Happy Thursday!

Okay, it's been one week since my day from hell!  Basically that day consisted of a very sad baby (for reasons unknown) that only wanted to be held and walked...this meant no sitting down, no putting her down to play so I could, oh, I dunno-PEE or SHOWER...only holding and walking...A.L.L.D.A.Y...When Josh came home I was an unshowered, exhausted puddle of tears.  But, after a day like that, things can only get better.  Thankfully, this week has been a LOT better :-)  I went to yoga on Sunday which always makes me feel like a new person after "sweating it all out."  Also, I was under a lot of pressure to get my work project finished by Monday afternoon for a mediation on Tuesday-and thanks to Josh, I made it happen.  I think the stress of my first week back at work, the pressure to get stuff done at home, brought a lot of tension into the house.  But, now that I have officially successfully finished a project, hopefully I will feel less stress over "when is this girl going to take a nap so I can get some work done?!"  Now, all of that aside, here's a little nugget to help fill up your cuteness-tank for the day:


Awww, she's so sweet!!!

So, after starting my own blog, I have become sort of a blog-reading-junkie.  I just love coming across new blogs and adding them to my reading list.  Recently I have come across a couple of gems in the blogging world. 

First of all: http://www.kellehampton.com/ - check her out.  This past week I have delved into her story through her blog.  Her life was turned upside-down when she learned her second daughter had down syndrome at birth.  Inspiring, touching, raw writing, and great photography.  It is crazy to think that some stranger could stumble upon your blog and be so touched, reading post after post about your life...

The next blog I have been binging on is http://theardentsparrow.blogspot.com/  LOVE her stuff!!  Just the layout and design aspects of her blog are GORGEOUS.  She does this amazing 'digital scrapbooking' stuff that I have GOT to learn how to do.  A real design maven-absolutely adore her vintage style--inspiring in an aesthetic sense. 

Okay, just a couple of diamonds in the rough of the tangled internet blogging world!  Hopefully you can add those to your list too if you're a junkie like me!  And sense my baby IS actually asleep right now-I better actually get a little work done...until next time...

  4. FYI - I checked out Kelle Hampton's blog. Alot of her earlier posts seemed pretty self-promoting, but the story of Nella's birth ABSOLUTELY brought me to tears! Wow. Thanks for recommending it.

  5. Hi Jane! I'm glad to hear you've had a better week and you were able to get your project done and squeeze in a little "me" time at yoga. Harper is such a sweet little thing! She is lucky to have a mama like you! xoxo

    1. Liz! I've heard so much about you! How funny-I know at least FOUR babies now that were born on the 18th of whichever month this year. Really must be some kind of serendipitous! I am officially going to start reading your blog now in my typical blog-junkie fashion! :-)
