A baby has a special way of bringing joy to every single day

Diaper-Free

A friend once told me she knew she was a real mom the day she started talking casually about her daughter’s bowel movements. I thought pushing a baby out was a pretty good sign too, but here I am talking about my daughter’s bathroom habits.
We EC with Meredith. To me, EC is basically recognizing [...]

My Garden

When we moved in last year, our backyard was a mess. It still is, but it’s starting to look better. I have to be honest, I dreaded gardening. To me, gardening is being stuck outside in the hot sun being told to weed because it’s too hot for my dad to want [...]

Random Stuff

First off, I’ve decided to drop the anonymity. I’ve spoken to my husband about it and he agrees there’s probably not much point. You still won’t find me publishing my address or phone number here, but I’d like to occasionally share pictures or video too. So, hi! I’m Lindsay, my husband is [...]

Off to a wedding

I’m off to a wedding this weekend.  It should be interesting, to say the least. The cousins on that side of the family are all really close (we spent every summer together), and it’s one of them who is getting married.  Plus, my sisters will be there (they live in Alberta so I don’t see [...]

New Job

Back in March Kris applied for a job at another company. He really loves the company he works for now, and they love him, but they’re a small company and, unfortunately, just can’t compete with larger ones. Kris has been working on a project as the lead (and the sole) developer for over 2 [...]

Blog Anonymity

Okay two posts today, but this one is short.  I’ve been thinking about whether I want my blog to be anonymous or not.  Obviously, it started out that way, but more because it’s easier to go unanon than vice versa if I changed my mind.  Mostly I wanted to be anon because of a few [...]

Happy Anniversary to Me

Yesterday was our anniversary. It was our 2 year wedding anniversary, but just over 9 years of being together. We went out for dinner, I made lemon bars (D2’s favorite), and otherwise we were very low key. We don’t really do the big, fancy gifts or anything. So in the morning I went [...]

You’ll See…

I think this has got to be one of the phrases that most grates on my nerves. Parents and kids are not all cookie cutter copies of each other, yet other parents often seem to think that all parents will think just as they do about their kids’ actions.
I first heard it before Bebe [...]

Scary Woodland Creatures

D2, Bebe, and I go for a walk every night before bed. It’s gotten to the point that when Bebe is tired at night she will point to the mei tei and gets really excited as I put it on. At first, we would just wander through the streets, up to a big [...]

Update

Well, I haven’t posted in a couple of months. Mostly because I decided I’m not a very good writer anyway and it’s doubtful anyone even reads this. But in reality I’m writing this more for myself to look back on than for anyone else so I’ve decided to keep it up again, at least [...]
