toddler style: toms boots, old navy floral leggings & hoodie, mama made hadley hat. (Adding the title of this post to my list of memoir slash country album titles.) I mentioned last week that my laptop went on the fritz. I didn't mention that this happened while I had about 16 tabs open (including Hulu)…

heading to the Apple Store because my MacBook Pro went yellow and then blue and then gray yesterday afternoon. I was able to save the most important stuff while in safe mode (safe boot?), but man am I hoping they have a quick fix for me. trying out a learning tower in the kitchen that…

Right after Thanksgiving we picked up our tree and I got the decorations out from the garage. We don't have much – just two small bins, mostly of candles. It's always fun to set everything out though and since I tend to buy all my decorations on sale on December 26th then pack them away…

We don't get many weekends (a full Saturday AND a Sunday?!) with Paul home and just the three of us. So when we do it's the best. I got my big camera out and took photos to celebrate. Per usual, we didn't do much of anything. We took a few walks up to the grocery…

Around here we are settling back into a normal routine. Paul has spent the last four weeks alternating between night and evening shifts which has made the days, nights and evenings a little confusing and disoriented for all three of us. I am so excited to have a partner back for the dinner and bedtime…
