Inside the Mind of Genevieve
Mama’s side:
I know you’re hungry baby girl. See, mama’s making your bottle. Ok I got the formula in the bottle now we just have to shake it up to mix it. Don’t cry it’s coming I promise.
Genevieve’s side:
Oh my God woman! I was trying to tell you I was hungry before you insisted it was bath time! When I was grabbing your hand and trying to bite you that...
WatchI can’t stop laughing at this.
Beyaz
I just want to say that I absolutely despise the Beyaz birth control commercial. It basically says you can have a baby OR you can travel and buy a house and have a life. That’s such crap. I’m planning on traveling quite a bit even with a child. We would have bought a house by now if we wanted to live in El Paso beyond the next two years. I have fun on a daily basis. I still have a...
Jealous of a Zebra
Ok well no, not really. But I’m a bit offended that Genevieve prefers the Zebra to hold the spoon while she eats.
This is Zeebie the Zebra. It’s a favorite toy. This morning when Genevieve decided she didn’t want the rice cereal again I though, let’s try something different. She ate a lot more than she has in the past few days. I’ll go with what works. If she...

Here’s something I haven’t had to worry about in well over a year.
Can't Do It
Today I worked a full day. I left the house at 7:45am and didn’t return until 5:45pm. I judged high school debate. I could not do this on a daily basis. I missed my baby so much. By the time I got home and ate dinner it was time for her bath, bottle, and bedtime. I feel like I was cheated and didn’t have nearly enough time with her today.
At least both me and Sebastian were a...
New Skill
When you become a mom you acquire all sorts of new skills such as eating with one hand, balancing baby while you cook, clean, fold laundry, and other such valuable things.
Today I acquired one for the books.
I can now hold baby and open a bottle of beer with a bottle opener.
I’m not sure if I should be proud or ashamed.
Day #13 of my Baby Steps
I don’t think I’ve stuck with anything this long to be honest. 13 days of decluttering is amazing for someone like me. Well, kinda 13 days of decluttering anyway. It’s actually only a few minutes a day but still. I’ve gotten up, gotten dressed, and gotten to work for 13 days now.
Today I scrubbed all of the counters in the kitchen. I even moved the microwave out of...

Nap Time
My sister Margaret is pretty good at picking out gifts for people. This year for Christmas she gave Sebastian a book that involved both samurai and buddhism. She gave me a Seek and Find tube toy thingy (if you have no idea what I’m taking about just ask, it’s hard to explain but freaking awesome) and I’ve always wanted one but never really thought of asking for it. For...

Scary Moments in Motherhood (parts 1 & 2)
The week of Thanksgiving Genevieve started sleeping through the night. This was great because it meant I started sleeping through the night as well. Of course I still got up every now and then but her sleeping in the bassinet right next to my bed made this an easy job.
One morning however I woke up and looked into the bassinet to check on her and thought my worst fear was being realized. It...

Honduras Love Project
I am currently raising money to share love throughout the world in a somewhat simple way, my goal is to raise 1500$ to take a trip to Honduras to simply spread love, hope, and encouragement to others. I will be raising money by selling friendship bracelets for five dollars…
Reblog for a cause. :)
Hardcore Baby
Got through the shots. Of course I cried, though I was much better than last time. Genevieve did fine. She’s in her crib now talking to her mobil instead of napping so I’m guessing she’s over it.
I almost had to slap the receptionist though. If today was the 4 month check up then how is it possible that February 5 would be the right date for the 6 month check up? As though...
Day 6 of Organizing my Life
Last I wrote about the FlyLady. Well, today I’m still doing it and it feels pretty darn good. I’m taking my baby steps, today all I had to do was work on my hotspot (go to her website to find out what that means, www.flylady.net, it’s worth it) for only 2 minutes and it already looks better. That’s all I’m doing today.
Genevieve is teething. It’s only the...
WatchShe’s not in pain. It’s just her new thing. She’s going to be loud like her mom!
