Got up, made hubby lunch, had some Cream of Wheat for breakfast, got ready, got the boy up, fed him oatmeal, started laundry, had coffee, rolled $90 in change, cleared the dining room table, stuck glow in the dark stars on Qade’s ceiling, put Bubba to bed, did dishes, set up a “nursing station” in …

Icky Tuesday
Well, I suppose that title isn’t fair really. It’s certainly not Tuesday’s fault that both me and my little alarm clock, named Qade, slept in, and therefore had to rush around like mad to be ready to leave for his doctor’s appointment today. It’s not Tuesday’s fault that when I was driving out our road, …
Busy but Lazy
Happy Monday, friends! I’m so excited that it’s the 15th! That means we’re half way through September!!! Which also means that I’m half a month closer to meeting our newest munchkin!!! Woo-hoo! The faster the better, say I! Right now I’m just feeling rather massive and uncomfy, but it’ll get worse before it get’s better. …
Happy Birthday to meeeeee!
Here’s a pic of the birthday woman and baby 2 at 34 weeks! Yesterday was a great day! It started with my wonderful Stuart waking me up to open my card “before he had to go to work” only to discover while reading it that he intended to stay home with me on my birthday!!! …

Hey I ran across this great blog called the $5 Dinner. This mom apparently loves to cook, but likes to keep things economical too. Think about it. If you had dinner for $5 a day (and some of her recipies double for a second meal like pork and potatoes, with the left over pork being …
If the cat survives this pregnancy…
It’ll be a miracle! Yes, who would have thought the cat would be in any danger from the threat of a “new” baby. True she takes her life into her paws each time she plays with Qade, though we are trying to teach him gentleness. No, the problem she’s having because of the pregnancy is …
Secrets to Rewarding Homemaking
I “stole” this post from the tipnut.com blog. But I thought it was worth repeating, so here goes. 😉 The first one is especially good, and the last one is a great reminder too. Know: You are a Home Manager, not a slave, martyr or responder to chaos. Each day is a fresh start with …
Rachel’s Law of Food Prep Dynamics
The will to make any given dish is directly proportionate to the craving for that particular food!
The Art of Language
It’s been really neat to watch Qade learn to talk. He’s probably up to about 25 or so words, I’ve not been keeping complete track. But even more amazing to me is what he can understand! He may not be able to articulate phrases and such yet, but he certainly knows them. Lately I’ve been …
Hangin’ on to my baby
I think that what I’m going through is “normal” at least according to all the mommies I’ve talked to who have more than one kid. I’ve read/heard often enough that you wonder how in the world you’ll be able to love another one as much as the first. I already love our “new” baby, but …
