Well. That happened. Christmas happened. And now it’s over. OK, not totally over yet. Paul and I are still going to try and watch The Interview before we pass out. I’m always a little sad right before Christmas, because I feel like it’s coming to an end too soon! I want to cherish more time with…
We keep reminding you that you’re turning 4 today. You don’t really know what that means. And you don’t really know what it means to us. You don’t know how grateful we are for you. How we longed to have you here and then worked to keep you here when it seemed against the odds.…
Oh my gosh, I totally did one more craft last night. It was an emergency crafting situation. I’m done for real now. When a sales clerk sees me with my hands full of items chasing Stevie around, picking him up off the floor, trying to keep him busy and then turns to me with a…
OK just one more craft for the week. I am DIY-ed out. It had to be easy and it had to be inexpensive. With my logic, ornaments are small – therefore faster to finish – so I figured I’d go in that direction. This one took longer than the ribbon ornament because you have to cut out so many squares,…
Oh, this tinsel tree. I made so many mistakes that it took forever and I had to redo it 3 times. It’s not difficult by any means, but I didn’t have a tutorial to follow, so I was winging it. And we all know how that goes. My uncraftiness really had a chance to shine…
These pom-poms are kind of my favorite. I loved having fluffy little pets all around the house. And I enjoyed throwing them at Stevie’s head continually while he wasn’t looking. Perfect rainy day activity. Plus, they look so cute on the mantle! Baby Jesus and pom-poms go together right? Here’s where I found the easiest…
This week, I’ll show you a few of the craft projects I attempted for Christmas. My whole entire life, I have always tried to be a crafty person. But I’ve realized over the years, and all of the failed attempts, that I’m just not. And that’s ok. These ones are actually so easy, they made…
My nails have been unpolished for two weeks. I hate it. But it’s easy. I’m trying so hard to get in the Christmas spirit this year that I have been crafting. CRAFTING YO. Nobody said they were good crafts, but they are happening. Pom-pomming like a mofo. And speaking of Christmas, I’ve got almost all…
I think I’ve made it pretty clear how much I dislike going to the park, yeah? Every. flippin. day. Yesterday, I just couldn’t. I did not want to do it. So I picked Stevie up from school and right on cue, he said “MOM! BOP!” I told him no. He flipped out. But I knew…
Most of Stevie’s breakthroughs in therapy over the years have been physical. Walking, running, pulling things apart, pointing, climbing. Those are the easiest milestones to identify and measure his development against. So while each one of these has been of the upmost importance, this one feels pretty major. It didn’t take much. And it wasn’t…
