Hello Out There.....

It feels like the blogging community has been through an apocalypse and not many bloggers are left alive. Come out, come out where ever you are!

Almost Fall?

I truly cannot believe that Fall is almost here. What happened to Summer? No, really what happened to Winter, Spring, and Summer?

My first months of motherhood have gone by so fast. Most of of the time has been spent in a haze gooing and gaaing with my son.

Also, losing my memory! Mommy brain makes it so I never remember anything. Seriously, I feel that my mind ( once a steel trap) is now like a worn piece of tape that nothing will stick to!

So, anyway, what was I talking about? Oh yes, Fall! Though it crept up on me, I'm glad it's here! It brings fun things: pumpkin recipes, colder weather, Ollie's first Halloween and Thanksgiving, and so much more!

I'm excited!

Ollie's Favorite Song!

Watch "Toes - Zac Brown Band Lyrics" on YouTube

It's true, if I don't play it in the car he gets super upset! So cute!

Vote for Ollie!

Pretty please! I've done an incredibly annoying parent thing.... I think Oliver is the cutest baby, so I've entered him in the Parents magazine cover contest! Please go here and vote for him this week! I think you can vote once a day! :) Thanks in advance!!!

Today's Note

How you feel, Jessica, is more important than anything else.

And this is something you get to choose, moment by moment.

How you feel, Jessica, is more important than anything else.

A great reminder of something we tend to forget in the busyness of everyday.

Don't Really Have Anything to Say....

but this guy is a total sleazebag! Honestly it's not really a surprise that Arnold Schwarzenegeer fathered a love child with a member of his staff, is it?

Today, I Like This

and, evidently, so does Oliver ....this morning it was the only thing that would keep him from crying!

My First Mother's Day!

Spent all day with my smiley happy baby! What more could I ask for?! Still crazy to me that I'm a mom. It hasn't fully sunk in yet! Here is a great article on Mother's Day, by Phyllis Chesler. This paragraph, especially, speaks to me.

Female motherhood is both a sacred undertaking and a sacred experience. Becoming a mother—giving birth to or raising another precious human being—changes you as nothing else can. You are pitched, head-long and feet-first into a parallel universe, a new way of life, a craft, a passion which tempers and deepens all those who engage in it.

Happy Mother's Day!
