Glitches and updates

I’m back! Thank you for your patience while I was in Internet Siberia.

As some may have noticed, the blog was unavailable for a while due to behind-the-scenes-technical issues that I think I fixed. I think. It was like jumping into a deep abyss of Internet that’s swimming with menacing jargon that could eat me alive.

For now, I would like to show you this:

Super retro, right? It is. Circa 1950-something. It’s the one and only stove my Grandma ever used while living in this house, and it’s what I cook on these days. For the most part it’s been swell and a testament to how well things were made in “the good old days,” but it seems to only have the temperatures of scalding, burn-your-food hot or barley warm.

And this little girl not only turned 4, but also started school, as in she goes there every day with her practically-as-big-as-her-body backpack.

She loves school, thank god, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that her school time coincides with Crosby’s nap time cause then I get some me time. Addy’s found two good buddies with cool moms, which means I have two new buddies, too. The community we moved to is like Pleasantville, but with an urban vibe.

While our home is still boxes and chaos and a disorganized mess, I feel we have officially adjusted to our new ‘hood and digs. But, in the words of Carrie Underwood, this is our “Temporary Home,” and we’re itching to settle in somewhere and claim a space as ours. We just don’t know where we want that space to be, hence the holding pattern we’re in now. We’re hoping that by early summer we’ll be preparing for a second, more permanent move.
