So, even though we moved Zu up to Nora’s room in August, the rest of her belongings (and wall art) finally made the trek upstairs this past weekend. Everyone was happy. Namely me, because Susannah doesn’t really let too much faze her. Here’s a few pix of the finished Big Girls’ Room, which is something I like to call Carnival Chic, or Mom Has Nostalgia, or Gosh- Those Kids Have A Lot Of Things: I’m pretty thrilled with how nicely {Read More}
Back To School Isn’t All Fun And Games.

Apparently, one kid at the table suggested the word “sad” and the hordes of impressionable classmatesall chimed in with ME, TOO! I asked Nora if she was really sad- she said, “Not really.

Happy Labor Day, friends! Hope you get to spend it doing exactly what you wanna do. (But maybe in your own bed, yeah?)

Yesterday was a tough day. It even started out tough. Despite my best (read: productive/attention/motherly) efforts, the girls were just feeling crazy. Like- wild, bickery, rambunctious, independent crazy. All throughout the morning, Nora responded to my requests of helping me straighten this part of her room/putting stuff back on that shelf/stop pulling even more things out of drawers by neeeeeding to play with that/taking things from the shelf/removing things from drawers. And Zu? Well, my darling youngest punctuated her independent proclamations {Read More}

Sometimes, after a long week of posting about cancer (and how you inadvertently flash your thong at church), it’s nice to see some pictures of baybees being all cute: Fun factoid: Their swimsuits are interchangeable. That’s right, my 1.5 and 3.5 year olds wear the same swimmies. “I’m not tired. I’m just gonna sit here. Sideways. With my eyes closed. For an hour and a half. NOT TIRED.” Oh, Zu, it’s not that bad. A moment before she made the {Read More}

Summer is practically- finally- beating down our [screen] door. And what better way to celebrate than with the girls’ best friend- and favorite neighbor gal! One of us is veeery thrilled to be sitting with the Big Girls. Tell us another one, Em. I swear I did not pose this. It’s not summer until you visit the ice cream truck and the fish pond in the same trip. Sittin’ on the stoop, housing some soft serve. And I just added this pic {Read More}
