It feels strange to not have written anything this week after posting every day in November. But also, I’ve not had any inclination to write here this week. Moving on. Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that Alison of Writing, Wishing and I […]
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if I broke my NaBloPoMo streak on the last day by forgetting to do the past I’ve already done 47 times this year. Ha. Ha ha ha.
I almost did that.

I don’t really know, except I was done with solo parenting. DO-NE.

Y’all. This was a long month. But. BUT! I will have finished NaBloPoMo tomorrow when I do my Project 365 post, and even managed to write all of the posts the night before (or sooner). I feel accomplished, and totally exhausted. I did learn a few things along the way, […]
The holiday week, NaBloPoMo, and the stress of hosting Thanksgiving had me all messed up, so this is a day late. It’s clear that my kids have VERY different Christmas wish list styles. The girls’ (AKA start in October, cutting out all of the things we want and tape them […]
I was a scrooge yesterday about Thanksgiving, I know. But like I said, I do have a lot to be thankful for (and I know it). The things I’m thankful for now, though, are much different than the things I was thankful for growing up.
Then: Baking pumpkin pies with my […]
Okay, I don’t hate all of Thanksgiving. I hate what Thanksgiving has become for me. I love talking about what I’m thankful for, I love hearing my kids talk about what they’re thankful for. I love that Thanksgiving day has become the day we stay home and decorate for […]
I often feel completely inadequate as a mother. I try my best, I do, but sometimes it just doesn’t feel good enough. I yell too much. I can’t keep a clean house. I don’t play with them. I lose my temper far too quickly. I love my kids fiercely, but […]
I’m gonna be real with y’all. Like, really, really real. I’ve been solo parenting for two solid weeks now, and Thanksgiving is stressing me out. I just lost my mind on my kids as I put them to bed, with like, an adult style tantrum. I threw toys down the […]
Nov. 16 Even after the kids go to bed, I’ve still got somebody wanting thisclose to me. Nov. 17 I love bloggy friends, and I super love when they send me lovely things in the mail, like this stripey hand-painted card from Clare of Girl Fifteen, who has been […]
I’m a sucker for family pictures, and with NaBloPoMo making me all nostalgic and this year’s photo session looming, I took a little look back.
(Sorry for the pictures of pictures with the first few….posting every day makes me lazy)
Single momming it (the first year):
And the second:
