8 months: Love. Sleep. Eat. Teeth?
She loves Kisses - she understands "Give me a kiss?" in english and swahili and opens her mouth wide and leans in for a wet smooch. She's also starting offering up kisses to us too. Awwww. Crawling - She's crawling buuuut it's not her preferred mode of transportation. She'll…
The Stroller Parade
We have a stroller situation in our 1200 square feet condo. We have 3. That is 2 too many. I'm in cleaning mode and doing my best to eliminate the clutter. I'm annoyed that we have 3 strollers sitting in our living room.
Why do we have 3 strollers? Stroller #1: This is a baby shower gift fro…
Shoe Style Saturday: First Timer
First time participating in a meme! I like this one because I like shoes and I want to look at other people's shoes.
These shoes are strictly for sitting and they don't get out much. Can you guess why I bought them? Go ahead take a guess.
They're purple. As you probably already know I …
Adventures in Foodland
....And we're back to half disgust when I put food in the Queen's mouth. We had 1 really good week. It may be because I was feeding her expensive baby food in a pouch Ella's Kitchen. They are very tasty fruit and vegetable mixes. She ate those nearly $2 a pouch meals in one sitting. She…
Brain Dump
Last week was a really busy week for me and my sidekick:
I went to a job interview and V was left in the care of her baby whisperer Uncle. The wine consultant job turned out to not be the dream job I had pictured. V did well with her first time being without Mom and Dad.
We went to the babywearing …
Mama's Going to Work It Out
I love it when me and the Universe are on the same page. I've been seeking yoga/pilates/fitness classes so that I can get my mind right and spend some time out of the house ( momcation location other then Tarjay ). Pre-baby I was anti-class. Driving? No. Groups? No. Exercise? No. I was looking fo…
Fashion Me
I normally describe my style as "hooka chic". I like to wear a mix of tacky and classy at the same time. While circling the mall and putting the Queen to sleep, I found this fabulous and cheap ($10) bag at Charlotte Russe. It has a long shoulder strap so it can be worn cross body. Now the qu…
Do You Have Career Passion?
I've been thinking a lot about where I'm headed career-wise. Reading Super Rich and watching Oprah's Master Class featuring Ms. O herself have really motivated me to get serious about work relationship. I am not in a hurry to return to work unless I'm working with passion. I firmly …
Civil Ceremony Ugandan Style
We were at the of the Registrar DAILY for an entire week before she agreed to marry us. She wanted something a little extra to perform the ceremony. As you can see in the picture I was less than thrilled about it. It was a long and stressful process and I just wanted to have it done stateside. Ugan…
Do You Know What Today Is? It's Our Anniversary
About a month after the Valentine's Day proposal, we were married in a traditional Ugandan ceremony planned entirely by His family. My dress was made the day before the ceremony. Neither one of us knew what to expect. We had "coaches" that whispered to us what to say and do. Professio…
Little Miss' First Cold
I thought I was getting very little sleep until 4 nights ago when I heard her first real cough. I'm use to hearing her test her vocals out by coughing for sport. The real cough surprised me. I woke Him up to tell him she's coughing for real! He was half asleep and turned over to indulge in …
