Every morning when I wake up Dan tells me he loves me. He tells me I'm smart, I'm beautiful, or that I'm a great mom. Not always all of them all together, but every day he tells me something that he loves about me. And not in a a way like the cashier at Hannaford [...]

Hello long lost blog. It's been almost a month since I had five seconds to visit you. The past few weeks have been so busy I haven't had time to post anything nevermind have an insightful thought 😉 Instead I've been cleaning, painting, nailing things into the wall, raking, working, traveling and chasing after a CRAWLING BABY! [...]

Yes, I know it's Friday, not Wednesday. But Wine on a Friday doesn't have the same ring, really. So, just go with it. Today's super random blog post is brought to you by my coworker Kim who drinks wine works from home every Friday while watching her 2 boys. And that doesn't even include her husband. She has [...]

Are you ready? Because this cute and fun baby blog is about to turn into an episode of Renovation Nightmares...or whatever that HGTV show is called. Just wanted to provide fair warning. For real though, we bought a new house. But it's actually an old house. And it's got more problems than a cast member on [...]

It's been a while since I've written anything on here. And that's because I have a baby, who only takes 45 minute naps. And we bought a new house and sold this house and we're moving and everything I need is in a box, on the bottom of a stack of 10 boxes. But its [...]

My baby is 6 months old today. I don't even know what to think about that. I can't believe 6 months has gone by. I can't believe I survived 6 months. I can't believe a baby survived 6 months with me. The truth is, despite the cliche, time really flies when your not sleeping having [...]

Everyone knows that having a baby turns your life upside down. It's easy to understand how much time babies take up - and that you have to shower faster and go out less and go to bed earlier. But babies change you in other ways, too, that aren't so obvious. For example - NEVER before [...]

Well. 2013 was certainly a big year here in the Richards household. Especially if you go a couple extra months back and start with our wedding, then honeymoon, then pregnancy, then baby Mia! That's a lot to accomplish in 12 or so short months. What can I say, we're overachievers 😉 So in case you [...]

Dan is always telling me that I need to have a little faith. Faith that people will come through. Faith that things will work out. Faith that everything happens for a reason. It's sort of ironic that he's the one telling me to have faith - the Irish Catholic Sunday school drop out who scoffs [...]

Well....it's that time...the day I hoped I actually wouldn't ever see. But alas, here we are at 40 weeks pregnant. Today is baby Mia's due date. As you can clearly see, she has decided not to make her appearance yet - to everyone's dismay, mostly mine. I just keep telling myself it's because she didn't [...]
