the sober one + nugget's 1st wedding weekend.

-
not that i spend my time getting "trashed" every weekend, but this past weekend a friend of mine got married and naturally, due to my current state of no drinking i was the dd. the whole mf crew and mf-husbands (note: i am not going to share what mf stands for since it's not technically pc, but note that it does not stand for the mother of all cusswords...) traveled to new philly, ohio to celebrate jenn+dave! we had a great time and learned how much that Sheetz was a winner.

Sheetz! aka everyone's favorite hang out. a true life saver.



since it was nugget's first road trip i wanted to be prepared for the 4 hour ride + hotel eatings. apparently i was a little nervous i would starve, but we ended up being all ok.
thanks for saving the majority of naus until after the wedding weekend. 
don't worry nugget, moma's always prepared.

not to toot my own horn, but i will. 
TOOT!
i stayed up/out like the best of them. for every beer or wine that was sipped i had a water and it actually felt refreshing to be so hydrated. when all of my best girlfriends decided to jump into the hotel pool in bras and undies i went along with them. it was actually so much fun and without a lick of alcohol.


i had to crop most of the inappropriate-ness out, but you get the idear.


the aftermath.


the groom re-thinking marrying into the mf.

coming soon: picture of whole mf.
here is the mf.
auntie frank is the bride. you have so many adoring aunties already! some of them are talking to you and im not sure what they have whispered yet. 
i have an inkling it is in regard to being your favorite auntie.
...and the competition begins.

the lovely brideski, auntie frank!
couldn't be happier for you, jenns marta frankovich.

the story of stella.

it's been really hard to sit down and write this. not just because i keep falling asleep or stella needs to nurse... sure that is a part of it, but, there is a vulnerable part to writing this birth story that i have been having a hard time wrapping my head around. i'm an open book and this post will be a piece of that open book, but know that i still am sifting through some anger that things didn't go as "planned" even though for 10 months i mentally prepared for all possible outcomes and knowing the plan may not happen.  ...and per usual i didn't hold back on details. if you can't handle it, sorry. this is birth. INTRO: it was most important for me to bring our child into the world in the most organic way possible. after lots of research, resources and conversations we decided the best route to do this would be a home birth. we chose our midwife, found an amazing doula , and i received back up care the entire pregnancy from 2 obgyn's that i c

waiting for our arrival

over and over again, this theme rolls onward  in my life right now. i feel aligned, mostly positive, gracious and overall pretty happy.  there's been multiple times i wanted to sit and write this piece, but then there's this part of me that says "but what if things didn't work out as you said?" "what if you go broke?" "people will think you are tooting your own horn..."  but, honestly why do i care? this is me and if people get something from it, great. if not, also, great. same reason for me not going to use capital letters here... because i don't feel like it. like it or don't. negative self talk is so self deprecating. we wouldn't let someone talk to us like that, but we let ourselves talk us out of EVERYTHING! this is a little tale and peek into our life.  over a year ago john left his comfortable job with good benefits (no, really the best benefits there are, kind of benefits). he could do this job with his eyes closed,

what i have learned my baby's first month

-
i have a guest post coming about lessons learned in a baby's first year and i started tracking what i was learning because every day seemed like a new lesson. i'm certain this will grow. i have learned: 1. how much more laundry a little makes (not including cloth diapers).  our water bill coming must be astronomical. 2. it's not easy to be the same wife you once were while tending to a little.  our love may be stronger, but it takes more effort. 3. projectile vomiting is common among ferocious eating newborns. 4. large breasts are completely overrated. 5. how much you will melt looking at your husband with his daughter. 6. i'm not sure i can fathom someone else taking care of my child even if it's family. 7. that cheering over and congratulating large burps is a common occurrence. 8. that my driving has tremendously improved (and everyone else has become worse). 9. how fast the days go by because  a) we nap b) there is always something (everything) that ne
