Treading Softly: November 2014

http://blueeyedtreehugger.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Happy Fall (& 7 Month Update). Halloween was a giant low maintenance success this year. The 3 year old wanted to be a Ninja Turtle (same as last year) and the 6 year old didn't have any requests or complaints about going as Batman again so we reused last year's costumes and the baby, of course, went as Tigger just as his brothers did for their first Halloweens. Sitting on a blanket or mat playing with toys. His favourite thing to do. First snow fall of 2014. A CUP OF JO.

Treading Softly: February 2015

http://blueeyedtreehugger.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 27, 2015. Budding outdoorsman just like his brothers. This post is super late in that Noah will be 11 months old in just a few short days but better late than never, right? I usually try to jot a few notes down throughout the month on my Notes application on my iPhone. I'm really happy I've continued to do this. With the other boys I was more sporadic in recording updates and didn't do too many with N at all. Here are my notes on Noah at 10 months:. Everywhere. and at lightning speed.

Treading Softly: Carving out the life we want to live

http://blueeyedtreehugger.blogspot.com/2015/04/carving-out-life-we-want-to-live.html

Sunday, April 19, 2015. Carving out the life we want to live. We've been looking at our finances and trying to better align them with our values, goals, and the things that make us happiest. Our family budget (which I just realized I need to write an update post on! We also just made a big family. What a fabulous reason to not be blogging! I always enjoy reading about how people are being intentional in their choices and carving out the life they want. Thanks for sharing! April 20, 2015 at 9:00 AM.

Treading Softly: August 2014

http://blueeyedtreehugger.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 25, 2014. Keeping our cable package and screen time. For years I've been pushing to get rid of cable TV. Mainly to save money but also to cut screen time. We don't have strict rules around screen time in our house. We have two TVs. One in our bedroom is rarely used. We have an older PS3 which we mostly use to play movies from an external hard drive. We own a few kid-friendly video games for the PS3 but they aren't often played. Any rules around TV in your house? Monday, August 18, 2014.

Treading Softly: September 2014

http://blueeyedtreehugger.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Monday, September 22, 2014. So long sweet summer. The view from our hammock at the trailer. Taken a few weekends ago. No filter. I will find secure an meaningful employment. I am loving my job! I will continue to pay off debt (at least $10,000) this year while at the same time taking a family vacation. I will make our house a home. I will make an effort to be healthy. I'm really excited about this goal because for the first time in 10 years, I'll be doing an organized sport! Monday, September 8, 2014.

Treading Softly: February (Return to Monthly Goals)

http://blueeyedtreehugger.blogspot.com/2015/02/february-return-to-monthly-goals.html

Sunday, February 1, 2015. February (Return to Monthly Goals). That was so awesome! It was so crazy watching my 6 year old do something I probably couldn't pull off and something that took guts. I haven't actually felt that overwhelmed with joy in a long time. It was such a good feeling. Getting back to myself. I started reading chapter books with B at night. We began Charlotte's Web. I booked a half day off of work for next month and scheduled several medical appointments for that morning. We created a n...

Treading Softly: Noah @ 9 Months

http://blueeyedtreehugger.blogspot.com/2015/01/noah-9-months.html

Sunday, January 18, 2015. Noah @ 9 Months. With each day that passes we are getting more and more glimpses of Noah's growing personality. He is so into his big brothers now and the cutest thing is hearing all 3 of them laughing together. Some highlights from this month:. No new teeth. Still just 2 little bottom teeth. Noah now eats mostly non-pureed foods. His brothers liked seeing him eat a few plain goldfish crackers this month. We've been offering him whatever we have been eating where we can.

Treading Softly: June 2014

http://blueeyedtreehugger.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Definitely not my work wardrobe. Apart from being nervous about leaving Noah to go to work next week, I've been worrying about what I'll wear since my wardrobe for the last 10 weeks has consisted of nothing but pajama and sweat pants and maternity casual clothing. Anything remotely tight around my midsection was uncomfortable either due to sore abdominal muscles or my incision area. New work clothes (approx. $90). Sunday, June 15, 2014. Up the back poop explosions. Rolled from s...

Treading Softly: October 2014

http://blueeyedtreehugger.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Saturday, October 25, 2014. Noah and motherhood at 6 months. This update is a little late but I can hardly believe Noah has been with us for half a year already! It seems to have gone by in the blink of an eye. Last Thanksgiving we were sharing the news with friends and family that we were expecting and here we are this year as a family of 5. It's hard to remember life before him. At 6 months, Noah is:. Nearly 18 pounds and eating solids! A mega drooler. I keep expecting to see a tooth any day but bo...
