Somewhere In The Middle : A day in the life...or something

Thu, 6 Oct 2011 01:41:49 +0000

as mundane & boring as monday's can be, it will be nice to look back on this day, when ry is older and all over the place & think wow there once was a time that it didn't seem to hectic. :) i like seeing the day-to-day of other's. i like sneak peaks into people's lives.

The Paper Mama : What would you say?

i think about it; however, i wouldn't go back. this is the life you were meant to have, even when the going gets tough. you're never given more than you can handle. without all the good & bad experiences we've all faced they make us who we are today. and if you like who you are today, even if it's in a healing process, then the overall outcome has been perfect. life is not perfect nor meant to be. with past experiences have brought you to today & you are good today. perfect.

sometimes you need to come back in & out and in & out again to receive clarity. sometimes stopping re-evaluating, re-focusing and re-trying are what is necessary to figure out what feels "right." kind of like a friendship that you're not sure about...you keep giving it the benefit of the doubt because you *think* there is worthiness there...it just takes a little longer to get to the core. sometimes it doesn't work out & that is ok. the role of being a mom, a career woman (full or part time), running a household, being a wife, being you takes re-evaluating. again, it's all ok. i, as a new reader, of your blog (found you towards the beginning of the summer, i think) have enjoyed reading your posts. i liked following along about your garden and it hit home with me because my in-laws started a garden this year and it was nice to see someone else doing the same thing. i was excited to read about your family heading to europe (i love it there) and am exciting to see any, some, a lot, all pictures should you decide to post them. :) and jill is right, it is your blog...do what you want! i look at my blog as something for my kids to look back on when i'm old & they are curious about everyday life. i remembering being little & asking my mom to tell me stories from when i was a little girl...this is kind of the answer to that along with my stories. whether you post once an hour, once a week, once a month, once a year...do it for you! and i'll be reading. :) cheers! (i was not expecting this to be so long! sorry!!)

The Paper Mama : Wordless{ish} Wednesday: My Grandpa\'s Funeral.

Wed, 13 Jul 2011 16:23:25 +0000

I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather's passing. Even though it is such a sad occasion, I truly enjoy the positive spin (& outlook) you took towards it. Preserving memories (with pictures) no matter what the situation can help heal even the most grave circumstances. My recent post wordless(ish) wednesday – a box o’fun

This is the first day of my life. : Yesterday, I turned 28.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Sounds like you had one of the best nights yet! I tend to think, it doesn't matter where I celebrate (thought I love me a damn good dive bar) but rather WHO I celebrate with and it sounds like you celebrated & were celebrated by the people who matter most to you!

This is the first day of my life. : So much love in my heart today.

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:33:49 +0000

This is the best thing I have read all day. I love watching every aspect of my two being together so I completely know this feeling. It gives me goosebumps. I love it! There is so much joy & comfort knowing that they want to be together not because they have to. These are the moments that will be etched into your memories until your very last breath.

This is the first day of my life. : Welcome to our 1st Birthday

Awesome! Everything looks great! All your late nights & hard work paid off! If we lived closer, we'd be over for cheese (it really is it's own food group in this house). Can't wait to see more pics of everyone partying it up!

THANK YOU!

Harpers Happenings : me time.

Wed, 1 Sep 2010 16:48:23 +0000

I look forward to the kids bedtime & typically my hubby still isn't home from work. I tend to get about 90 minutes of solid me time before he gets home. It is glorious. Sometimes it consists of cleaning up but it's a quick clean up because there are no distractions. My other me time comes in the morning when I work out. For, at the very least, one solid hour I have time to decompress & think about & watch what I want (read: Oprah). Me time is an absolute necessity when being a parent.

oh those eyes. those eyes are going to be heartbreakers. also, the picture of her sitting in the tire swing....such a little girl

Harpers Happenings : how am i going to do this?

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:25:54 +0000

Oh that picture. Just awesome. Initially, it will be hard BUT you will get through it (& possibly with many, many, many phone calls home & the wonders of skye)) BUT it will also make you an even better mom. You will come home following the conference refreshed & renewed (omg, I think I just sounded like Ramona from RHONYC). You will also be amongst some really great ladies, meeting new people, soaking in a new city (an AWESOME city), partying, shopping & learning new blogging secrets. The 6 days will fly by in a blink of an eye. Also, don't worry if you whip out pictures of the H monster you won't be alone there will so many lovely ladies there missing their monsters as well! You will be in great company! Have an awesome time!
