http://www.lindseyalyce.com Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:01:24 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This weekend was a birthday weekend.  Last year during  Adam's birthday, I was in my first trimester of pregnancy.  I slept a minimum of eleven hours a night and subsisted on little more than oranges and toast.  This year, I baked Adam's cake during naptime and we toted Reed along ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/898 Shortly after Reed was born, we filled our freezer with half a hog.  It was a beautiful sight, all the crisp paper parcels stacked in the deep freeze  ready to feed us through the winter.  The shoulder roasts vanished first.  Then, during a split pea soup craze, the hocks.  We ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/894 It's now all wrinkled happy from being worn well, but #36 is completed. It has been busy.  I would write more, but I will take this small sliver of time after the boy is asleep and before I am to work on 2 and 10. March is one of my most favorite ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/892 My family and I are just getting back into the swing of things after a big wonderful wedding weekend (such big adventures can be tiring for tiny boys!).  Upon returning home we ate some lazy meals, watched a movie or two, went hunting for our camera (we left it at ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/878 February 19, 2007 Just one dollar (two for both of us) bought an afternoon of summertime, canaries and orange trees. (thanks for the suggestion, Bri) http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/853 Today, Reed took an honest to goodness nap.  A real nap.  A nap longer than half an hour.  A nap at home.  Not in the car.  Not on a walk.  A nap outside of my arms.  Off the rocking chair.  Just him sleeping.  On his own.  Two (two!) hours. I made ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/869 February 12, 2007 It's official. I am engaged to Adam Lloyd Whitlock: owner of my favourite smile. I am super excited. A lot of people are a bit confused about why it's so fast. I don't have any superb, dynamic reason to give them them, I just know that I'm ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/846 Today is snowy.  Not December snowy: the sort of snow that makes you want to strap on a snowsuit and jump and run and roll in it.  It is February snowy: the sort of snow that you want to watch from the warm side of the window with some cinnamon ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/865 Tonight I made oeufs en meurette while drinking wine.  Its amazing how delicious eggs on toast can be when you add wine.  The experience reminded me why I put number 63 on the list: wine has a way of bringing out joy in food and friends and life.  And nothing ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/863 Reed doesn't take to napping easily.  He would rather look around and smile and play until he is severely overtired and grumpy.  Getting him to sleep can be amusing, stressful, funny, frustrating, meditative, sweet, restful, and any combination thereof. So, I have taken to drinking a calming herbal tea I learned ... http://www.lindseyalyce.com/archives/861
