I can’t believe I’m blogging about this. Especially after trying to ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist for so many years.
But it’s here, and, no matter how much I’d like to believe otherwise, it’s real.
I don’t really know where to begin, or how much to say. I don’t want anyone to worry, I’m going […]

I know it’s been a while, I am planning on posting something more substantial sometime. But it’s getting late and I am really, really going to try to get to bed so I can get up early — before the girls — and be a good, cheerful, on-top-of-things sort of mom.
But tonight I want to know what you think. […]

I read this article by the author of the Continuum Concept a month or so before this new baby was born and thought maybe I’d try it — the constant contact thing.
I did it somewhat with Jade, my second daughter (who is the one in all the pictures in this post, since I’ve yet to upload any with […]

We finally went for our “2 week” checkup with the midwife today. Baby Carrie is actually 2 days past 3 weeks. (Oops.) (It’s a looong drive down there, especially with three kids.) (I have three kids!!), but checked out perfectly.
She’s up to 9 lbs 5 oz (from 7 lbs 13 oz at birth), nursing and […]
I can’t JUST go have a bowl of cereal.
No, first I walk in to the pantry to get it out and, while I’m there, notice that there are still clothes in the washer that need drying. But there are also diapers in the dryer from last night that need to at least be taken out […]

I promise I’m not ignoring you, Internet.
Okay, I am, but it’s nothing personal. My little sister was here for a few days and I just had to soak up as much of her awesomeness as I could before she had to leave on a jet plan this morning. More family is coming (apparently you have to […]

My sweet mother-in-law (hate using that term, it sounds so, I don’t know, unfriendly or something, but is there an alternative?) gave me a wonderful book for Christmas all about nutrition and herbs and other methods of natural healing.
I love it, every time I pick it up to look up one thing, I get sucked in […]

My first daughter taught me an important lesson about potty training, would you like to know what it is? It can be summed up in three words:
Don’t do it.
Seriously, don’t. At least not if your child is anything like mine.
It was a nightmare. And it only ended when I finally “woke up” and realized that the girl […]

I am so not a Steven Covey/Franklin planner sorta girl. I like to make little charts and schedules and plans; I’m just not very good at following through with them.
Nevertheless, I’ve been at it again, but this time I’m counting on my complete lack of ability to abide by anything, and, even though I’m penciling […]

Hi, I'm Kate.
I have a propensity for rambling at length about parenting, attempting crafting projects far beyond my capabilities, staying up entirely too late, and craving sugary treats. This is my journal.
(More details?)
