life on repeat
right now my life is on a three hour repeat, which makes the days fly by.
can't believe he is almost two months old.
seems crazy.
seems like he should be younger.
seems like he should at the same time be older.
went out to the store in the car by myself with the little one for the first time.
it was scary and he started to cry as soon as we got in the store, so I almost gave up,
but then we went back to the car had a little more milk and tried again. success.
i have so many ideas for new painting series that I play out in my head as I spend my day
feeding, pumping, watching him sleep, but not when I change him {gotta keep my wits about me then}.
paintings of robots and fairy tales…hopefully in the middle of june I'll get a chance to see which
ones make their way onto canvas.
{I feel like baking all the time, I need some good dessert cookbooks, any favorites?}

What adventures you are having. I don’t really cook much so I don’t have any recipes but apple and rhubarb pie is always one of my favourites.

I get most of my recipes from family and friends or online: Epicurious, FoodNetwork.com and, of course, MarthaStewart.com
I also own and love How to Be a Domestic Goddess by Nigella Lawson.
And I recently spotted Apples for Jam by Tessa Kiros. There were some sweets I wanted to try baking, not to mention the design and photography is gorgeous.

LOL.. I know EXACTLY how you feel. I am a breastfeeding (every 2 hour) mom of a 2 month old. Hello fellow green girl and mom… Nice to come across your site. I am a subscriber now. Let’s trade baby and green stories.

I totally know how you feel. I’m a new mom with a 2 month old daughter. I went through the feed-pump-repeat cycle every 3 hours too. Don’t worry you’ll definitely get through it. It’s all so worth it even though pumping at 2 am sucks!!
