Or, My Struggles with Working and Not Working as a Mom. A couple of months ago, an expectant friend excitedly shared with me her plans of quitting her job and staying home with her baby. I was thrilled for her; I knew it was what she wanted. A familiar pang of jealousy hit me, though:Read the whole post >>

While Gabe was supposed to be napping this afternoon, I found myself perusing my TwitPic archives, marveling at what wee little nugget Gabe used to be. I also found a photo of me taken exactly one year ago and had to share: A year ago: Awkwardly large and pregnant. Probably about to go for aRead the whole post >>

Like most babies learning how to walk, Gabe falls down a lot. He doesn’t seem to be aware of his head girth, and knocked it on the coffee table so many times we had to move it out of the living room. He also cries really hard when he gets hurt. For both big andRead the whole post >>
Read MoreInside my Diaper Bag.
I got this diaper bag as a gift from my coworkers in my old office, and though I had registered for it, I’d never actually seen it in person.

Today, Mike and I have been married four years. Three weeks from today, our baby turns a year old. Unlike Gabe turning a year old (oh, where did the time goooo?), it feels like it has been far longer than four years ago that I married Mike. I am unsure if that’s a good orRead the whole post >>
Read MoreTightening Our [Fuel] Belt.
I have a confession to make. We have a gas problem. Sure, we only have one car. And, no, we never really fly. And, happily, we already paid off the car. And, yes, we live in a walkable area. BUT. This summer, we drove to NYC, North and South Carolina, to western Massachusetts, across theRead the whole post >>

My dear little Gabriel, Somehow you are going to be an entire year old in about three weeks. I know it’s normal to feel like a year, any year, has gone rather quickly.
