Sous Chef
During Elijah’s nap time today, I had this idea that I should get him to help bake this blueberry sour cream strudel that I had been wanting to make for at least a week. So I promptly pulled out all the ingredients and waited patiently for my sous chef
I think he had […]
Give Me More!
Things I can’t seem to get enough of this week:
Sleep
I am sleepy and mopey all the time. It’s starting to make me feel sad and weak. For weeks, I’ve felt boundless energy considering. Now, it’s been swept away. I just checked and I have 11 more days in my second trimester. (Holy cow, that’s fast!) […]
Craigs.list Virgin
Woohoo!
I posted my first item (our wooden filing cabinet that we stained ourselves) on Craigs.list this morning at 6 am and almost immediately got 9 responses. I am super happy to report that I was able to sell it to the first person for my original asking price. She offered less but I stuck to […]
Fun Weekend
This WAHM had a wonderful weekend and I am so sad to see it come to an end!
Saturday after making stuffed Blueberry French Toast (out of our Weight Watcher’s cookbook, no less) we took a family walk down the street. Half way down the block, we met up with Grandma Alice (Elijah’s […]
Chaotically Blasé
Is that possible?
For the past 3 to 4 weeks I feel like our our house has been a complete disaster scene. We emptied the back bedroom so that Handyman Mr. John could tape and float the cracks and repaint the walls and ceiling. In the meantime, our dining room looked like this:
I guess […]

My laptop went out the other day. I say it went out but really I don’t want to pay the $400+ to fix it right now. I was never completely happy with it anyway. So for now it sits on my great-aunt’s buffet table with a dead battery. I have resorted […]

Fran and I often talked how we want to raise our children with responsibilities and chores. Fran was raised not having to do chores while I knew each week that I had to dust and bring down the trash the night before trash day.
Something that I have worked on from day #1 as a WAHM […]
Hallelujah!
1. I have a temporary laptop from work so my plunge forward begins tonight!
2. The boy sleeps! I am at 1.5 hours right now. Of course, I could have spent this time working, but nooooo… This girl had to get her internet junkie fix! I did however set up my development site on this new […]
Woohoo and yet no…
YEA! I fixed our database errors. Yes, I should be working but I couldn’t concetrate with this looming over my head
I had a wonderful post and title this morning as Elijah and I went for our “daily constitutional walk” as Grandma Alice called it, but of course I can’t remember any of it now […]
Necessity is the Mother of Invention
Friday afternoon, Elijah and I were doing our usual cleaning. I decided to throw a load in the washing machine and I was surprised when it turned off suddenly. Did the large load usually take longer than that?! Hmph! I went and thought may be I forgot to push the button. So I pushed it […]

This weekend I had our largest garage sale ever planned. It’s been in the works since April. I had boxes of items that I had been setting aside and diligently putting price tags on each item for sale and creating (suprise, suprise!) a spreadsheet to itemize the merchandise. I estimated that if we sold everything […]

Okay, okay… Today for real is the first day of Elijah and Mama at home together. Thus far, we’ve had a great day.
Elijah had two eggs with two slices of cheddar cheese and about 10 or so green beans and his V8 fruit/veggie juice and milk. Earlier in the morning he snuck snips of our […]
16 Week Sentiments
Overall, I feel that I have had very mild pregnancy symptoms. Luckily I never faced morning sickness, unless I waited a minute too long to eat. My exhaustion/energy level and quickly growing breasts were the only things that seemed truly apparent. Within the last week though my emotions are running high and my ability to eat […]

Monday was my first day as a WAHM. It was in a word: AWESOME! I know not every day will be that way, but I am so grateful that my first day was good.
Now a disclaimer - I didn’t have the baby with me… So I was super productive
I set my alarm for […]
Catching Up
Once again, the longer I stay away, the harder it is to come back! So here’s a core dump :)
Things are going swimmingly! Our son is just growing by leaps and bounds every day! It’s just so incredible to see it happening. He carries on his little conversations with us with a combination of sign and […]
