obsessed with refrigerator oatmeal.

May 16, 2013

I feel kind of like an impostor posting something about food because everyone should know by now that I am not a foodie or a cook by any means. BUT maybe that gives me cred in a weird sort of way? Like, if this works for ME then it could easily work for you? Regardless, here goes. I used to be obsessed with cereal. I’d eat it for breakfast, dinner, snack, anytime I could get it. Then something happened when I got pregnant and I don’t like the feeling of that much milk on my stomach anymore. And I realized that cereal is basically just sugar; even the healthy kinds are not that healthy. In the hospital when I gave birth to Meredith I…

Messy House Tour

September 8, 2012

This morning I let Meredith run wild in the house because I just could not deal. Usually I clean up as she goes but today I just left it all and decided to shoot a video of the mess she made. It actually wasn’t as bad as expected.

Some Goals, Sort Of

March 22, 2012

Recently, in my coffee-less state (this is important because everything seems worse without coffee), I have started to feel a growing discontent with some areas of my life. Not major things, but little things. I’ve kind of hit a plateau in a lot of areas and it’s bringing me down.

I’m pleased to report that I remember how to do everything, and not only that but I am more awesome at it than before.

Cloth Diapers, Nursery Progress, & Other Domestic Updates

September 5, 2011

Contrary to the way my I have portrayed myself, I don’t actually sit around watching TV day in and day out. The arrival of a baby to this house has actually awoken my hibernating nesting instinct! So here are some domestic updates for you, aka boring things that I’m now excited about. Meredith is wearing cloth diapers now! At a little over ten pounds, she finally fits into her small Fuzzibunz. She’s been wearing them for about a week now and I love it SO much. I was worried about the transition, but it has been extremely easy! Honestly, I would choose cloth diapers just because of how much fun it is for me, to say nothing about the money-and-planet-saving…
