blog gone.
When it was almost gone I felt a moment of relief. All those words and moments and documented mistakes were gone. All the over sharing and stories that aren’t quite mine to give so fully… gone. I felt...

I saw the rain.
This past weekend we had the chance to get away. To head out to summer camp in the cool fall near the rainforest. We experienced rain so loud it drowned out any loud night thoughts. We paddled quick...

Traditions.
When Nolie was really little I felt this huge need and pressure to create traditions. But I tried and tried and nothing stuck, felt right, or really worked. I can now see, looking back, that’s because...

Whole30 (behind the scenes)
(click the photo collage to see them more clearly, sorry!) I’ve fully completed four whole30’s and there is a lot I’ve gleaned along the way. From the physical ways that food affects me, the triggers...

So, you failed after your whole30.

(bitter)sweet 6
She was my cozy, cozy, baby. She and I logged endless hours of rocking and nursing, cuddling and bouncing. Those first two years she rarely left the Ergo. As she grew it was obvious what an incredible...

The Midnight Tempest.
It blew through last night. The screaming, angry, thrashing, waves crashing down on my bed in violent ear pounding screams. Night time can be so dark. When you hear ‘no’, even gently, for so long,...

Narcissistic wanderings. Typical blog fodder.
It’s as I’m sitting over my cold coffee googling “what do I do next?” that the tears start to fall. I’m a feeler, crier, a thinker and also a do-er. But? I’m an odd combo as I am also not a go-getter...

He’s reading books in ridiculous voices and their smiles are quick and goofy. She has loose teeth and absentmindedly wiggles them at every chance. Her tiny fingers find Ever’s and they squeeze hands...

dreaming.
Motherhood is my calling. What I wanted to be, what I dreamt about, what I played as a kid. I enjoyed college and it gave me my love of writing; but finding out I was pregnant before I graduated...

motivation.

Space for fear
Today I swung my whole self hand-to-hand across the monkey bars. A year ago I couldn’t hang, holding my own body weight, for more than 25sec. Yesterday I hung upside down on a bar on the school...

Sustainability.
My first whole30 was almost a year and a half ago. It changed so much for me about food, health, freedom, guilt, and body. But it also comes with deep consequences that can be really hard to overcome....

Nut’ola!
Paleo granola is pretty popular but it was hard to find one on the shelf that didn’t have a bunch of sugar. We eat a LOT of this, so keeping it lower sugar was important to me. Also, we have found...

Grabbing Tight, my January/Now.
Motivation is fickle, some weeks I’m on it. Maybe it’s the sunshine, maybe it’s where I’m at in the month, maybe it’s how long it’s been since I’ve eaten a piece of cake as big as my head. But...

4 forever.
It’s weird to feel loss over babies never conceived. It’s strange and selfish feeling. We decided, two years ago, to be done. We made that decision permanent. Nearly every night we talk about it, and...

The words we use.
Acceptable. Hot. Skinny. Okay. Good enough. Too much. Too flabby. Too soft. Good food. Bad Food. Clean food. Dirty food? The words we throw around as goals, or descriptors are big. They aren’t just...
