Wednesday, October 1, 2014. Photography: Eleanor Turns Four. I've been absent for a couple of weeks because the kiddo and I have been super sick, sad face. It's just allergies but this round has really kept the two of us down, taking naps on the couch and watching movies while we blow our noses. What better time to share a photoshoot from back in June? I always hold on to these and post them when I'm too busy to come up with regular content or in this case, too sick. I really need a little girl of my own.

Thursday, January 29, 2015. 25 Week Bump and Baby Update. So here we are, at 25 weeks! I haven't lost count, I am aware that I said 23 weeks just last week, but that all changed when I went to the Doctor on Friday. Baby and I are still completely healthy, she's on track with growth and I'm doing good. Now that I've hit the 3rd trimester, the comforts of the the 2nd are slowly dwindling away. I'm having a harder time sleeping. Nausea is returning when it pleases. Sooo tired, all the time. Which just means...

Thursday, April 16, 2015. Baby Maeve's Eclectic Nursery. I can't hardly believe I accomplished it, but I've completed the nursery. I don't have a single room in my house done, yet I managed this. I go in there everyday and just sit, soak in the baby's room while it's quite and chaos hasn't arrived yet. I'm pretty excited to show it off, except for one thing. The room is too tight for me to use my camera for full shots. I need a wide angle lens, which I don't have. so I had to use my, gasp, phone. On the ...

I know, it's almost Thanksgiving. that's just how far I am running behind. on everything right now. Anywho, let's rewind a few weeks so I can talk about Halloween!

In 2011 he was Batman. In 2013, he w...

Friday, August 29, 2014. Skip to the end if you just want the recipe card! I promised quite some time ago that I would share my bread recipe when I got it perfected and folks, I have finally done it. Probably somewhere around 50 loaves later, I finally feel like I know what I'm doing, I mean, I can make this by memory now. First off, Sift Your Flour. Also, there's weevils. Image via Doctor Who Wikia. Wait, sorry, wrong kind. Sometimes as a geek, I get confused. There we go. Ewww, much uglier. You can rea...

Saturday, December 6, 2014. 17 Week Bump and Baby Update. Oh happy day, I've finally hit the second trimester and I'm finally getting some energy back, day by day. The appetite comes and goes, but at least I have one now! About the baby, everything is going fine with him/her, growing well, labs are all good, at this time we have nothing to worry about. Except for maybe, who is in there! What did they think they saw? If you're a boy, I'm really sorry for all my poor planning! I have hardly gained weight, ...

Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Dining Room - Update 2. I finally have made it back around to the dining room, it's about time. Last time the dining room graced the blog, it had a fresh coat of paint and a list things "to do" before I feel it's at least looking complete. I haven't completed the list but I'm much happier with how the room looks now! Oh that's a pretty view! Wood Blinds - Negative. A Large Rug - Check! Recovered the Chairs - Check! Art and Decor - Check! Table Decor - Umm, well, sorta. I ended ...

Thursday, April 2, 2015. Bump and Baby Update: Week 34. Apparently I have fallen a little behind on the week by week photos, a whole 4 weeks worth! I'm getting to the difficult point, everything aches and she's moved down. It's not super evident with my stomach sitting all high and round as it does, but I can tell when she moves. I swear, some days, she is trying to punch her way out down there. My due date is supposedly May 16th, but I don't think I'm making that. As you can tell, I'm a procrastinator.

Thursday, April 30, 2015. What's In My Bag? Still pregnant over here, I mean, we're barely tapping 38 weeks but I feel so very pregnant. The good news? My body is doing all kinds of not so beautiful things over the past few days that lead me to believe we are close! But at the same time, she can stay snug in there for a few more weeks if she wants. It's all about a healthy baby, no matter how done I am with being pregnant. I like to wait until the last minute on important things like this. A Large Pajama...
