this bag gets packed several times a day with different stuff, usually swimsuits, socks, and shorts library books for the win her shirt matches the pillow still love these stamps painting my toenails and getting a Project Life spread done lifted my spirits all of the stuffed animals and dolls need to be fed choosing new carpet is kind of hard but very exciting on a solo Target trip I bought a $6 full-length mirror the better to take Instagram selfies, of course cross-stitching with 30 Rock  on a walk to fight the no-nap tantrum *** On Friday afternoon as I was wrapping up at work I felt so energized, inspired, and geared up for life in general and the weekend…

quick takes

September 6, 2013

Linking up! These quick takes are super fun to come up with and write, by the way. I recommend them. one Last weekend was a long weekend, which was awesome, and I was super productive at home, with hobbies, and had a bunch of good family time too. So it really is worth it, but man oh man are we paying for it this week at work. Every day is just jam-packed with patients, and as soon as I clock in there are already 2-3 waiting for me. I’m tired is what I’m saying. two We were scheduled to have our anatomy scan yesterday and I was really looking forward to it, but they had to reschedule me to the…

August 30, 2013

Still loving the quick takes around here. Soon I’ll get myself together and make a plan for the blog, but it hasn’t happened yet. one Remember the Book of Lists series I was doing and then unceremoniously dropped? I’m resurrecting it now that I feel like a human again. Since this is a long weekend I should be able to get it together for early next week.

The toddler fussiness has increased throughout the week, and last night I just had to abandon my feeble attempts at cooking dinner to feed her snacks and go on a walk just to get her out of the house and be quiet. She had cheese puffs and a popsicle for dinner, so what? I was so tired afterwards that I didn’t eat anything myself and just went to bed. Two Had this convo with my mom today: I really appreciate how seriously she takes my needs….

around here // tuesday night

August 21, 2013

Last night was a normal night at home, but a pretty good one. I got home a little early, before David brought Meredith home which was kind of nice because I had a chance to get things tidied up (before they got messed up again) and a few things done quickly. I put together a batch of breakfast sandwiches to freeze for the rest of the week, then sat down to check out the state of Project Life. Right now I’m trying to put together the spread for July and I have the photos in place but I need to do the journaling and add the extras. I’ve decided that this monthly spread approach is not working for me because…
