[life] merrik and me
![[life] merrik and me](http://kristiannekochphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/20090617family_008carandbeach.jpg)
We went to the beach yesterday, just Merrik and me. He’s been needing a little mom time lately so I decided to let Maliea get a good solid nap at Nana Papa’s while Merrik and I went to the beach to soak up the sun that has finally emerged from behind the clouds. We went [...]
how to burst the organization bubble
So, yes, I did get a lot done today and am so proud that I finally got all those bags of clothes to their new homes after months of accumulation. However, I did get a little “blessing from above” just now as yet still a mom and not just a housewife trying to organize the [...]
how to burst a mother’s bubble
Today I cranked on organization which is a mother’s dream (well at least this mother’s dream). I got 4 bags of clothes and toys to the Salvation Army, 6 bags of clothes back to the generous mother who shared her hand-me-downs with us, and 5 bags of clothes, toys and baby gear to Children’s Orchard [...]
just one of those days
Today was just one of those days. I forgot my phone at home so when I ended up stranded in Orange when the Metrolink was stopped from the freight train derailment and hazardous waste spill, I had to borrow a phone to call Jim. That doesn’t sound so bad but I get constant flack from [...]

merrik never ceases to amaze
Merrik continues his amazing maturation. I don’t know if it’s first born syndrome, new big brother traits, personality or what but Merrik just seems to be growing up so fast. There are certain things that have blown me away and that I never expected as a parent. I wasn’t even going to start talking about [...]
thought: are you talking about it?
Every once in awhile I allow myself snippets of time to read thought provoking articles from sources that are important to me. I used to subscribe to Orion magazine because of it’s intelligent articles, environmental slant and beautiful artwork. Now I just get their emails but I feel better about not seeing a years worth [...]
thought: okay, so I’m not supermom
So, I haven’t been that overwhelmed by being a new mom of TWO. Until today. I went to get my hair done and left Merrik with Aunt Cindy so he could swim in the “baby pool” and not be bored at the hairdresser. But I took Maliea with me and I spent so much time [...]
