A few nights ago I was sitting between my sleeping babies, awake. Israel was gone. I had nothing to do but go to sleep. And I was tired. So that's what I did. But before I went to bed I had to get past my urge to write. Usually, when my babies are asleep and … Continue reading even while we rest.

Be Kind. And Naps.
Some days I feel like I just need this permanently etched in my skin. Love is kind. Love is kind. Love is kind. Today was one of those days. I didn't think to get my pen out and actually give myself a visual today. I should have. My patience starts to wear thin when the … Continue reading Be Kind. And Naps.
sleep these days. . .
(Ranger found this app...i had never used it before. Lol.) Apparently adding another baby to the house is a big deal for the now dethroned youngest of the family.

We have been home more than 2 weeks and he still has not returned to … Continue reading No cry sleep situation: episode 4.
habits, no auto save feature, and thrifting
The lad is finally asleep. He clucked and squawked and shrieked so much that I gave up for a while and read while he calmed down playing in his crib. It's one of those lessons in baby I wonder if I'll ever figure out. Or he'll ever figure out. Who's responsible for making the baby … Continue reading habits, no auto save feature, and thrifting
Day 21: successful day of refreshing my life.
I am ridiculously tired today. Sometime between getting back from our trip on thursday and this afternoon, Ranger decided he'd rather not take naps (unless maybe if we work really hard to make him) and he's stuck on Georgia time. Meaning he wakes up at 6 AM and by the time his normal bedtime rolls … Continue reading Day 21: successful day of refreshing my life.
