July, in short, was a wild ride. It was packed to the brim, not just with activities but also with emotions. It was crazy and definitely one for the books. Let's start off at the end of July with some of our craziest happenings: We moved back to Alaska! Yes, this is as crazy and … Continue reading July
To speak my truth: I don't really love the GBOMB approach to monthly reviews. There. I said it. I love posting a monthly review. I love remembering the stuff I did that month. I love looking through the pictures. But I hate having to think up stuff that fits in the "Bad" category. Life can … Continue reading June
May was totally packed. I think about Ben's graduation (which happened in the middle of the month) and it feels like several months have passed. We've had some serious ongoing uncertainty but the month was filled with family and fun which has been an awesome distraction. Good We've been with extended family basically the whole month … Continue reading May Review
Hey! I actually sewed something! I've had a heck of a time getting my act together on any and all crafting projects lately. Part of it has to do with my unpredictable newborn schedule...and part of it has to do with the fact that we cleaned everything up for guests to come and I'm not … Continue reading Sew Together Bag
This has been one FULL month! I even hesitate to do a GBOMB because how can anything be better than having a fresh, new baby to snuggle. And how can anything be truly Blah when I've been blessed with this beautiful little family of mine? Just know that having a baby makes me feel ALL … Continue reading April 2018
She's here! Our sweet little baby number 2 is here and we are in love! We named her Greta Jean. We had a hard time choosing a name this time around but Greta was a name that we kept coming back to and, when she was born, we knew it fit. And Jean is after … Continue reading She’s Here!
Good This month has been blessedly busy. I'm so glad I've had stuff to do to keep me from focusing too much on the fact that I'm waiting for a baby. Ben had his spring break last week and it was so nice to have him home. I feel like I got a ton of … Continue reading March 2018
Belly: I'm huge. Well, technically I'm measuring right where I should be. But I feel huge. Exercise: I'm still running! Which is a huge miracle! Okay, and "running" is certainly not the most accurate term for what happens after I strap on my Sauconies. It's more of a waddle/jog (a joggle?). I don't go far and I walk if … Continue reading Third Trimester: 37 Weeks
Good This month has been really chill. When I started brainstorming my GBomb, I thought, "What did happen in February?" And I'm just going to count that in and of itself a good thing. So Wendy has been saying words for awhile now, but pretty much only if she's prompted. But the other day she finished … Continue reading February 2018
Good Ben didn't start school until after MLK Jr. Day so we had a few weeks to just kind of relax and spend time more time with each other than normal. We took advantage by going to the Out of Africa Park and on hikes and just taking it easy. It was really nice. We … Continue reading January 2018
