And with this thought, I slide into my weekend.

I really enjoy Nicole Cliffes posts about motherhood at The Hairpin.
I mean, I enjoy many of her posts, and The Hairpin in general, but this especially struck a chord with me.

Hello blog,
I really want to post something, but since I am basically on hiatus at the moment, I’ve just selected some random pictures from my library which I find beautiful. Life has come to a halt around here; I’m doing the basics, like making baked potatoes, looking out the window, breathing, and brushing my teeth, but apart from that, I’m just… waiting. Which is cool, generally, but also a little annoying. I don’t like not getting things done. The solution is, of course, to really, really minimize the amount of things that have to get done. For the moment – I’m not giving up my to do lists that are usually forty miles long! Ha.
Anyways.
Good times.
Successful waiting requires patience. Learning patience is hard for me.

Here’s to the new year! Exciting things are about to happen. Things will change, life will ebb and flow, as usual. This is it! Let’s try to not be too scared (just a little, healthy bit).

Hello,
Christmas is near and that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. This year, I’m really into it. Looking forward to all those things: counting my blessings, gathering with my loved ones, baking cookies, giving and receiving presents, eating, eating, eating, taking walks in the dark, contemplating that baby in the manger.
I mean, seriously. Somehow I am unable to have any ironic feelings towards Christmas this year. We have candles and wreaths and stockings and many other pieces of Christmas decor, and I love it so much.
I dunno. Is this what getting older and having babies does to you? And is that a bad thing?
Either way: have a merry, merry Christmas, and a happy new year.
xoxo, F.
