Dinah is walking around repeating “nuh-mah-nuh-mah” over and over again. I thought I’d share that right off the bat. With this whole light bedrest thing that I’m on because I’d progressed a little when I went in to the OB this week, Dan has been going and getting Dinah out of her crib in the [...]
Glory to God for this very blunt and honest conversion story! I can’t begin to tell you how encouraging it is (and it’ll take you 5 minutes to read, so make a sandwich, sit down, and enjoy!). My prayer for this man is that he would immerse himself in a Bible-believing church who would help [...]
I have reading glasses. After Dinah was born, I noticed that my vision wasn’t as superb as it once was. This could have had nothing to do with Dinah’s birth and everything to do with me getting older. Dunno. Nonetheless, I went to see Dr. Kelli who gave me a rockin’ prescription and since then, [...]
From a conversation last week: Me: Are you going to help Dinah make me a present [for Mother's Day]? Dan: I’ll help her make you a present in her diaper. Ha! (Note: He did get me a present, so don’t send him any nasty-grams.)
Do not buy liquid detergent whose packaging is smashed/smooshed on the bottom and do not treat liquid detergent as if it were indestructible by banging it around during the transition from shelf to cart, cart to car, and car to laundry room floor (who am I kidding? It sat by the front door for at [...]
Dinah has it. Again. And it’s so bad that she starts crying the moment we mention changing her. When we go anywhere close to the changing table, she starts clinging to us and screaming. Changing her has become an extreme sport, like wrestling a wildebeest. She’s red and raw and bleeding. We took her to [...]
Kohl’s is having a big sale. They have a great selection of baby stuff, with some seriously decent prices.
Dan cooked twice two weeks ago: tacos and enchiladas. Both of these recipes were from the Food Network, so we expected greatness. Both of them also called for corn tortillas rather than flour tortillas. So we used the corn tortillas. I’m not a fan. I know some of you, dear friends, always use corn tortillas, [...]
I almost named this post “Puke. Puke. and then I Puked Some More.” but I thought it might be in bad taste (pun not intended). It was a couple of weeks ago, but Dan and I are still exhausted from it. Right after Dinah’s dinner and bath on that Monday, she was in the living [...]
Dan and I would eat all five boxes of Tagalongs that I bought from a co-worker in one setting if it wouldn’t 1) make us sick and 2) be absurd gluttony. They’re our favorite cookie ever. When I have freezer space, I freeze as many of the boxes as I can. To keep them from [...]
For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. (Romans 14:8, ESV)
