My baby has really become a big boy this year. Yikes. At 2.5 years old, Ben is a force to be reckoned with. He is a whirlwind of activity from dawn to dusk (naptime excluded). He loves nothing more than to be going, doing, talking, running, singing, eating, climbing, and oh did I mention, GOING? [...]
Well I completely forgot to do Tabby’s 4.75 post, so I will make up for it by doing her year-in-review first. At this age, they change much more slowly than they do when they’re teeny tiny babies, but still, over the course of just a few months, let alone a year, you can see huge [...]
Another year of running! Hard to believe it’s gone by so fast! It was a wonderful year in the run. I hope 2012 can be just as good, maybe even better!! The photo on the right is definitely not the most flattering (lovely fish-eye effect) but it is a cool photo and comes from one [...]
A few weeks before Christmas, I bought myself a present. It’s not something I often do, but I’ve had my eye on this for a while now. See my favorite heart rate monitor watch broke and months later it’s still not fixed. I won’t bore you with the incompetence of Polar and the expensive screwdrivers [...]
Christmas has come and gone in a flash. I remember when I was a kid and it was all joy and excitement and anticipation and fun. It’s still all those things, but now there’s a hefty dose of exhaustion and work in there too. We spent Christmas Eve running all over the place with this [...]
It’s SO CLOSE to being done. Matt rocks. I rock. Hopefully our sweet girl will LOVE IT!
I’ve been having too much fun to post very much! It’s been a whirlwind past few days but so nice. I’m pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I won’t be getting more than 6 hours of sleep until Christmas is over and I think I’m OK with that. Santa is almost done with [...]
So I started planning and shopping for Christmas a LONG time ago. And I made good progress, really I did, but for the past two evenings, I’ve found myself up at crazy (for me) hours and feeling pretty stressed. So now I am going to take a step back and reflect on all of the [...]
We are fully in the Christmas swing of things and I confess to being a bit overwhelmed. My to-do lists even have to-do lists right now and there is an event practically every night of the week, even if it’s just a haircut. This weekend was a crazy fun blur. Friday my friend and I [...]
My name is Jess. I'm a 30ish wife and working mommy. I love spending time with my family and friends, crafting up weird and beautiful things, cooking delicious food and running lots of miles to work it off. I love chocolate, wine, Photoshop, my Nikon and sleeping in. I do freelance design work for fun and marginal profit at JKN Designs. This is my blog. Read more »
