the simple things

we did go to the park wednesday, for the record. i forgot my camera but i took a few lame photos on my phone. i have to say i was proud of myself for keeping the "appointment" even though it was 50 degrees and crazy windy. i didn't plan well, either. no heavy coat or gloves or anything. so we only stayed about 30 minutes. at least it wasn't crowded [because no one in their right mind was going to be outside with a small child].


anyway, today's appointment: have a picnic in the backyard for lunch
i know, you can barely read the list... oh well.


i can't really tell if reese enjoyed it. she was tired and starving, so she basically concentrated on the task at hand- - scarfing down her food. either way, i enjoyed myself. sun shining and birds chirping, enjoying God's creation in our humble little yard with my precious girl who is growing up way too quickly... is that a run-on?

anyway, here's the proof:


on the menu? guacamole, broccoli, grapes, dried cranberries, pretzels, apple, water...

am i so boring? or just really healthy?

oh, and she wanted me to show you her pretty toes :)

poor girl got her momma's chubby feet
anyway, tomorrow is the weekend [and birds of a feather] so daddy will be taking over and doing lots of fun stuff with her. he's way more creative than i am when it comes to these activities. he's much better at following through with it too [he'll tell you it's because he has ADD and always has to be doing something].

  1. love those baby toes. how sweet. and your lunch looked really yummy! kids think eating outside on any kind of blanket is so special, for some reason. isn't that funny??

when you feel like a failure.

well. this post is hard for me to write. because i feel a little bit like a failure, but mostly an imposter . remember when i told you about Babywise , and i even posted a video all about how to get your child to sleep through the night and acted like i was this expert? yeah... well it turns out i'm not. you know how i have a ten month old baby? and, you know how she wakes up once or twice every night? some of you are thinking  well, duh. and i told you so . but here's what i want you to know:  it's really hard for me to admit defeat.  i want to share my heart with you; the deep, dark, ugly, and triumphant parts, and i just want you to hear me . i hope you'll honor that. i almost turned off the comments except that i want to leave them open for anyone that might be struggling like i was. so, do you remember when i wrote about  how i haven’t slept in almost a year  and how i feel like there’s no end in sight. you guys, sleep-deprivation is something that i don
