Dear Internet, Yes, I did tell you that the Little Letter link up would be last Friday and, yes, I did forget. But I'm here now, so all is forgiven, right? Dear Banana Bread, You were delicious. I had been staring at over-ripened bananas for days, so when Polly and I found ourselves with some free time on Tuesday morning, we found this recipe on Pinterest and got started. The bread was amazing and Polly loved dipping her spoon in the bowl of squishy bananas. Dear Feeding Littles, I only recently found your website and I think I'm in love. Of course, I missed your sale yesterday, but that probably won't ...

Dear 2019, I wasn't ready for your arrival. I'm not ready for it to be the year after Polly was born -- that's moving a little too fast for my taste. The good news is, I'm a glutton for fresh starts and everything about you feels shiny and new. Dear Pollywog, You are growing up so fast! We just started using the bumbo seat and high chair in the last few weeks and it's a nice change of pace for us all. You still prefer being snuggled or worn in the sling, but the highchair is proving to be the easiest way to cook dinner. Dear Marie Kondo, I had no idea you had a new series on Netflix, but I managed to binge ...
Little Letters | August 2018
Dear Friday, I am so happy to see you. Every week feels like an eternity, at this point, and I feel like last weekend was forever ago. I only have twelve more days to report to the office and I'm marking them off with a big X, every chance I get. Dear Anniversary, It's crazy to think that I've been married for sixteen years. SIXTEEN YEARS?! We were such babies then and while so many things have changed, so many things are exactly the same. Dear Blog Friends, Did you even notice that I pressed publish five times this week? It's been a really long time since I managed to share a post with you every single day. It might not happen again for awhile, so I really hope you enjoyed it. Dear Ella, You were such a champ this week. I know that transitioning to a new school and learning ...

Dear Beach Vacation, We've been home for almost three whole weeks and I'm still missing you like crazy. Thankfully we're spending the weekend in the sand again right now, but it just isn't the same without our camper. Dear 2019 Vacations, I know it's only July, but I am so glad to have you booked and on the calendar already. A week on the lake for Spring Break, two weeks at the beach for Summer Vacation -- let's see what else we can plan before the year rolls over. Dear Maternity Leave, Why are you still eight weeks away? Dear Baby, I am so thankful for every move, hiccup, and twitch. I know that all ...

Dear June, We're only eight days in and you are already bursting at the seams. You are, by far, my favorite month of the year and I'm glad that we can slooooow down after this weekend. Dear Camping Adventure, I am so thankful that you are only two days away! I'm thankful that I get to enjoy all fifteen days of you, that our camper is adorable and fully packed, that the girls are beside themselves about heading south and that we have a list of yummy restaurants to visit very soon. Dear Bathing Suits, Why are you so difficult? Admittedly, I didn't anticipate being pregnant this summer, and I thought I'd ...

Dear 13th Week, I am so glad you are here. We are exactly four days away from the second trimester and, although it's hard to believe we're a third of the way through this gig, I am hoping you bring all the good things. Dear Starbucks Café Mocha, You have no idea how much I missed and how delicious you tasted (twice!). I still can't drink coffee first thing in the morning -- I have to throw up first -- but enjoying a venti coffee on my way to work has been such a guilty pleasure. Dear 30* Morning, What in the world?! We have been enjoying lovely spring weather and I was not prepared to dig out sweaters ...

It's time for the Little Letters Link Up and, this week, I thought I'd share something different. I'm not sure that these pregnancy updates will completely replace my usual letters, but since our life is currently filled with all things baby, I thought it was definitely appropriate for this month. January 20, 2018: the day we told the girls about baby Dear Baby, You pretty much rocked our world. You were the very last thing we expected, but we are so very excited to welcome you to our family this fall. Here are a few letters I've been writing to you this month: 6 Weeks 2 Days | January 17, 2018 It's been a ...

Who is ready for another year of Little Letters? None of these are even remotely related and they certainly don't deserve a post of their own, but sometimes it's good to write down all of those random thoughts that flit through your head from time to time. Dear January -- We have gotten off to a great start. Thank you for slow mornings, lazy weekends, and Christmas lights that are lingering. Dear Christmas Tree -- I had big plans to take you down tomorrow, but I'm having second thoughts. Two months just wasn't enough. Dear Record Player -- I think I love you even more than my husband. There isn't a ...
