vintage

I scored this little black leather Coach bag from Etsy today. It was relatively cheap (I’ve seen them go for even less, but I’ve also seen them sell for a LOT more) for a somewhat unusual bag. Two annoying things though: the seller of course described the bag as “vintage”, which is supposed to mean […]

july third

Our town has its fireworks show on July 3rd every year, presumably so that people can also go to the Seattle one, if they want. Or, just to be all different. We are going to watch the show from Christina’s front yard tonight — she has a perfect view of the bay below her street. […]

microlist

There is so much shit to do around the house. The only way I feel like I can motivate myself, or not feel overwhelmed, is to make a micro list. A regular to-do list would say things like “clean the kitchen,” or worse, “clean the house.” That’s too nebulous. A micro list breaks it up […]

noise

Construction on the road behind our back fence has begun and will continue all summer. Chainsaws. They chopped down a row of trees next to the soccer field. Not sure why they had to do that just to build a sidewalk — there was more than enough space. Now I hear them shouting and throwing […]

baby time all the time

Well I got those glasses yesterday and decided to exchange them for a different pair, a pair I tried on at the optometrist and liked a lot. They are slightly more expensive, but only by $50. Here’s a pic. Still black plastic Fendis, just a different shape and the stems are different, too. Blah blah […]

deal of the century

Today we took a trip across the Sound to where I grew up, Snohomish County. Brian wanted to bring some dinner to a friend of his whose wife gave birth a few weeks ago. They have another daughter who is almost Freya’s age and it was cute to see the two of them together. Freya […]

weird

Feeling off today. I think the sleep deprivation is starting to erode my brain. Last night when we went to bed, I tried to soothe and cuddle Freya to sleep without nursing and she was not having it. She had already been nursing, but not sleeping, just kind of thrashing around the way toddlers do, […]

foulweather bluff

Such a beautiful warm Sunday we had. We went out to a small and hidden away beach with Christina and her son Evan, a beach which was deserted and required a short hike through a pretty green forest. So magical. Freya had to play in the sand for a while, then I took her down […]

rocking chair

When I was pregnant, I became obsessed with the notion that I needed some kind of rocking chair or glider for nursing. Now of course that is a totally laughable concept. I’m sure a very good glider chair might be nice to have while nursing but it’s by no means a necessity. It was among […]

happy birthday greg

Here is the card I made for my brother He’s a professional musician 🙂 It’s funny… he is one of the few people I know who has made a career out of the thing they love and are talented at. He’s so lucky for that! Yesterday I took Freya over to my dad’s house, where […]
