I don’t want to sound like a whiner, but DAYAM, being a mom is hard work. I always thought I knew this, but when Kyle was out of town I really realized it. For real. Trying to be productive during those 5 days was a joke. I gave up after the first day. So much for finishing moving in (I had wanted to surprise Kyle by having the house all done when he returned from his trip). But how realistic is vacuuming and hammering the art up on the wall during P’s limited napping time? … Read more >

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it exciting seeing what new (to me) products are available in different areas. I have been seriously enjoying browsing the shelves of our local co-op and grocery stores (Nugget, Whole Foods). The prepared foods sections have all kinds of different stuff and there are tons of hippie friendly companies with local distribution! I love it.

I’ll make this brief since this is what I’m up against… Hippie tip #1: Buy and sell (or give away) used moving boxes on craigslist before and after you move. Earth friendly and cheap. Here we are in our (old) backyard with a passed out babe and movers schlepping patio furniture. P was clearly not stressed out by the packing process. On the contrary, he slept probably 30 of the 36 hours that we were transitioning from one home to the next. He just looooves being held, and since we had no furniture… Read more >

As I alluded in the last post, we had a road trip planned for the next day in Nor Cal. Boy oh boy are we pushing our luck with all these long car rides with an infant! But this is what he does most of the time so we are really lucky (so far). Fingers crossed. I packed lots of food for us so we could hit the road early (basically right after we had both showered and I’d breastfed P). Kyle and I both had similar breakfasts, but his was sandwiched between some… Read more >
