Our Bugs Journey & the Woods
Today was no ordinary, run-of-the-mill Monday. Not by a long shot... It felt as if the Gods/Goddesses of the Universe smiled upon us! My afternoon at work was lovely; I'm settling in to the position of legal administrative assistant even more, and thus am finding my own rhythm. This was also the first afternoon leaving...

As I snuggle up next to this sweet little boy, my heart is truly overflowing with joy. Sure I could go to my own bed, but why not cuddle down beside him instead. Life is usually so busy, we nearly never get time alone, so I must take advantage of this time before you're grown.... Continue Reading →
Over the past couple of months, I have developed the habit of talking to myself...not out loud!! (at least not most of the time 😉 ) But rather, inside my head. I'm not certain precisely when I began doing this without having to think about doing it...but I've definitely been dialoguing with my inner self... Continue Reading →
After only 2 days of getting Evy accustomed to the potty, he did it!!!! Tonight, just before bed, our big little man peed on the potty successfully! He even followed it up with a super clear celebratory "I did it!", and also some "yay!"s!!! This is all I can say, YAY!!!! Shortest blog post yet,... Continue Reading →
Remember the good old adage: sometimes you "can't see the forest for the tress"? Well I certainly do, and it rang true for me this weekend! As improbable as it is for people outside of our little family of 5 to really know what the details of daily life are like in our household, particularly... Continue Reading →
Today, I ventured out to WalMart with Evy and Lydia on my own. This may be only the 2nd time that I have ever attempted to run an errand with these two, without Scott along with me. Cody and Evy? Yup, they're no problem. Cody himself is even a big help, sometimes! Cody and Lydia?... Continue Reading →
I awoke this morning to a gentle kiss on my cheek, and a whispered "I love you" from my hubby. Since I am quite well-known for being a grumpy-bear first thing in the morning before coffee, he quickly follows that up with: "You don't have to get up yet, I just thought you might be...

I just want to take a few moments to commemorate this day. It was 1 in a million. It was extraordinary...and it was also a very normal day. Everything I have wished for, I experienced today. Life being as fluid as it is, tomorrow will be a whole new day full of new challenges &... Continue Reading →
The art of granting oneself grace, of having some self-compassion, doesn't come naturally to me...I'm more inclined to be hard on myself. (I think that many of us are that way! The old adage of "being your own worst critic" can be pretty accurate) But finally, as 2018 progresses, I can confidently say that I... Continue Reading →
I don't know exactly when this began...I can't pinpoint a day when it started happening...all I know that is the last week or so, Evy is different. If I slow myself down enough and LISTEN more closely to our darling Bug (taking my cue from him instead of getting my mind stuck on our list... Continue Reading →
