Natalie installed my new header for me today. If you are still seeing the pink plaid header, do a hard refresh by hitting the shift key on your computer while clicking refresh on your browser. That should clear your cache and allow you to see my new header.

I’ve been writing the weekly feature I am Blissfully Domestic every Monday night for what will be 29 weeks tomorrow. It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed.  Seriously, my first I am BD post was on November 3rd, the day before election day. Doesn’t that feel like a world ago? 
Anyway, if you [...]

I asked my blog designer, Natalie, to make a new summer header for me.  I was looking for something, well, summery. Bright, fun, laidback. She designed some new patterns and I really like the one I picked out.  It should be ready soon, and I’m excited to show it off.

We gave it a go with breathing treatments for a little more than a week, but Littlest One’s cough and stuffy, runny nose is still lingering, so today we went to see the doctor.

From the way he described the condition of his throat last night, I didn’t think it could feel worse. He got his salt water together for gargling and asked if we had any tea. [...]

If you are an email subscriber you’ve probably noticed that you haven’t gotten any updates in a long time. My Feedburner email delivery service stopped working and I couldn’t figure out why. I never removed the from from my sidebar because I kept telling myself that I’d fix it. Being the master procrastinator that I [...]
