Off to bed, but first...
those recipes.. if I don’t do it now I’ll never do it…
The Minestrone Soup was great! The recipe is from Clean Eating Magazine. (So LJ you probably already have this recipe since you told me about this magazine… after you mentioned it my neighbor had an extra copy and gave it to me.) It says it only takes 15 minutes of hands on time and 35 minutes total.. it lied. Too much...
Transitions
“Nothing is secure but life, transition, the energizing spirit.”
—- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Today was my last day home alone with M. I head back to work on Tuesday. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 4 months since I started my maternity leave. I remember feeling excited and anxious about how the transition to being a Mom of two would go. Mostly I was...
Food
One of my new year’s resolutions was to be more active in my food life. Cook more, eat healthier, pay more attention to where my food comes from etc. It’s actually been pretty fun and it’s rekindled a love of cooking and eating well.
To help in reaching this goal, I’ve been scouring my existing cookbooks for recipes, and watching a lot of food network TV. But, a few of my...

Officially My Mother - Moment of The Week
Both girls crying, I finally get one to sleep.
The other walks in and bops little sister on the head.
“Well she was asleep,” I say, “and don’t hit your sister.”
She cries. Again.
“I want Daddy!!!”
Me too my love, me too.
Typical
As I write it’s 12:37 on a Wednesday. I’m still in my PJs. I only have one sock on. The other one had applesauce spilled on it when O “handed” the bowl to me asking rather impolitely for more. O has a strange virus, fever yesterday, but no other real symptoms except extreme crankiness. Of course she’s got her hands in her mouth, drooling all over them one second and...

Finishing the salad.
Out of the salad bowl.
The Aftermath of a 2 year Old's Birthday Party
Let me start by saying that it included shit in the bathtub…
O turned 2 earlier this month so we thought we’d have a little party for her. Turned out to be a fairly decent sized party with 60 guests including about 15 kids. It was really fun, and a lot of work. O had the time of her life and was so excited to have all her favorite friends and family in one place celebrating her....

I made this tonight using Tilapia instead of Orange Roughy (there spelled it right!) Thanks to my good friend and foodie, P, for sharing this with me. It was really good!
My Pump Talks
Aaahh pumping. I always look as relaxed while I pump at work. Gazing down as mother’s nectar gently releases from my breasts. Ok so not exactly. Isn’t this picture great though? I thought it was hi-larious and wanted to share. But, my reason for this post is not the picture so let’s move on.
I really don’t enjoy pumping. I don’t know anyone who does. As a working...

Lull
I’m tired. Like super tired. Been up every hour after going to bed late have a cranky toddler and restless 2 month old kinda tired. You moms. You know this kind of tired don’t you? Makes you think wierd thoughts right?
Like, when I look at how I spelled weird I think about the whole “i” before “e” except after “c” thing and then I think about a...
