In light of the fact that I am still have not posted that whole “nature of children” thing, and it’s not likely to be up here tonight either, here, have a fun giveaway instead!

I’ve never been a good sleeper. Well, as far as I can remember. We’ll have to ask my mom about babyhood, but from about five on, I hated bedtime and it wasn’t because I was just defiant or wanted to stay up. I dreaded going to bed because I couldn’t fall asleep.
Having kids has cured me […]

I am such a person of extremes. And I am constantly looking for new, better ways to do things. This makes for a kind of tumultuous, crazy life. I need to slow down and mellow out. Give new ideas a bit of time to settle in my mind before plunging right in, and allowing a […]

People must think I am a complete airhead. Ironically, my airhead-like qualities only manifest because I am always so lost in thought. At least this is what I tell myself to avoid total disgust with my absent-mindedness and the ridiculous scenarios I find myself in on that account.
I really do think too much. This doesn’t mean […]

I have Poppop — to thank for my many penny-pinching ways, but sometimes, I’m too cheap for my own good.
Tonight I was making blueberry muffins.*
I filled all the muffin cups and then there was just a wee bit of batter left. Enough for maybe 3 muffin cups. At first I was going to do the rational thing — save it in […]

I know I said I would write post describing what our days look like, but browsing through my archives, I found I’ve already done exactly that:
*** What It’s Like ***
That post was back in March, when Sarah was still what they call a Kindergartner, but that peaceful, free-flowing atmosphere I described is still very much how […]

You guys, I want so many of these books!
Go here: http://balancingeverything.com/2009/10/15/want-to-party-with-me/
Just browse through some of the ones she highlights and tell me you don’t need to add some of those books to your home library! I’ve had that How Big is a Million book on my wish list for quite awhile. I think now’s the time to […]

Alright all you beautiful ladies who know so much more about being fashionable than I do. (That would be ALL of you.)
Do you see how I’m growing fur around my hair line?
What do I do about that? It is my hair growing back in, after it fell out in gobs postpartum. I’ve been growing out […]
Wow, you gals are awesome. (Gals + my daddy-o, who gave his advice over the phone rather than commenting here.) Thank you so much for all the tips; I am now a runner!
You were right, I did just need to push myself a bit more and the endorphins kicked in and I can now run 30+ […]
I want to have a clean house. I want to have a somewhat organized day so I feel like I am accomplishing something. And I like to make lists.
Every once in a while, I get all motivated, sit down and write up a new plan. A schedule — not too rigid, and with plenty of room for […]

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.
