Welcome!




Welcome to my new blog! After having some problems with MSN, I decided to give in to peer pressure and have a blogger account. So, everyone who reads this, take this moment to add this to your favorites and delete the other one.






The nice thing about this is it has video support. Here is some exciting footage of Addie, who just figured out how to roll! She is also grabbing things, giggling, and babbling up a storm. This age is fun, so much more than the whole newborn thing.












I wish Matt was home to see this, but I guess he will just have to live it through the video. Matt is in Palm Springs this week. He left on Thursday and gets back on Thursday. He will be home until Sunday when he leaves for Hawaii. As my buddy Jen pointed out, this was the trip I went with him on last year when I told him we were prego!




I have a few cute pics of the girls, I just found them matching PJ's and thought it was really cute. Now I know why my mom used to dress us girls alike, its fun and they are too little to object!

Edited to add: Ok, so I haven't quite figured out the whole formatting thing. I'm working on it!

Oh, that video is just precious; especially the look on her face when she rolled over. Isn't that a little early to be rolling over? Oh, nevermind, she's a prodigy...she has to be...she's in our family ;-).

Working on my Domestic Goddess Badge

I looked at the to-do list I made last week and am happy to say I can cross off almost everything on it. It only took me 2 weeks. I think I either need smaller lists or more time. Here is what I have been up to: -I have made 2 loaves of banana oat bread, 1 batch of blackberry strawberry freezer jam, 1 loaf of gluten free bread. -From 12 juiced grapefruit I made grapefruit curd and a pan of grapefruit bars. -My garden is almost completely done, including a upgrade in size. I am growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, potatoes , cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , herbs, lettuce, spinach , green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, and kohlrabi. -I hung herbs to dry -I have folded massive amounts of laundry...with more yet to do. All washed with my homemade laundry soap. -I recovered the "green monster" which is another post entirely. -I added a sitting area in my bedroom, where I am currently sitting, so that my laptop has a home other than the kitchen table. - I got a new dining room table a

A few years ago, a group of friends and I read a great book called "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck". If you haven't read this book, you are missing out. Its quality. It also came at a time in my life that I really needed the message; you can't care about everything. This book encourages you to figure out your values and use your time in energy in THOSE places, because we can't invest ourselves in every thing, even if they are good things! Its no secret that I was raised in family culture that was heavily evangelical Christian. Anyone who knows me at all knows that I hold that faith system and those who follow it in NO high regard. The last 5 years has confirmed that opinion. Even though I was raised to make Christianity my value set, and it was for many years, I find that I no longer align with those values, people or that style of thinking. I am proud, thrilled, at peace, and excited to be an atheist. My life has never been more on track or full of joy than

Birth Story of Jamison Drake Crocker

Not everyone likes to hear how a baby made his way into the world. If you are one of those who just wants to know that baby has arrived and everyone is doing great, then read no further than this paragraph. Jamison Drake Crocker was born at 10:45 on Friday morning, May 18th. He is a big, healthy boy weighing 9lbs and 2oz and is 21.5 inches long. Mama and baby are doing great, sisters are in love and papa is proud. If you are still reading, consider yourself warned. Birth can be messy, and while I have every intention of keeping this non-stomach churning, not all stomachs are made of the same stuff. On Thursday night, Matt had to be in the city for a press event. Around 10:00 I texted and asked him for an ETA and he said he would be home around midnight. I took my very round self and went to bed. I slept fitfully, big and uncomfortable and being woken up by contractions every so often kept me from falling into a deep sleep. At 3:00 am I got up only to find Matt wasn't home. I
