Day 216: The one where Abby gives Momma a break

Yesterday afternoon I was starting to think that we were on our way to day three with no afternoon nap.  I started freaking that at the age of 9 months, Abigail decided she no longer needed it.  She was super fussy in the afternoon too.  I really needed her to take a nap.  I needed [...]

Day 215: Don’t Forget To Breathe-Part I

A little over eight and a half years ago, my grandfather passed away from Cancer.  I was a senior at NYU.  We joked how he was kind enough to pass over winter break so I wouldn’t have to leave school.  About a week after his passing, I went back to school. Numb. I started a [...]

Day 211: The one where she doesn’t insist on eating books

Day 210: I’m Getting Crafty

When I was younger, I used to heart crafts.  I mean when given the choice as to what activities I wanted to do in summer camp, I always chose arts and crafts for the morning.  (When I got older, I chose tennis b/c of all the cute boys.)  But as I’ve grown up, I’ve forgotten [...]

Day 209: Pure Bliss

This past week has been on the hot side and when you don’t have central AC you’ve got to get creative about how to cool down.  I think Abigail was having fun with creativity.  What do you think? Post Script:  My bloggy friend, lawmomma, is raising money to help a good cause of a Momma [...]

Day 208: I Heart Most Things Retro

NOTE: This post was brought to you by using two spaces after each period. About a week and a half ago, I rushed over to Smonk You:  A Story about Being a Dad, to check out which lovely lady he had guest blogging for him.  To my delight, it was Morgan, from the818. Morgan and I [...]

Day 207: Screw You Anxiety

So over the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed an increase in my anxiety level.  And on three of those occasions, I was on the verge of full blown anxiety attacks.  The third time this happened, I was feeling claustrophobic and needed some air.  Fortunately for me, my mom is in town so it was [...]
