There’s an arboretum a few minutes from our house – it’s hidden away on a busy street, most people don’t even know it’s there. It’s nearly always empty when we go – a giant field of trees and grass and flowers – it’s beautiful and peaceful. After the rain this morning, the sun came out and it was a really nice day so I decided to get out of the house and take Ryan to the arboretum so he could run free and I could Keep Reading summer days I got an email from my mom today about being an awesome mom (aww, thanks mom!). It made me think of my life before Ryan.… before I was a mom… …picking someone else’s nose was DISGUSTING.

Ryan runs over and either gives me the sign for “milk” or he simply rips my shirt off – really. We’re trying to teach him that this is not okay to do Keep Reading Extended breastfeeding: am I a mom or a bottle? Do you remember the days when you’d run errands alone and you’d use the time to call a friend? Shopping alone was boring so you’d get a friend on the phone and chat while getting groceries or looking for clothes. Now? Oh.my.god. I’m alone. ME TIME. If anyone talks to me or calls me or interrupts my mindless thoughts, THEY DIE. When you’re able to get out sans-kid, a trip to Target to buy toilet Keep Reading Just me and.….… me. |
