  • A Letter To My Daughter On Her 5th Birthday

    I can’t help but wonder if all mothers cry when their baby turns five years old? As soon as my eyes opened, I began to think of you. Not that that’s anything new. You are always the first thought to cross my mind. And as a sidenote, you will always be the first thought to… Read more

  • 4 year old My Little Pony/Rainbow Party

    Okay, here we go. I must start this blog with a disclaimer. There are bloggers who make money blogging. I’m not one of them (although that’d be swell). There are bloggers who have perfect pictures of projects that people pin on Pinterest. I’m not one of them. I don’t even know how to put a P… Read more

  • When Motherhood Becomes a Battle…….the Side I Choose

    We danced in the rain, arms outstretched, face upwards. We water-colored and crayon colored. We cooked and sang. We kicked a soccer ball and practiced writing the letter S. We read books and looked for hidden objects in the pictures. There are a million things my mind tells me I should be doing. Like packing… Read more

  • Look Who’s Three!

    My dearest Emma Kate, Last night you went to bed as a two-year old and today you woke as a  three-year old!  But not technically.  You actually have until 2:47 this afternoon until you can officially say you’re three.  You are the absolute most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me.  I love you… Read more

  • The Latest Emmaisms—Edition 3

    So, occasionally I like to blog about the funny things that come out of my daughter’s mouth.  Today, I’m keeping it short and sweet with the latest three funnies. 1)  She’s learned how to covet.  Something she often says is “I wish I had ____________(fill in the blank)”.  The other day while looking at Pinterest… Read more

  • Two Year Old Snowman

    Today is the first official snow of 2015 here in my corner of New Mexico.  Official snow in my book anyway.  There might have been a previous flurry or two, in which I consider that officially unofficial. EK wanted to go build a snowman, but she didn’t want to wear all those clothes.  “They’re too… Read more

  • A Few More Emmaisms

    I’ve got this almost 3-year-old, going on almost 30-year-old. She says some of the funniest things.  I posted about them last here.  One of my faithful readers and commenters, Donna, coined them Emmaisms and I thought that sure sounded catchy. Today I put on my 80’s playlist to get myself moving to clean the house… Read more

  • October Photo Dump

    Anne of Green Gables said, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” Me too, Anne. The colors here are breathtaking.  The air is crisp and cool.  The smell of fireplaces fill the air. October is my favorite time of year. I don’t have too much to say, I just wanted… Read more

  • All About EK

    I’ve got two reasons for this post. 1) my kid is darling 2) I occasionally run into ‘online’ friends  face to face who say they miss seeing my kid on Facebook. Okay three reasons 3) I need to document the cute, funny, wise, serious things she says and does, and the baby book isn’t cutting… Read more

  • Pack up all my care and woe

    Right now I am drowning in this parenthood thing.  Drowning, I tell ya.  The most frequent thought that runs through my head is packing a little knapsack and running away. Far, far, away.  Seriously, I’m considering getting a job just to get a break.  Is that crazy?  Really I should have a handle on this… Read more
