dedicated to all you nice folks that send positive thoughts to my babies

tgimff
my littles are one month today!
i'm writing this from my phone with a baby on my breast
how's that for multitasking???

it has been a great month
the mister has been off, my dad has been taking care of the house and the dog, and we have just been parenting our asses off
i realize that i am speaking from a place of privelege when i say that all the difficulty people warned us about was grossly overstated
if your partner can be present and you have some help, it's pretty simple
I hate that most men don't get close to a month off
we have been so lucky in that regard
of course all this will change next week when daddy goes back to work and im solo!!!

the babies themselves - they're fckng adorable and great sleepers and they smell all good and are just the best

this wkend! auntie zazzles is coming!
brunch, a baby wearing meetup (so crunchy), and 60 something degrees in the chi!
have a great two days everyone!!!

i enjoy seeing all the photos of your family
so happy for y'all :)

i'm trying to figure out how to do more of what i love
i have an idea but i haven't acted on it yet

i'm wearing my new penny loafers today...that's all i got :D

happy positive friday, y'all :)

i was able to buy wildchild the following:
-3 pair of shorts
-3 pair of spring pants
-romper
-3 shirts
-1 sweatshirt
- pink sunglasses (she just HAD to have them LOL)
- 1 swimsuit

i got myself
-2 cardigans
-1 pair of shoes
-1 leather belt

all for $170

im so freaking happy!

this girl is 4 years old
wearing a 6 in girls :(
so no more toddler prices
if you are a parent of a kid
im sure you know how much of a score this was

what a time to be alive.
i'm happy to be here
despite a few things
but
i'm alive and my son is happy and healthy.

looking forward to spring in chicago and everything that comes with it.

going to be weird coming and not seeing the french connection! :-(

but really excited to see my babies and how they've grown since december!

my workouts this week were awesome and that's absolutely positive!

enjoy the weekend y'all

i feel very internet-stalkerish but your family is beautiful :)

i'm having a great week. amazing meeting on monday. great to have some institutional support for our project/org. it's starting to feel real.

feeling ok about all the coursework i have to do. i'm not gonna work myself to death over it. i'll do as much as i can, and focus my main energy on my dissertation.

got a interview on monday for an internal position at my job. i like the company, the people, and the location is perfect, so i'd rather stay than go elsewhere. hope it works out.

still swooning over the new boo. he's so awesome :)

have a great weekend everyone! xx

i love the pics.
and i'm glad you have a strong support system right now.
keep relying on it because you'll need it more as time marches on.

i'm happy that my awful week is almost over.
i've not had this much bad luck in pre-production in a LONG fucking time.
my shoot yesterday went really really well but my shoot in LA next week has gone to hell.
i don't buy that Friday the 13th crap.
everything is fixable or at least salvageable.

anyhow- last night was the first time i got sleep all week.
i need a little more.
i'm happy my seedlings are coming along and spring is nearly here.
i'm happiest in my garden with my girls.
it's warmer than usual.
i feel like i might be getting back into running soon.
i'm happy b/c there is so much love in my life and i have the best network of friends!

Started back at swim class yesterday the new teacher is pretty awesome

Yay the babies are adorable!

Just ran around town and heading into a nap
