:: Mommy Goggles ::
Parenthood has changed every possible facet of my life.
Which, actually, I knew that it would. I knew that becoming a mommy would take it’s toll on my life, my daily routine, even personal hygiene (TMI?). But I guess that’s where KNOWING and EXPERIENCING are two totally separate things.
I have loved the song...

:: mother’s day giveaway!! ::
Ok people, here it is, my first ever MOTHER’S DAY GIVEAWAY! Maybe it’s because, heading into my second Mother’s Day as a mom myself, I have a HUGE appreciation form moms in general, or maybe because I’m restless and ready for a switch-up to my May, but either way, one lucky mom out...

:: Kids = Destroyers of All Things Rational ::
Can you believe it? I mean seriously, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?! My sweet, tiny little baby boy has turned into a straight up toddler.
Ok, in the grand scheme of things, I suppose that 15 months isn’t that long of a time. I mean, there are pieces of...
:: the TRUTH about motherhood : part 11 : happy valentine’s day ::
I know, I know. Valentine’s Day isn’t actually a happy day for everyone. To be honest, we don’t actually really celebrate it in our home very much. Now before all you conversation-heart-loving people pass out from lack of oxygen due to your GASPS OF HORROR (kidding) (kind of), we have very good reasons. Hallmark-created-the-holiday-to-sell-cards arguments...

:: To My Lovely Child ::
I hardly know words to write to you, baby boy. I love you, but that doesn’t seem enough. I adore you. Every morning since you were 10 weeks old I’ve woken to the sounds of your babbling to yourself. When I walk into you room in the morning or after...

:: An Ode to My (Former) Body ::
I gained 27 lbs during my pregnancy and I reached my pre-pregnancy weight 2 weeks after I gave birth to Cameron. Sounds like an accomplishment right? Maybe, but let me just say that pre-pregnancy weight has nothing to do with pre-pregnancy shape. Some objects definitely shifted during take-off...

:: Fall & Change ::
This is my favorite season, hands down. Hands down, people. I love the smell of rain in the air (when we get it out here in Southern California), I love pumpkin spice lattes, I love Thanksgiving, I love scarves and coats and mixing the color orange with purple and brown and...

:: Memory Loss ::
I’ve been meaning to write a new TTAM post for a while (yeah, I just acronymed it, don’t judge), but I could never remember what I was going to write it about. Then I lost or nearly lost THREE client payments. Then I nearly lost a cf card with un-archived images from...
:: six months, office organization, & sneak peeks ::
Oh my goodness he’s cute! Even if I am biased here people, you have to admit, that is one stinkin’ cute kiddlette! It’s been an amazing 6 month journey so far. It’s really really hard to comprehend how much time has actually passed. It’s August people! How did that happen? So if you recall, I...
