Lookin’ stylish in my maternity tank and runner’s tights, oh yeah. I’ve gotten most of what we need for baby boy… it’s just not here… Read More 28.5 Weeks = Bigger and Better + A Question On Car Seats
Shelly, Dirk, and Cindy {l – r} How’s this for precious? It’s a photo of my 3 eldest siblings. I wonder what ever happened to those car seats…
Today, I’m thankful for Andrea, Brooke, Catherine, Emma, Erin, Danae, Jane, Rebecca, and Shannon. All of the above were at my baby shower on Saturday. It was so much fun!

Alright, alright… I’m doing something that I swore I wouldn’t do: I’m posting a photo of me, pregnant, on my blog. Ack! I’m making a face as I type this. I’ve never been a fan of “belly pics” for two reasons: (1) I hate the phrase “belly pic”, and (2) I don’t like having my… Read More A Real, Honest-to-Goodness Pregnancy Picture

When I mentioned this to… Read More When Good Carrot Cake Goes Green {It’s the Baking Soda, Stupid!}

Chris and I finally took our trip to Waiheke Island. Rather than making an overnight of it, we decided to just go for the day and save the extended trip for another time. We started out by walking to the Auckland Ferry Building. We purchased our tickets and waited for the ferry to arrive. We… Read More Waiheke Island
I’ve decided that for however long we’re in New Zealand – whether that is 5 years or 50 years – we are staying put. No more moving, no more packing, no more unpacking – this is it. The thing about moving to another country is that you can’t just unpack and throw away the boxes. … Read More Moving Day Carnage

I’m back from our little trip to Nashville, IN, and I’m so glad that we went. The weather was perfect – cool, sunny, hint of a breeze, and the slight smell of burning leaves in the air. Aaaah, Fall.

Happy belated birthday to my dad, B! Dad is a family practice doctor in Indiana. I first started working for him when I was 15 years old, and it’s part of the reason I became a nurse. I wish that I could’ve spent the day celebrating with family, but had to suffice with just a… Read More Belated Happy Birthday!
