The Blame Game (or why I’m so tired)Posted by Alli on June 15, 2009
If you had talked to me on Saturday and asked how I was, I probably would have told you I was tired. And if you were aware that I had an almost four month old, you might have given me an understanding head nod and try to blame it on Tebow. Except, on Saturday, I [...]
My Babywearing JourneyPosted by Alli on June 12, 2009
Stephanie over at Adventures in Babywearing asked for readers to show off their babywearing stash. Babywearing isn’t something I really have written about, but it is now a part of my life. Since I wanted to show off my stash, I thought I would share a little bit about my journey to calling myself a [...]
Book Review :: The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn ClubPosted by Alli on April 28, 2009
Before I write this review, I have to say I think I was a little off my rocker to sign up for this. Finding time to read was difficult, but I soon figured out how to nurse and hold a book in one hand. When I was asked to review The Beach Street Knitting Society [...]

SmootherPosted by Alli on April 25, 2009
I’ve been getting more sleep lately, thanks to Tebow’s new found respect for the concepts of night and day. Last night I only had to get up once, which made me fine with starting the day at 6:30, the next time he woke up. But since I’m better rested, I have been trying to use [...]
PrioritiesPosted by Alli on April 20, 2009
As I’ve been trying to find my footing in the path to our “new normal” I have been thinking a lot about priorities. I think the idea was planted in my mind by Besty and her kind suggestion of putting only three items on the to-do list. I have tried, really, to figure out how [...]
Ten, tien, dix, zehn, dieci, dezPosted by Alli on April 10, 2009
No matter how you say it, ten is the number of years Damon and I have been married. April 10, 1999 was a beautiful day, full of joy and happiness for us both. The last ten years have been a roller coaster of events, emotions, and dreams. And I know there are many more years [...]
Win a chance to learn at Digital Days!Posted by Alli on March 28, 2009
Last June I was celebrating my brand new appendage- the Nikon D40. It was something I had been coveting for quite some time. And since it was a gift, it was even more special. I remember sitting around, thumbing through the manual and just wishing I could have a magic digital photography Genie pop up [...]
I don’t look good in sleep deprivationPosted by Alli on March 25, 2009
I’ve always heard the transition from one kid to two kids is hard. I’ve also heard the transition from two kids to three kids is easy. I would like to go ahead and request we have our third child so I can get to the easy. Being part of the parenting team of two kids- [...]
What I did on Monday will be on the Today Show this coming MondayPosted by Alli on March 6, 2009
This past Monday I was holding on to a little secret. We were expecting some special company, which meant we needed to have a clean house and I needed to be wearing something other than postpartum pajamas. Fortunately my house was in a mostly clean state since my mom had recently been visiting/ cleaning/ cooking. [...]
