The Reason

I have two confessions today.

#1 The reason I cloth diaper is because they are so cute.

#2 The reason I had kids is so that I would never be alone. The reason I had so many is so that THEY would never be alone.

Kids are good. Xander is getting big as you can see in the photo. Cloth diapering is going well, we are using them 90% of the time. And by we, I mean me. Breastfeeding is going great too. Before long he will be able to eat rice cereal. At about 5-6 months or so. This time I am making my own. And the other day at Target I bought re-usable grocery bags too. Mark asked me what it was like to be so crunchy. I laughed. Though Emma did tell her father he was not doing any help to our environment by getting a plastic bag at the store yesterday. Maybe I am a bit more green than I thought....

My other baby boy will be four in about 2 weeks. FOUR?!?! Where did the time go? Of course that girl of mine will be EIGHT in March......when did I get so old?

OH, Abby, how sweet!!!

I love the diapers, although when he gets older he'll never forgive you for posting pictures of his butt for the whole world to see. LOL

My oldest son will be 4 in a few weeks (well, about 8 weeks) too. But I was just writing things in my planner, and realized that not only will I be 30 this year (ACK!!), but my daughter will be 13. How. Did. That. Happen?

Abby, he is getting so big!!! I absolutely love those diapers! What kind are they??

We cloth diapered Kiddo and I am planning the same for newbie who is coming in April. I need some newborn stuff though and haven't decided what to get. Did anything work better for you? Just curious about your experience.

Thanks for sharing pics. You have a beautiful family.

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show. I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless. I read anyway. Spoilers? Not bothered. Let me give some back story here. At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine. Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar. I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly. I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper. I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing. Who knew? This fu...

I Need A Break Before I Break

Damn. There is so much swirling around in my little brain.....So. Much. I am getting ready to enter my most personally difficult time of the year. Emotionally. I am also entering my most difficult semester (and LAST!) of college. Oh, and trying to train for another half marathon. There are many days as of late that I am not sure how I'm doing it or even why at times. I am trying to keep it together, trying to keep a balance. But sometimes I am not sure I am doing so well. With so many plates to juggle, even if they are ceramic plates, I often feel as though I am dropping one (or more). I am trying to figure out what I want in life. What is important to me. What I need versus what I want. And how it all fits together with various parts of my life. I'm learning that sometimes what you think is important is not so much and things that you didn't pay much mind to are actually more importan...
