How have I never had baked sweet potato before now? With a little butter and brown sugar on top- divine!

Purge!
Maybe it’s spring, or perhaps the raft of visitors we are looking forward to this month, but I’m seeing my home with new eyes and feel like its time to purge!

Milestones- almost 14 months
Scotter will be 14 months a week from tomorrow. Here’s his latest: -saying tuh, tuh, tuh while he wiggles his fingers and tickles you -saying buh buh buh while he “beeps” your nose -saying “AH” as he holds out a cheerio, piece of bread, etc to feed you -says “hah, hah” and waves his hand…

Privacy
I wish I had a place in my yard where I could go where I didn’t have to worry about small dogs attacking me, neighbors gawking, or loud phone conversations. A place where I could lay out a blanket, lie down and write in my journal without being observed by the whole neighborhood. I wish…

Shopping Fun
Today, I had my first real shopping cart “fun” with Scotland. He stood up in the seat, so I pulled him out “for a minute.” When the time came for me to check out, I needed to put him back in the seat. I literally couldn’t get him in. He was holding on to the…

Looking back
I’m working on putting our blog from 2011 into InDesign so I can publish it. It’s been fun to go back and see pictures from the past year. I’ve been particularly interested, that sometimes the pictures that I chose to put on the blog then, aren’t the pictures I would choose to put in the…
