… said Nya after eating a bowl of pasta and 4 baby dills. And what happened next? … up she blows. Nasty. Yes, I should have trusted my better judgment after day #4 of barfing and diarrhea, BUT the fact she even had an appetite made me want to give her whatever she was asking […]
Elli
Which Is Grosser?
…. barf or diarrhea? … or how bout both mixed? Ya, I know. Disgusting. That’s what I got to clean up in Nya’s high chair after finally getting both girls to bed tonight (a tiny miracle in itself). My poor babies are both sick so my day started out with cleaning up puke and ended […]
Is it Worth It?
As an Alaskan mom I often ask myself this question when it comes to winter activities. On average it takes about 20 minutes to get both the girls and myself ready to go play outside in the winter. And how long do we actually spend outside?… hmmm… on a good day, maybe 25 minutes. Then […]

Officially Fall
Today was the first official day of fall so I thought it would be appropriate to put up a couple leafy photos… The last couple weeks have been crazy times for the four of us. I’m definitely glad that I’ve had this time off. From having a baby to taking our first family trip to […]
Elliana’s Song
There is a song called Elliana’s Song by Watermark that Niki has liked for a while now and I thought it would be fitting to put Elli’s first couple days to it. My ulterior motive was to see if I could make Niki cry watching the video and I’m happy to say that it worked […]
Elli’s First Trip To The Park
View In High Resolution We had our first trip to the park today as a family of four. It wasn’t the nicest day but we had a fun time for all of the 30 minutes that we were there. Nya is able to get around pretty good and kept saying “BIG” when she’d get up […]
