’m pretty sure it was Audrey’s snotty little face. Good thing she’s so freakin adorable. Anyway it’s hit with full force today. Stuffy and sleepy oh […]

thinking about colors a lot

+ Thrift store score of the week: Four heavy glass bottles — two cobalt blue, two emerald green. Heavy, solid, and relatively petite, I think I will place them on top of a cabinet as kitchen decor. Ten dollars. + The new oven and stove perform significantly better than the old model. Even, reliable, hot […]
baby fat

Audrey is so very plump. Perhaps at the peak of her plumpness, her arms and legs wrapped in deep, soft rolls and creases. She gorges herself on milk and burns very few calories doing her hitched crawl around the room. I observed that the second front incisor has now worked its way through the gum, […]
on her own

This morning I rose at six and went downstairs to sit in the quiet living room reading a book and drinking coffee. I had the baby monitor tuned to listen to Audrey sleeping, and Brian was working in his office. At about quarter past seven, I heard the bedroom door upstairs opening, and assumed it […]
tidy

This weekend I finished a couple of cleaning projects that have been on my list for a while: tidy and organize the downstairs closet, and swap out winter coats/shoes/scarves/hats for spring ones. The closet was a mess, had gotten to the point where we were just opening the door and throwing things inside. I basically […]
mommy

“Mommy.” I heard Freya’s voice from down the hall. I was awake — seems like I always am in some state of wakefulness. I don’t know what time it was. The baby was asleep next to me, having just nursed back down, and seemed pretty still, so I crept away and went to Freya’s room. […]
tough time

Both girls are sick, coughing, runny noses, and little baby had a fever all night. I put a humidifier in Freya’s room in the hopes it might help her chest. She complicated things last night by goofing around on her bed and slamming the back of her head into the nightstand. Audrey was restless all […]
what we did today

I got up before seven as I usually do, and drank my hot coffee while catching up on Community and Parks & Rec on the Tivo. Let Freya sleep in. Then we all ate breakfast together, dressed, and Freya and I went together to Bainbridge Island while Brian stayed home with the baby. We drove […]
love

Tuesdays and Fridays, like I told ya. Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. I hadn’t been feeling very into it this year, except for Freya’s sake of course. She also needed seventeen Valentine cards for her preschool class, so we worked on that Wednesday night. I love my husband dearly, but he really spoiled me for my […]
