The Redesigned Mom

I am proud to announce the launch of my latest website project TheNestKids.com.

I haven’t been able to post the last couple of days nor will there likely be any hope of me posting in the next couple of days either. It is pushing 90 in my house right now and it isn’t even noon.
This is not normal for Seattle and yes we may be [...]

So days of fever and puking and diarhea came and went and Ian aquired one nasty case of diaper rash. Ooh, it was ugly. We tried everything we had left over in the house and nothing was helping and he was experiencing a significant amount of discomfort. Finally I remembered that I had heard someone at a baby shower recently talking about this amazing diaper cream you could get by asking the pharmacy.

Well, nothing earth shattering here but I thought it might be time that I post some photos. This is really hard for me, putting myself out there for the world to look at, but what the hey — here we go.

This process never ceases to amaze me. The weirdest stuff is happening to me. I squarely chalk this up to the fact that I must have had some serious stuff built up in my system as well as a significant amount of emotional blockage.

I have really been enjoying my new world of salads. Although most of the time I stick to the basics, I have found some really great more creative offerings as well. Nothing boring about this little number.

I has been very exciting watching the transformation of our backyard.

Just yesterday we completed the deck. Done, finished. It only took a little under a year. No biggie.
