Sleep
I had to put my daughter to sleep tonight. Like, actually put her to sleep as in help her to fall asleep. Zilla is usually very good about going to bed and nearly always falls asleep immediately and emphatically. Even better, she stays emphatically asleep for ten hours nearly every night. Not tonight.
Things I Never Thought I Would Do (Revisited)
This post originally appeared on my blog in August 2012. I’m re-posting it today because it (almost) perfectly fits one of Mama Kat’s prompts this week. It’s a few more items than the prompt asks for, but I couldn’t possibly choose…so I’m going with it. Once upon a time, I was completely non-girly. Femininity is…
Wordless Wednesday – Coffee Love
I’m not actually going to be wordless today…as long as I get my Sunshine post finished, there will be plenty of words later. But I have a photo that was too cool not to use. Kidzilla noticed this in the Fab Hub’s coffee cup a couple of weeks ago… Proof that love is all around us!…
Ten Things of Thankful – Couldn’t Help Myself Edition
I couldn’t help myself. Over the last couple of months, I’ve become so accustomed to looking for the positive moments in my weeks, that I couldn’t help but sit down on Friday night and start my TToT list. But there’s no TToT linkup for an entire fortnight. Everybody has holiday things to do and that’s wonderful.…
One Year Ago Today
Intrigued by Mama Kat’s prompt about what was on my blog one year ago, I decided to check it out. The closest date in my archives was December 4th. The topic? Yurts. Seriously, yurts. Check it out – http://www.themeaningofme.com/your-what-hurts/. I’ll hang out here while you read and learn about yurts. So back to Mama Kat’s…
Learning to Pray
I am still in the home stretch of final grades for this marking period, so this is short and sweet. Truth be told, I should probably be skipping the blog post tonight and just getting my work finished. (Can you hear the Fab Hub gently pointing out that I’ll be exhausted if I stay up…
Ten Things of Thankful AND a Monday Listicles – I Love You Edition
Every now and then, I link up with Stasha’s Monday Listicles posts. I haven’t done one in a while, but I always love reading them. When I saw this week’s lists, though, I knew that list topic was not only a great (late) Listicles post, but it would also work perfectly for a Ten Things of…
Five Friday Favorites: Secrets for a Successful Marriage
The Fab Hub and I have no business telling anybody else how to have a happy or successful marriage. We are by far not the poster children for blissfully happy marriage. That sounds awful, doesn’t it? It’s not that we’re pessimistic or that we have a lousy relationship. Perhaps it’s just that we’re a lot…
The Lunch Box Master
The Fab Hub is a lunch box master. This is pretty amazing since when we met, the man had no idea how to pack a lunch. In fact, while we were not dating, I used to bring a few extra items in my lunch to share with him since we worked at the same place…
Ten Things of Thankful – Kindergarten Edition
Am I the only one who didn’t know Kindergarten is really hard? For the parents? Kidzilla is well into the rhythm of Kindergarten, but her parents are still trying to keep up. Honestly, this is one of those topics that should come with the book that doesn’t come with the baby…
