November 3 and November 4th

So three days into the exercise and I already missed a day! I was pretty busy yesterday cleaning and doing 10 loads of laundry. Yes, you read that correctly, 10. That included diaper laundry, but man I was behind. I still have several loads left and then I have to put them all away :(

Anyhow, I kept thinking I will sit down and write a post and then nighttime came and it was time for work. So here we are today, having had 2 1/2 hours of sleep in the last 34 hours. Hopefully this post will make a little sense, as my brain is a little muddled.

Can you listen to music and write? What song did you hear today?

That really depends on my mood, amount of sleep and level of distractedness (not sure if that is a real word). I love music, all different kinds. I have at least 20 different stations on Pandora, ranging from Ingrid Michaelson to Vampire Weekend with some Cake, Queen, Josh Groban and Point of Grace mixed in there.

If I am trying to write something for fun I like listening to music with lyrics, but if I am doing something more serious it has to be lyric free. If I am really distracted or tired and trying to complete something, I have to turn the music off all together!

I heard many songs today, but currently I am listening to Diego sing about dinosaurs (not my first choice, by the way).

When you are writing do you prefer to use a pen or the computer?

I prefer using a pen, hands down! I LOVE using a pen and paper. I feel like I can be more creative. I am also a big fat nerd that really enjoys making lists just so that I can cross them off.

I love the beginning of school when school supplies go on sale. I love new notebooks and pens. I am  kind of picky about my pens. They have to feel right and I like different pens depending on the thickness of the paper, for example, I like a certain pen for writing in notebooks, and another for writing on loose paper. I need help, I know!

Because I know most of you are just coming to my blog to see cute pictures of the girls and not to hear my rambling thoughts, I will post a few cute pics.


Here is Ella with her friend Pearl at a carnival about a month and a half ago. They are silly girls and have a lot of fun together!


Daddy and his sweet girl at one of our favorite spots in New Haven, East Rock Ridge.

I turned around and found both girls in the same box in the living room. I'm sure glad they like each other!

  1. How do you like your baby carrier? I need to find one to carry my 20 pound 5 month old that won't kill my back. Any recommendations?

  2. I have the Original Ergo. It was a bit pricey, but the BEST money spent! I have tried quite a few different carriers and this one is superior to all of the rest. It distributes the weight between your back, hips and shoulders. I feel like she is secure when she is in there and she LOVES it! She sleeps in it sometimes and never really slept in any other carrier. I can get so much more done than I could before. I use it around the house to get work done, in the grocery store, when I take the dogs on walks, and when I take Ella to the park. I would highly reccomend getting one. You won't be sorry!
