Daisy, Just Daisy
So, backing up a few days on the calendar, Gracie and I flew out to Utah the Friday before Christmas, affording us a luxurious 7 days and some hours at my parents house. I haven’t spent that much time at home since my first Christmas break in law school (or perhaps college?) and it was…
It is no secret I’ve been a huge fan of my Canon camera, which I bought a few years ago. Naturally I’m so intrigued by the latest model of my camera (a Canon EOS Rebel T3i), which is the Canon EOS Rebel T5i. I’ve slowly added lenses to my collection and…
I was not kidding last week when I said I had to fit many moments of yuletide cheer into one weekend in Chicago, and we did our very best to get it all done. On Saturday morning we woke up and rather than being lazy (Saturday swim lessons are over) we got ready and met…
A little over a week ago we had family pictures done with Claire of Knoten Photography here in Chicago. We met Claire through Gracie’s daycare- her son attends the same one- and it has been great to make some “family friends” to have playdates with! B and I are both really happy with the…
Whew, Friday. We’ve had a great but very long week and I’m looking forward to some R&R this weekend, enjoying my Christmas tree and not making turkey and gravy. After the whirlwind that was Thanksgiving we got back to it- work, daycare, the usual. On Wednesday B had his office holiday dinner which is…
Ahhh Cyber Monday. Here we are, filling up our carts to fill up our stockings/trees/menorahs. Amazon links are affiliate but you should shop wherever you want, duh. (Shopping for a different age? Check out my Christmas/birthday ideas for 10 month olds and one year olds here) Stockings Stockings will be filled, for the most…
Life continues on at break-neck pace despite my lack of blogging. The new job is great but I have a big learning curve and I find that while I’m enjoying my days I come home and I’m exhausted before the lather-rinse-repeat cycle begins. I’ve been traveling for work as well, which has totally…
I know, I know, long time/no write. My new job is fantastic but to say I’m burning the candle at both ends (and anticipate doing so for awhile) would be an understatement. I’m making more lists than seems imaginable. All in all the changes are good, but I’m exhausted at the end of…
I won’t even start with “so I haven’t been blogging much” and I’ll just cut down to the chase. And to make a long story short (many interviews and written tests) I have accepted an offer for a new job. I’m leaving my current company in a few weeks, and then beginning with…
Gracie turns 2 on Sunday which is beyond hard to fathom- two years, how in the world, but there is no denying it. She is at a supremely fun age right now, or at least the good is very good (the bad is….woof). 1. The other day she was taking care of…
