“This Will Pass” and Other Advice for New Moms

by Amy on August 31, 2010

Have you ever taken a moment to think about all of the new skills you’ve learned since becoming a mother? Every once in awhile I realize how much knowledge I’ve acquired over the last eighteen or so months since I became pregnant with Nate. Back then, before I saw the little blue plus sign on [...]

It’s Hard to be Nine Months Old

It's Hard to be Nine Months Old August 27, 2010 Parenting

I tweeted out the other day that Nate is nine months old. It’s hard to believe that he’s been out in the world almost as long as he was growing inside of me. I can only imagine how I’ll feel when he’s nine years old, and nineteen…I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that [...]

Three Things I Learned about Photography at BlogHer ’10

Three Things I Learned about Photography at BlogHer '10 August 19, 2010 Self Matters

When I had Nathan I vowed to take pictures of him every single day. I might miss the odd day due to an illness, or say, when I had my gallbladder removed, but for the most part I have been successful. I have taken at least one photograph of Nate most days since he’s been [...]

S’mores Everywhere

S'mores Everywhere August 10, 2010 In the Kitchen

Is it just me, or are s’mores everywhere right now? They seem to be the hottest dessert item there is these days. Before I go ahead and assume that everyone knows what s’mores are, I’ll describe my ideal version of a s’more. Take two fat, fresh graham crackers. Make them toasty warm over a campfire [...]

All Through the Night

All Through the Night August 9, 2010 Parenting

On Saturday morning I spoke to Graham on the telephone from our room in New York. He sounded so upbeat and positive, I was really proud of him for being such a good dad. I could hear Nathan babbling in the background, and could picture him making his way around the kitchen and dining room [...]
