And So It Goes: Weighing on My Mind
http://casabamel.blogspot.com/2013/07/weighing-on-my-mind.html
And So It Goes. Sunday, July 7, 2013. Weighing on My Mind. My daughter is beautiful. Sometimes I look at her and can't believe what a lovely girl she is. But I try not to tell her too often, cause I don't want her to get a complex. And I don't want it to define her. I do not want her to think someday that if she's not beautiful, it doesn't matter what else she is. I want her to know that she's also funny, and silly, and smart, and strong, and that she can do anything she wants in this world. She didn't g...

And So It Goes: In other news
http://casabamel.blogspot.com/2013/06/in-other-news.html
And So It Goes. Saturday, June 1, 2013. These two adore each other. I really can't believe how old she is! Or how much I love her when she's not asking me "why" just because she's bored. These people came. As did my parents, though they somehow escaped the pictures. Tommy got a new doll, cause he and Scout were fighting over hers all the time. She, of course, appropriated the new one and has let him have free reign with the older (nicer) doll. Tommy still loves ice cream. And dancing and jewelry. Kylie i...

And So It Goes: Haircut
http://casabamel.blogspot.com/2013/02/haircut.html
And So It Goes. Friday, February 22, 2013. I love Thomas's hair. It has been awesome his entire life (except those few months when it was plagued with cradle cap, but we're trying to block that from memory). Always cute, always looking like I did it on purpose. Sadly, those days reached their end. It was approaching the mullet stage, and getting in his eyes. So, haircut time came. It needs a little trimming still (haven't had the energy for Part II yet), but overall I'm pretty happy with the result.

And So It Goes. Sunday, March 25, 2012. Older is Not Necessarily Less Fun. The only thing missing was Sheena, the friend who got us all reading The Hunger Games in the first place. Sunday, March 4, 2012. Striped Tights and Other Fashion Adventures. A jumper that's too small, gym shorts and technicolor striped tights? Sure Heck, those tights will also go nicely with a plaid skirt and heart patterned shirt. At least it's easy to find her in a crowd! On Becoming an Adult. Now that I've joined this elite gro...

And So It Goes: January 2013
http://casabamel.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
And So It Goes. Sunday, January 20, 2013. Before he started walking, Thomas got into climbing. He really likes to crawl into small spaces. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn't. This particular day, he pulled nearly everything off the bottom shelf of the linen closet and crawled in. Then, of course, once we started paying attention to him, his sister thought it would be fun to join in. Of course Tommy wasn't thrilled to have his sister laying practically on top of him.

And So It Goes: Advice for a Newly at Home Mom
http://casabamel.blogspot.com/2013/02/advice-for-newly-at-home-mom.html
And So It Goes. Friday, February 22, 2013. Advice for a Newly at Home Mom. My cousin recently became a stay-at-home-mom and expressed her conflicted feelings. At being at this point in her life (motherhood is not necessarily her first choice of careers). She asked for insight on how stay-at-home-moms and housewives maintain their sanity. This is my response:. 7 - Don't let anyone else (including me! Spending time with your husband? 10 - Know that this full-time mom who also has a full-time job is jealous...

And So It Goes: May 2012
http://casabamel.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
And So It Goes. Sunday, May 13, 2012. A few of the mothers I knew left their husbands with the kids and went on vacation this weekend. That's an idea I was pining for at a few points today. But, now that they're sleeping (fairly) peacefully [pauses to swaddle Thomas again and sing Virginia one last lullaby], I'm looking at their pictures and counting my blessings. I'm glad we had no potty accidents today (and even one success! Well done, Carl's Cakes. Absolutely worth the drive. All in all, it was a fun ...

And So It Goes: Gone to Pieces
http://casabamel.blogspot.com/2013/06/gone-to-pieces.html
And So It Goes. Saturday, June 1, 2013. But then, the hard part of being a grad student happened. My friends and their husbands started to graduate. And they moved away. All the permanent ward members told us how hard it is to make friends and see them go, but it really is really hard! I miss Jenn, who taught me not to fear childbirth and that my body is strong and knows what to do. I miss Sheena, who taught me to say what I think and introduced me to the Hunger Games and Ingrid Michaelson. And I dont kn...
