- the trail outside my house has apparently gotten steeper OR my kid weighs a hundred pounds more than last fall because pushing the jogging stroller up to the park just got a lot harder.

- my husband and i make a damn fine team. i'm pretty sure we're the couple to beat. we rock.
- when you give your toddler a cookie for the car ride home, make sure the temperature in the car is less than 80* and the cookie is not covered in milk chocolate.
- always keep crayons and paper on hand. pen does not come out of yellow leggings without a fight.
- i like that curious little monkey and watching little eyes light up when she sees him.
- i miss having an 'established' yard.
- i miss trees. and honeysuckle and milkweed and all the other summer plants i tended year after year.
- i have officially ruined the one pair of jeans that i loved and i just can't make anything else work like those.
- i love to knit, but i have a need to crochet.
- green beans cannot be replanted once little hands pluck the seedlings.
- there is never enough time in my days for all there is i want to do.
