Monday, April 14, 2014. If you have met me or read this blog, you can probably tell that I often struggle with perfection. I want to do everything right, do everything well, and to just do, well,. And while there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to be able to do all of those things, the reality of my current phase of life makes some of those things nearly impossible. And even if they aren't impossible, I'm learning I can only have. I read this post. I was reminded of what my priorities as a parent.

Monday, January 19, 2015. I'm officially 19 days into my Capsule Wardrobe and so far, so good! Wish I could give you a photo run-down of everything that's in my closet, but. I don't have the skills, the time, the energy, or the patience. Sorry! Maybe next week. Or next month. Or next lifetime. Seriously, though, I am trying to work on that for the Spring Capsule (which will start March 1). But. I *have* been a little better about taking pictures of my outfits this week! The key is having several pieces t...

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. As promised, here is the most awesome list ever created in all the world: The Taylor Swift Gilmore Girls Soundtrack! This list has been so hard to make! It's like Taylor wrote every song while watching GG. Every single song fits some sort of moment in Gilmore land. I tried to narrow it down to the highlights, but even then. one song could fit a thousand situations! This is definitely not an exhaustive list. not even close. But it's a good start! Makes you head spin 'round but.

http://katiejanesays.blogspot.com/2015/07/macey-29-weeks.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Am I allowed to say that I am "over" being pregnant? I mean, on the one hand, please. Hear me when I say that I completely. Appreciate being pregnant and am so grateful to be able to experience it again. Trust me on that one! But, on the other hand. the actual being pregnant. Part is really hard! With that being said, the end is in sight. We have 11-ish weeks to go before Macey arrives and. frankly, I am not prepared! We'll see how much we can get done here in the coming weeks!

Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Since writing my last post, we have MOVED! Goodness, I did not think I could move another time while Blake was in grad school! But we did it! And we are excited! We really love the new house we're in. It's a bit bigger than the previous house, and the layout is so much more functional. Hopefully we'll be settled in soon! My favorite room in the new house is, of course, the girls' room. (I kept saying that phrase this weekend - "the girls". LOVE! Be stuck with each other! The second...

Wednesday, August 19, 2015. So all was well and we were sent home. It did make me a little nervous, though, and I just prayed for growth during the week! So now I am 36 weeks. and 30 years old! I never thought I'd be super-preggo on the day of my big 3-0, but I'm happy to have this memory of carrying my baby girl into a new decade! I always imagined I'd be done having kiddos by the age of 30 and, well, I guess a few weeks' difference isn't that big of a deal! Didn't miss my goal by too much! My iron was ...

Wednesday, June 25, 2014. So it's been a few months since I updated you on the life of Maleah Ball. Let me just tell you, she is an almost-17-month-old DRAMA QUEEN. She is sweet and kissy and snuggly one minute and then SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS angry the next. But, that's pretty much all toddlers, from what I understand! At the zoo in late May! She had a great time! Poor kid was so sick in April and May. This was when she tested positive for strep. Ick! A few words we've taught her that have bee...

Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Words of Wisdom: REST. This summer, I have experienced a "rest revelation" that has really changed my daily life! For quite a few weeks now, I have actually been going to sleep at a reasonable hour, sleeping soundly, and waking up feeling. I linked to Urban Dictionary in case you're old like me and don't always understand cool kids' slang words. As one of my friends calls it, I have the FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out! Even though I'm exhausted, I hate going to bed! Brought out the...

Thursday, June 18, 2015. I suppose with all the buzz about baby Macey, I have neglected to keep track of Maleah's development recently! Having a two-year-old is definitely an adventure - I never really know what to expect with her. She keeps us on our toes and keeps us laughing! So, I think I owe it to her to provide a little overview of what her life is like at nearly 2 1/2! I love how independent Maleah is - and she loves it, too! In the "I do it myself" phase! Maleah's behavior is directly related to ...

Friday, July 17, 2015. I measured right on track at 31 weeks and have now gained 18 pounds! Everything still hurts. And it is hotter than hot outside. So basically I'm staying inside as much as possible, despite my longing desire to be swimming in an outdoor swimming pool while drinking a cherry limeade with extra ice. I'm starting to lose my appetite again. Nothing except maybe ice cream and chocolate milk sound really appealing. Lots of wiggles going on! Is sometimes the reason I'm waking up! My super-...
