What I Did at School Today

I realized the other day that my self-imposed maternity leave will be coming to an end very soon. And I don’t at all feel prepared to head back to my studio. Frankly, I’m afraid of it. I’m so embarrassed by what you can find down there that I won’t even show you guys pictures. The [...]

No five minutes after hubby left for work this morning the toddler stripped down to socks and a diaper, leaving this pile on the floor. Turns out that clothing is optional at our house for the time being. I’m just glad that he chose to wear a diaper. For some reason, though, the newfound nakedness [...]

The newest member of our family has taken quite well to napping in the bouncey seat. I figured you guys would appreciate an updated photo of the little guy. He’s gained a ton of weight and definitely has his fair share of rolls. No shortage of baby fat has not produced the 7 or 8 [...]
