Awkward yoga poses

I managed one whole pose in mommy-baby yoga the other day. My son napped in my chest as I pressed my shoulders and feet into the ground, creating the perfect place for my 2yr old to make a cave under my knees with blankets. I had to chuckle to myself, this is not my picture of yoga, but it is a perfect picture of my life.

Then little miss said it, "I have to potty, mama." Awesome. Is it wrong I strongly considered telling her to just go in her diaper? With a sigh (and a grunt) I stood up. Of course little guy woke up and little miss didn't really have to go.

Ugh. Let's try again next week.

Walk in the snow

There are few things more delightful, yet utterly exhausting, as walking through the snow with a toddler. Ever icicle, every snow drift, every slush puddle must be examined. The wonder of a brand new world is beginning and all I want to do is get home with my groceries before the flurries start up again.

But that's life with kids right? Sweet delight and new discoveries; pulling out hair and wanting to slam your face in your palms. It's a "D: all of the above" type of life.

I hope for this blog to be a celebration of beautiful madness that is being a mom. You're welcome along for the journey. Can't say it will be a quick one, but it should be interesting.
