Weeding It Up.
I’m Not A Hairstylist, But I Play One On TV.
My husband is mad at me. Because I did this:
If you’re not sure why this is significant, this is what she looked like yesterday:
If it were up to him, her hair might be down to her ankles.
Yes, it was an accident. I did the cut-off-the-ponytail trick, and didn’t quite know […]
Our New Normal
Everyone said that it would get easier, that it would become our “new normal”. And it has.Started to, at least.I spent a weekend making freezer meals, a morning baking.I’ve made enough meals now that I’m learning what works, and what doesn’t.We’ve taken her out to restaurants and other peoples’ homes, […]
The Weight Of It All
I’m linking up with Shell for the first time this week. I’ve talked a lot about Essie’s Celiac diagnosis (if you’re sick of hearing about it…sorry.) but I haven’t really talked about how I’m feeling about it.Our Essie will be three in July. The day I got the call that […]

Project 365, Week 4
This has been a really long week. It made the third week that T. was out of town for work, and the second that I’ve been trying to feed Essie a dairy-free diet. It’s been stressful, and chaotic, and thank goodness it’s about over.Here’s the week in pictures:Day 22The big […]
