Is this now a baby blog? For the moment perhaps. I have Detroit blog plans for the spring but right now life is work and preparing for Lucas. This weekend I’m going to get our hospital bag together. Currently, his coming home outfit is all we have and I’m totally obsessed with it. My SIL … More Happy Friday
It’s the home stretch. One month from today we may have a baby. I don’t pretend to guess if he’ll be early, punctual or late. Currently, I have no symptoms. An occasional round ligament pain but rarely. Ironically, Lucas’ former elusive movements have increased so I guess he still has room and is enjoying life. I … More Month 9
Gina and I hang out every Sunday night and it’s about to get a lot more interesting. She’s got a week on me and a mystery baby (I’m hoping it’s a boy too. In the meantime, we’re putting on a good (make-up less) face for these final weeks. Other updates: Hopeful that we’ll break even on … More Currently
Few things make me happier than Danny quoting a Dave Ramsey philosophy or telling me how he recommended the plan to someone. I’m so proud of how far we’ve come and year one of debt-freedom was fantastic. We didn’t track our spending in 2015 but our general sensibilities kept everything on track and we were … More Happy Friday!
After months of careful preparation it’s finally time to reveal Lucas’ nursery! As previously noted, the inspiration was 1940s Captain America. Roosevelt era history is my passion and something I hope Lucas will also appreciate. I love MARVEL movies/Netflix and it’s a ‘boy’ thing. The Cap is my favorite so it is the perfect blend. … More Lucas’ Nursery
I quickly fell in love with Some Luck and have been waiting for the sequel to be released. I should have set a Google alert because I was WAY behind on this. Fortunately, I checked out NPR’s best books of 2015 and discovered the final book in the trilogy was released this fall. I … More Must-Reads
In college I went through a serious Alan Rickman celeb crush phase. I watched every movie and YouTube video I could find. He has remained on my favorite actor list and it was only a year or so ago that Lindsey and I watched one of the creepiest movies ever simply because he was in … More Happy Friday
I really should have done this years ago but better late than never (my motto lately). Danny’s mom passed away, shortly before we were married. She was an amazing woman who took such good care of her family – especially her husband. It’s hard to know what to do in situations like that and I … More Dinners with Dad
I’ve started meal planning again in an effort to help our grocery budget. It’s not my favorite activity and the planning never really seems to work out (too few leftovers or too many). I’m hoping that with dedication I can get better at it. I don’t know if it’s pregnancy or age but my appetite/interest … More January Meals
My life is completely tied to paper, if it’s not physically written down I’m bound to forget about it. Target has cute and cheap planners/notebooks that I would be lost without. They also help keeping New Year resolutions a bit more fun. Week one of the new year and resolutions are holding steady(ish). I’ve made it … More Happy Friday
