35 weeks pregnant and….
116 pounds.
Baby is still head -down.  She’s doing all swell in there and according to the last ultrasound (today) she’s growing nicely although for the life of me, I can’t remember how big she was.  Is.  Whatever.  It was normal range, so I forgot and my dear husband pretends he never heard.
She [...]

(and, then a sunset for Neil because apparently my posts aren’t weepy enough to make him send me fanmail.)

I’ve been praying a lot - fervent, tear soaked pleas - asking for guidance and direction and peace.
And, while I’m waiting to find out where this new path will go - or even while I’m waiting to even find the path, because right now I feel like I’m walking through a bunch of overgrown weeds, [...]

It’s been ten days since my husband lost his job.
Ten days isn’t that long - but, it kind of is.  It really is when you live in a one-income household that was pinching pennies to begin with.  It really is when you had no backups.  It really is when there isn’t a “nest egg” of [...]

We love rubber ducks. But, what do you do when you just can’t get that extra water out? If you let it sit, it will mold, creating a nasty little problem.

I’m 34 weeks pregnant as of today and besides a bit of heartburn nudging around, nothing much has changed with this pregnancy.

As most of you guys know, about a week ago Steven lost his job. Tons of resumes and emails have been sent out, but the waiting game continues. In the meantime, we’ve decided to re-open his WebDesign business.
We’re needing to get the word out - FAST, though. So, would you mind checking [...]

Saturday was my “baking morning” - I was hit by a surge of energy and used it to bake and do a few chores. The surge only lasted for a few hours before I was completely exhausted again, but at least I have two loaves of fruit-bread and some granola bars to show for [...]

Hiya!
My name is Ashley, but some people know me as: Bosssanders.
And, about me:
I have an addiction to yummy desserts and am 33 weeks pregnant.  I’m going to blame the desserts thing on the pregnancy and for those of you who have known me for longer than 33 weeks - shut up.
I also have an almost-two [...]

Lorelei’s Mimi and Pa (my parents) bought L this AWESOME toddler bed as part of her birthday present.  See the cuteness?  I was quite surprised at exactly HOW short and small it would be.  Oh, and that face?  Yes.  I’m not quite sure what that’s about.  Could be the pickle she’s eating.
So, new pretty and [...]
