Typing with one hand here (story of my life these days…)
Reed turned two months old today! We celebrated with his first hike in the woods, which he mostly slept through in his Ergo carrier. Part of me can’t believe he is already this old while another part feels like I’ve known him forever. The past [...]
I can hardly believe that Reed is going to be 1 month old in just 4 days! Where has the time gone? It’s amazing how the hours pass when you have a baby. You blink your eyes and it’s 10 pm and you realize that you’ve done nothing you’d planned to do that day because [...]
I’m happily over the stomach bug from hell, but am definitely at the point in this pregnancy where I’m pretty much uncomfortable all the time. It’s become hard to do most of the things I’d taken for granted in the past, like picking stuff up off the floor, eating a full meal, walking without pain, [...]

Adam recently wrote about the distaster we had in our downtairs bathroom when the ceiling started leaking — leading to a giant hole in the ceiling once our plumber was finished with it. Turns out, the leak had nothing to do with our plumbing and everything to do with our roof. When we got our [...]

I can’t believe we’re less then 8 weeks away from my due date. It’s CRAZY! I was so ahead of the game in terms of baby preparations at one point, but have definitely fallen behind since getting into the third trimester. I knew I’d need to slow down by this point, but I’m shocked by [...]
I’d been painstakingly renovating the entire house getting ready for baby. One of the last rooms to finish was the guest bathroom, which was really dumpy.
New wallpaper, cabinet hardware, and a coat of paint made a major difference. Or rather it would have.
As I was victoriously applying the very last bit of paint to the [...]
I have been accused by many readers of not contributing heavily to our personal blog. What? Why… I never!
Actually, it is probably true. I’ve got dozens of lame excuses, but the reality is I’m just not as expressive as Meredith.
With a new baby on the way, I think Meredith was hoping it would cause [...]
On a day where the temperature is was well below zero, one can sometimes question why they live in such a harsh climate. Fortunately, we had a lovely reminder on this sunny but frigid morning as we woke up to chickadees, squirrels and a deer and her fawn relaxing in our yard. Yes, this is [...]
I was talking to my dad recently and he told me that he and my mom had never really talked about what sort of parents they wanted to be when my brother and I were born (which explains a lot since he and my mother were rarely on the same page when it came to [...]
I have been a ridiculously loyal customer of Pottery Barn since I moved into my first apartment. My sofa, my coffee and side tables, my entire bedroom set, every single one of my light fixtures, my towels (and more)… all Pottery Barn. We registered there for our wedding four years ago. When I want good [...]
