For the last week, “we” seem to have finally figured out how to go to sleep soundly and not wake up when transferred to the basket. Prior to this, he’d been just falling asleep in my bed. (I just couldn’t stay awake long enough to make the transfer!)
So now I have a few minutes [...]
Today I read this call to higher heights from Ravi Zacharias:
“Some years ago, we were spending Christmas in the home of my wife’s parents. It was not a happy day in the household…
Yet, in the midst of all that, my mother-in-law kept her routine habit of asking people who would likely have no place to [...]
…today. (Actually, tonight at 10:13pm.)
We do this three more times, and a whole year will have passed. Amazing. Makes me want to cancel every appointment and sit here with my quickly-growing baby.
Happy three months, my little love. You’re precious to us.
On the ball is not how you would describe my life since Jameson was born. The littlest things that I used to do without thinking (i.e. put laundry away) can stay on my to-do list for days. Or weeks. Like my bedsheets: I finally got around to changing them two days ago after intending to [...]
Along with cream-colored ponies and crisp apple streudel, these are a few of my favorite things:
::Jameson’s fatter-than-ever cheeks.*
::My lovely friend (the short one!) coming to my rescue, because she’s only a phone call away.
::Jameson laughing in this really goofy way when he falls asleep while nursing. It’s sooooo super-cute!
::Our Christmas tree, filling our little living [...]
So, whose blog is this, anyway? It's mine, and here are few tidbits about me: My name is Danica. Like the race car driver, whose name I know, but whose career I know nothing about. A Nascar fan I am not. Things like reading, playing piano, gardening, cooking, sewing, writing, and keeping my bathroom bleached are more up my alley.My maiden name is Sinclair (not Patrick), and I come from good stock. (So says my husband, anyway!) I'm the oldest of 9 kids--and my parents are neither insane, uninformed, or Catholic. They're actually the best parents you could ask for. Seriously. (And, consequently, I think pretty highly of my siblings, too, whose blogs you can access from the links below.) I've joined a new clan, though, and my husband and I have been "leaving-and-cleaving" for 2 years and counting. We have a son who you'll read much (too much?) about. Oh. And there are pictures of him, too--hundreds of them--should you care to click on over to my flickr account. I'm a stay at home mom who is redefining that title--I literally stay at home as much as I possibly can. I love to be home! Home, by the way, is in Northern California, although my roots are in a lil' ol' town in Northern New York. Lastly, I take all blame for any ridiculous, outlandish, illogical posts. Anything worth commenting on or linking to is due to my husband's encouragement. In the spirit of the Little engine That Could, "He thinks I can, He thinks I can, He thinks I can,...", and sometimes, that's all a wife needs.
The first of a week-long series on mothering without fear. Encouraging!
GOOD read.
I LOVE money-back guarantees for stuff like this. (Of course, I can't imagine anyone returning an Ergo!) If you're thinking about purchasing an Ergo carrier, maybe you'll appreciate these 90 days of flexibility.
