Where do I begin? I guess I should start with… myself. Postpartum me. It’s been three weeks and physically I feel fine. The first week I found myself trying to do too much. There’s a reason you’re supposed to rest that 1st week :-/. Between my weakened back and uterine cramps (they worsen after each subsequent… Continue Reading

Summer Memories: Outdoor Party Wristband
July 28, 2012 I never thought I could be all fair’d out, but the evening of July 28th, I found myself worn. We headed to the outdoor party as Jayden calls it, sans bulky purse and DSLR.

Summer Memories: Surreal Beach
July 26, 2012 It had been a straight up annoying week.

The things we do to see him smile.

Summer Memories: The Air Show
Dated 7/8/2012 It was a windy day and I wore a dress that was prone to taking off with the wind. I suppose I should have worn leggings or shorts underneath.

Father’s Day at the Fair, I Think it was the 17th of June
On Father’s Day, we took a trip to the fair. Jayden was so excited to be attending what he called “the outdoor party”. He couldn’t wait to go “’round and ’round”. Before purchasing tickets, we strolled the grounds and took note of the rides Jayden was tall enough for. He’s in the same range as… Continue Reading
To The Strawberry Field
Yesterday, we took a trip to the Strawberry Field for U-Pick. I honestly was expecting it to go smoother than it did, but then again what actually goes smoothly with little’s in tow?

Jayden’s 4th Birthday And Letting Go Of Perfection
I’m realizing more and more that sometimes, I just have to let go. For the past 3 years, I’ve stressed over Jayden’s birthday parties. Family parties. With no kids. I always wanted them to be special though. I always wanted to bake some fancy cake and provide a unique party spread. Last year, I stayed… Continue Reading
Tuesday’s Zoo Visit
Greg: You’re sleeping kind of long, can I get you something? Me: New legs. That was the conversation had as I rolled out of bed Wednesday afternoon. We had taken a trip to Lincoln Park Zoo Tuesday morning*. I covered the Seeds of Change event, and then, we explored the rest of the zoo. The… Continue Reading
