tales of grace: My favorite days are SICK days.

http://talesofgrace.blogspot.com/2012/10/my-favorite-days-are-sick-days.html

Friday, October 19, 2012. My favorite days are SICK days. Grace has two speeds - 100% health, totally crazy toddler mode, which involves very little listening, quite a bit of whining and more Yo Gabba Gabba than a sane adult can take. Then,. There is sickly Grace. Sickly Grace intermittently smiles, trys. To boogie to Yo Gabba Gabba, and only has taste for bananas and Ritz crackers. That. Is when you know Grace is under the weather. Add a slightly matted nene. I'd like to add here that Grace ONLY wants t...

tales of grace: Dear Grace

http://talesofgrace.blogspot.com/2013/05/dear-grace.html

Thursday, May 30, 2013. It has been SO long since I've written. I barely remembered I had this blog. It is currently midnight on a Thursday night and you're upstairs reading books to John-Boy (you're favorite mangy, vanilla scented stuffed dog), up way. Too late. But I love to hear your little voice up there just talking away. Dad and I spend a lot of time saying "No, Grace! We just got back from an awesome trip to Florida to visit your Grammy and Grampy. You had a blast! I'm worried I'm making you a wor...

Getting Organized -- My Family Message Center {take two} -- Tatertots and Jello

http://tatertotsandjello.com/2011/11/getting-organized-my-family-message-center-take-two.html

DIY decorating and crafts. DIY Projects and Ideas. 1905 Cottage Remodel Projects. Getting Organized — My Family Message Center {take two}. November 9, 2011. I am not a naturally organized person. So one of the things that’s hard when my kids go back to school is keeping track of all of the papers and notes that come home in their backpacks. There have been many times that some crucial papers have been accidentally swept into the garbage in one of my efforts to tidy up my kitchen. I took a piece of sheet ...

tales of grace: Birth Story

http://talesofgrace.blogspot.com/p/birth-story.html

Believe it our not, our perfect little girl wasn't exactly planned. We both always knew we wanted children but hadn't really settled on the who. Of it all. Ryan and I had been dating for a couple of years and had been living together as well. We were your typical ramblers. Ryan, a musician and a bit of a philanderer, and myself, an avid knitter and all around job bouncer, loved. I experienced so many emotions in such a brief period of time, but at the forefront was total fear. Winter was long,. Possibly ...

tales of grace: Goodbye, Charlie.

http://talesofgrace.blogspot.com/2013/06/goodbye-charlie.html

Tuesday, June 18, 2013. This week has been a miserable, stressful, no good, f*#k fest; with each new day equally as nightmarish as the last. If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. It began about a week and half ago, Friday. Father's day was on the horizon and I was reeling over what to get Ryan from Grace. When I'm not taming a toddler, refolding laundry for the eighth time, or working, I'm moonlighting as G's personal shopper. So, I sat there asking myself "What does Ryan like? Fast forward...

tales of grace: here we go again...

http://talesofgrace.blogspot.com/2014/01/here-we-go-again.html

Friday, January 31, 2014. Here we go again. I recently watched a video on 'the art of gratitude'. When I first saw this video trending on my Facebook feed, I'll admit, I was annoyed. Generally, if I'm perusing the. Social network, I'm looking for raw. Trashy, mostly fictitious gossip. I want to see the people I went to high school with making bad choices, updates on Kim Kardashian's epic life fails, and Bieber. Keep it light, right? Since I last wrote, quite a bit has changed. Ryan and I are engaged ...

tales of grace: Oh, Grace.

http://talesofgrace.blogspot.com/2012/11/oh-grace.html

Friday, November 30, 2012. Was said, or the ever popular f-bomb. Maybe both. If ever there were a day that demanded a slew of poorly strung together unmentionables, today was that day. Yesterday was surgery day and today I'm left with a Vicodin hangover and an over sized q-tip in place of an operational middle finger. What (outside from flipping the bird). Do you so desperately need a middle finger for? On your dominate hand - everyfuckingthing. Bites all at once. Totally Mommy beat-down. Ryan stepped in...

tales of grace: I am Mother, hear me ROAR!

http://talesofgrace.blogspot.com/2013/08/i-am-mother-hear-me-roar.html

Friday, August 23, 2013. I am Mother, hear me ROAR! I officially have a three year old. A preschooler. An adorable little human who resembles me and and acts out like Ryan. She is like 4 feet tall and is rocking a pretty serious 80's rocker mane. She is fiercely driven and unbelievably stubborn. Three years ago, I birthed this human being. Three years and TEN months ago (yes, Grace was late), in an incredibly unforeseen twist of fate, Ryan and I found out we were going to be parents. Those first few ...
