still haven't made it to the gym or managed to slide on my running shoes (it's been an entire week and a half since my last workout) but i did make a healthy quinoa salad to keep in the fridge for the week, and roasted some detoxifying cauliflower. AND i juiced! now i just need to start on all of my other "resolutions" for the year.<br />
we've reached a point that i think two kids might be enough for us so i'm starting to think about MY life and who I want to be beyond my kids and my husband. like knitting! i've always wanted to learn and have made measly efforts in the past to get started but i've never actually made anything. which leads me to another resolution: following through. doing things that i say i'm going to do. making more time for friends and DOING more for them. and FAMILY. i need to DO more for them too, not just hang around all the time. i want to LISTEN better and talk better too. talk about things with real substance….like those long talks you used to have in college that made you feel like you were really making or going to make a difference. i need more of those. and i just need to be productive. quit cleaning and "straightening up" and just PLAY with my kiddos. and read books!!! when did i quit reading? i can barely get through a page a night in my latest novel…need to work on that.<br />
and although there were some really REALLY great things that happened in 2013, like, hello! amadeus was born!!! i can't say that i'm not happy to see it go and start with a new one. and since amadeus' birth was by far the highlight of my year, that's the picture we're saying goodbye with.<br />

<br />
currently we're at twenty-two weeks with number two. this pregnancy hasn't been entirely different from the first. i feel similar, i haven't gotten HUGE yet and that amazing feeling you get each time you feel the babe move still hasn't faded. but i find myself not focusing on the pregnancy like i did with M. obviously i'm a little busier than i was the first time around but i think i'm going to start dipping back into my pregnancy books again and put the parenting books on the shelf for a while.<br />
<br />
but here are some pictures of what we've been up to lately. m is cracking us UP! all day every day. walking around the house, babe in hand, saying "thAnks", giving her little plastic baby baths every night, feeding her at supper time.... it's just too much. but it's a lot of fun.<br />

when i was editing these pictures (and trust me, i planned on posting a lot more) i noticed a bit of a trend in M's life these days. she likes to eat. she loves to paint. and, one that i had taken considerable note of, she likes glasses, which is why we just ordered <a href="http://www.bonlook.com/product/rockstar-sunbeam-sun">these</a>.<br />

<br />
it had me smiling the entire time. yearning to be in the same room as ms. radziwill and listening to her answer sofia coppola's questions, mostly because i'd get to hear anything that might have been edited for the video. those little snippets of pictures and videos from ms. radziwill's younger days really got my mind going, such a different time back then.<br />
<br />
it also had me thinking about those new york sirens in the background and how i wouldn't mind it so much if that was a little part of our background noise (especially since it seems to be such a foreign sound for mila, proof <a href="http://vine.co/v/bnhKvt3tKrK">here</a>). or for an itty bitty galley kitchen similar to <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/kitchen/roomset/20132_kiro02h/">this</a> that we saw at ikea last weekend.<br />
<br />
i love living close to my family and friends but ever since i was a wee one, living in new york has always been one of my dreams. not so sure it's going to be a dream come true for me but maybe. one day.<br />
<br />
and <span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">hooray!</span> we still have a whole sunday before monday and all its nastiness comes our way. ;)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">and oh yeah, all of those books just on her end table reminding me to quit blogging, interneting, shopping, etc. and start reading some more.

so yeah, i think that's what this rainy day is going to include. going to ruin my morning run with some homemade marshmallows thrown into some hot chocolate and possibly a trip to the downtown library. a little bird told me that our *BIG* library is in jeopardy of being closed down. that's such a sad thought to me. i don't know who designed the building but it really is quite pretty. and huge by corpus library standards. i used to have my mom drop me off there and just read read read. or write write write. guess i need to start doing that again. or maybe just stand on the sidewalk picketing to the guys upstairs and preaching on how badly we need to keep those books in there!!!<br />

on another entirely "i'm sitting at my big computer screen while the baby and puppy take naps so i have lots of quiet uninterrupted time to myself" note, i need some thoughts on double strollers. i know a lot of moms here in corpus that have kids the same-ish ages apart as what our two will be that only invest in a double jogger or a double umbrella. i really love our umbrella stroller because of convenience but when traveling, even though it's quick to break down and fits into the tiniest of rent cars, i would really prefer something a little more substantial. something like the bugaboo. along those same lines, i also realize that the stroller will spend a lot of time in our car so it needs to break down enough to leave room for our things in the back. as for the jogger, i'm afraid that i may have to just get one of those too. i run too much not to have but then i do also wonder how much i'm going to be running with BOTH of the kiddos. i mean, mila will start school in june so most of the time, she won't even be home while i'm running. clearly this is a big decision for me. last thing, if i do go the double stroller route, should i keep my stokke? i really love that stroller and would hate for it to just sit in our garage. augh! the stress of life with four!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8720489204953875986.post-17320819716017797242013-02-05T12:51:00.000-06:002013-02-05T12:51:41.979-06:00i should be.reading a book on all the things i'm not supposed to be eating or doing while pregnant. or maybe even finishing my re-read of 'the leftovers' for the book club that i myself started. but instead i'm spending my time eating lots of things that i bought for mila from the grocery store the other day ((flax waffles times three, vegan "chicken" nuggets times more than i want to mention, and a mango)) and wishing that <a href="http://nymag.com/homedesign/articles/2013/01/newsletter/spaceoftheweek0123/index2.html">this</a> were my address. but my belly is full and now i think i'll be able to muster up a little nap before the little one wakes. some photos from the last few days of ours.<br />

i faired pretty well. although i may have let the candy get past the desired 248〫mark. according to me, and the rest of my family who can't seem to get enough of these sweet treats, this is definitely a <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/950410/caramel-candies-101">recipe</a> for the keeps.<br />

i'm starting to learn a little more about car travel with a little in tow. and how to travel with an almost toddler instead of a nursing baby that at one time wanted to be nowhere but in my arms ( so not the case anymore ).<br />
<br />
we're making a quick stop in austin before we head to college station on saturday. really hoping to squeeze in at least a couple of minutes <a href="http://www.austinkids.org/">here</a> ( and of course <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp">here</a>, but that's for purely selfish reasons ).<br />
<br />
and OH YEAH! have y'all seen <a href="http://www.rachelthurston.com/blog/?p=8643">these family pictures</a>? if i could have our family photographed in any way possible, this would be it! love their house too :) like a fourth member of the fam i tell you.<br />

lately m and i can NOT get enough of some homemade apple chips. taken from <a href="http://www.wholeliving.com/185440/apple-chips">this</a> recipe, they're quite possibly the best new afternoon snack we can get our hands on ( since the last time we made <a href="http://schlemazel.blogspot.com/2012/03/oh-sunday.html">these</a> ).<br />

you've gotta love the french. you really do. especially when it comes to food.<br />
<br />
this was a seriously laborious recipe, but one that proved worth the work. it was in the new issue of martha stewart living. love her recipes, so detailed in direction. if she's not explaining the exact details of how the food should look while cooking it, she always gives a good time estimate for how long each step should take. love her.<br />
<br />
so here it is. my adventures with this famous french dish. we served it over egg noodles but i can just imagine how good it could have been with a hard crusted chunk of sourdough from <a href="http://bluebaker.com/">here</a>.<br />

<br />
it all started on monday when mila missed her feeding just before nap time. i really didn't see this coming. we got to a point that i literally had to pry her away from my shirt while talking to both friends and strangers, yeah, i was ready. then tuesday came and she barely nursed twice in twenty-four hours. and now it looks as though i'm on a quick road to being an "i breastFED mila" instead of an "i breastFEED mila" kinda mom.<br />

there have been moments where i think i'm not ready. but then i just think again. we're ready. for so many reasons, we're ready. not gonna lie, i'm definitely going to have to ring in this new chapter of our life with an extra cocktail tomorrow ( and maybe the day after that ).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8720489204953875986.post-37874859621283633032012-09-10T17:20:00.001-05:002012-09-10T17:21:02.697-05:00our weekend.<div style="text-align: center;">

soooooo, apparently i don't have the catlike reflexes i thought i did. an ambitious attempt at trying some new exercises on a park bench proved fatal for my wrist. i sort of feel like the skate boarding teen that my husband once was.<br />
<br />
right now i'm using some topical treatments that i picked up from the asian market ( because i know i'm not alone when i say that i really feel like the chinese know what they're doing when it comes to alternative medicine ). all this until i get an x-ray tomorrow. because i do think there's something more behind this pain i'm feeling. any "get better soon" remedy advice you have would be very much appreciated. ;)<br />
