When we found we were having Charlie we talked a big game of how we were not going to be those people with a ton of baby items. We tried to keep our registry minimal.
As I type this there are two large baby things in our living room. This is temporary. Charlie won't need a swing and bouncy seat forever. And I still hold firm that I won't let the living room collect all the toys.
But our most used, life can not go on without this one item baby item is: the Boppy.
We are still in the midst of winter here in Memphis complete with four "snow" days this week. Although we got very little snow. It was mostly just ice which is not fun.
Last Saturday was actually pleasant and I decided to try out my new Solly baby wrap. Charlie and I went out to check on the garden and green house.
Charlie's first gardening experience!
There's not much happening out there. A few herbs and strawberries are still surviving - although I haven't been back there since our snow week, so who knows now.
In other news I purchased a couple of blueberry plants and a couple more blackberry bushes from Stark Brothers. This is my first time ordering with them and I'm excited to finally get some blueberry bushes! I've been wanting some for a few years now.
I also purchased some garlic to plant. This past summer I received some fresh garlic in my CSA and it was life changing. I'm not sure how it will work in my garden - I don't have very high hopes - but I'm pretty excited at the possibility of getting more of that amazingly fresh garlic again. Mmmm...
I keep hoping that one of these days when Charlie is down for a long nap I can work on figuring out when I need to start my seeds and come up with a more detailed plan for the garden. But so far it hasn't happened. Maybe one day this week...
We are in a serious baby haze over here. Oddly enough I still have time to catch up on social media and blogs during breast feeds and holding a squishy faced baby. Here's some things that caught my attention.
I'm obsessed with these bags. Seriously. I need one.
I love Frances McDormand. I especially love this video of her on aging. Her hair is fabulous. For a few years now I've had some grey hairs and I refuse to pull or color them. I earned those grey hairs. Every time I see them I remember all the shit I went through to get them.
