Before We’re Never Alone AGAIN.
In the midst of finding an apartment, signing a lease, packing, moving, unpacking, picking out the best rooftop pavers and trying to wrap our minds around the fact that a baby might just be living here in eight short weeks – Mike and I have been enjoying spending nearly every waking minute together.Well when itRead the whole post >>
Read MoreTwenty-Nine & Thirty.
30 weeks, 5 days How far along? 30 weeks, 6 days. This means my pregnancy is 75% over. WOAH. How big is baby? He measured three pounds and one ounce last Tuesday. And is around seventeen inches long. Total weight gain: +17 lbs. Maternity Clothes? 80% of the time, I’m wearing these tank tops andRead the whole post >>
Read MoreStay: Making Kool-Aid and Vodka Sound Like a Good Idea.
In between reading books about childbirth, I took a much-needed break and delved into Stay, a book written by my ‘Internet friend’ Allie Larkin. I’ve long been a fan of Allie’s fabulously useful website, The Greenists (formerly Allie’s Answers) which is all things sustainable and eco-friendly. Allie is an absolute doll, but I’ll be honestRead the whole post >>
Read MoreAdventures in Apartment Hunting. Be Jealous.
I keep starting and re-starting this post. I haven’t posted much this summer – completely unintentionally and probably for the best, since I’m not sure I’d be able to express myself clearly in words. I think once you don’t blog for a while, you sort of forget how to blog. I start to think thatRead the whole post >>
Read MoreTwenty-Seven & Twenty-Eight.
How far along? 28 weeks, 2 days. Twelve more weeks left! Though a friend and a cousin both recently had their babies five weeks early which freaks me out completely – because then I could have a baby in SEVEN WEEKS. Woah. Slow down. How big is baby? Somewhere around two-and-a-half pounds and nearly sixteenRead the whole post >>
Read MoreGone to Carolina in My Mind.
I’m back from a lovely vacation with Mike’s family (his parents, two brothers and their wives, and five nieces and nephews) at a beach house in South Carolina. What did vacation look like? It was… Waking up early to the sun streaming in through our shutters and lilting children’s voices. Both a blessing (more timeRead the whole post >>
Read MoreTwenty-Five & Twenty-Six.
Twenty-five weeks. How far along? 26 weeks, 2 days. AKA: ALMOST SIX FREAKING MONTHS. This is the last week of my second trimester. WOAH. How big is baby? Nearly two pounds and fourteen inches long. This is getting into legit baby territory, my friends. Total weight gain: +14 lbs. I’m right on track – IRead the whole post >>
Read MoreInternet Friends do Indy.
(This and all photos by Erin. Except the last, which was some random guy.) Once upon a time, I missed an epic Vegas trip. I was heartbroken, but a dear friend was getting married that weekend, and I couldn’t very well skip her wedding to meet a bunch of ‘internet friends’ without lying quite aRead the whole post >>
Read MoreRecipe: Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins
I love to bake, so often, I open up a cookbook and make the first recipe I have all the ingredients for. It’s usually muffins, because they are such a convenient snack or breakfast (or lunch dessert! – everyone has lunch desserts, yes?) to take to work. This weekend, it was a delicious little gem involving toasted coconut andRead the whole post >>
Read MoreI Left My Camera at Home, So I Illustrated this Post with Paint.
Friday, I drove down about an hour south of Cleveland to sleep over at a friend’s house. We gorged ourselves with Olive Garden (smoked mozzarella fonduta owns my life – I LOVE THAT STUFF), then waddled to the movies to Letters to Juliet, a movie she choose. It has been quite a few years sinceRead the whole post >>
