model taco
Once when The Husband and I were just parents to two cats my mom told me when I had kids I was never going to take pictures of them because I would be too worn out from taking so many pictures of the kitties. “Oh please,” I replied back, “I’ll take so many pictures of […]
toddlin’ taco
A few weekends ago Lydia took the big plunge and started walking. We were at her Aunt Lisa’s and Uncle Ken’s house when she started to take off — she was waiting for the right audience. She’s very proud of herself and is getting better every day. It took her a few days to master […]
here’s your sign
Yesterday when I went to pick up Lydia from daycare I was told she got an Oops Note that day that I had to sign. At first I thought it meant she got a boo-boo, but no . . . she gave other kids boo-boos. An Oops Note is a note that the parent has […]

My hair appointment today is seriously the #1 thing on the agenda […]
open mouth, insert foot . . . and hand?
Over the weekend, Lydia broke out in what looked like a heat rash or fever rash. She also had a low-grade fever but for once I was not too worried and I’ll be damned if I was going to go running to the doctor for every little thing. Lydia will sometimes run a low fever […]
eleven month old taco
One more month till the Big One. Oh, goodness. I need to get planning! Lydia turns 11 months old today. This past month she has enjoyed multiple visits from her cousin, Elizabeth. They have had great fun together sharing toys, secrets, and pacifiers. One time they even went grocery shopping together. Thankfully, they have not […]
