Borrowed Earth: A good day

http://borrowed-earth.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-good-day.html

Adventures in urban homesteading. Some days just work out. The baby sleeps when she's supposed to; the boys don't fight too much. I'm able to feed everybody in relatively good time, and keep the house somewhat picked up. Those are good days, and when they happen I feel so much hope. The state of the kitchen table is usually a good indicator of the kind of day we've had here. So, today was a good day:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The glamour of the home-based office.

Borrowed Earth: 12 weeks

http://borrowed-earth.blogspot.com/2012/11/this-is-my-new-baby-who-is-somehow-now.html

Adventures in urban homesteading. This is my new baby, who is somehow now 12 weeks 1 day old. Meaning that she is no longer a newborn; she is instead an infant, gaining velocity and knowledge every moment. I have now shepherded three children from that magical existence in the womb through those delicate first weeks and into babyhood. And as much as I have tried to savor it, like pregnancy, the sharp memory of it quickly fades – no matter how you try to hang on. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Borrowed Earth: August 2011

http://borrowed-earth.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Adventures in urban homesteading. Last summer was horrid; it was 90 degrees and hotter all of May, June, July and August. This year has certainly been better. We had a couple heat waves lasting a few days, but the current HOT didn't set in until mid-July. We're in the third week of it now. If it wraps up in mid-August, I guess we'll be back to what I remember thinking was the norm. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Entrepreneuring editor. Amateur urban homesteader. Imperfect earth mama.

Borrowed Earth: November 2011

http://borrowed-earth.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Adventures in urban homesteading. Jonas, who apparently now grasps the phrase "Time flies" enough to make it his own, piped up from the back seat of the car this evening with the following announcements, produced in one long burst:. Time flies when you're mad! Time flies when you're watching movies in the car! Time flies when you're going to sleep with mommy and daddy and Baby Silas! Time flies when you're drinking milk! There you have it folks. Things to try next time you need some time acceleration.

Borrowed Earth: February 2011

http://borrowed-earth.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Adventures in urban homesteading. Every time we spend the morning in the backyard, we discover some new artifact. Today's find was a blue '55 T-bird matchbox car. Which, in Jonas' opinion, was a much better score than the 1970s-era sports sock and Pepsi can unearthed last week. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Entrepreneuring editor. Amateur urban homesteader.

Borrowed Earth: Zzz

http://borrowed-earth.blogspot.com/2012/10/zzz.html

Adventures in urban homesteading. Babies are each so different. It is often said, but even more often true. Jonas fell asleep in my arms, with his head resting on my shoulder, exactly one time when he was an infant. It is Nida's absolute preference. Not nursing. Not rocking. Not in a carrier or cradled in my arms. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The glamour of the home-based office. Entrepreneuring editor. Amateur urban homesteader. Imperfect earth mama.

Borrowed Earth: January 2014

http://borrowed-earth.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Adventures in urban homesteading. It has been nearly a year since I've been present in this space. Since February 2013. Much has changed for our family, and I'm grateful to say most of that change has been positive. My business, Fine Lines Editing. Quadrupled in size over the course of 2013, with several new clients and a wealth of new work, including my first published book. Due to his uncompromising opinions and stringent standards, but he also keeps us honest, so those standards aren't all bad. I feel...
