After chatting with a buddy (who is an awesome author and has recently published her debut novel Cover of Snow), I’ve decided to consolidate Eccentric Chai and A Flock of Three. All of the posts for this blog will be posted on my primary blog, Eccentric Chai. If you love me, and you love this … Continue reading »
For a good chunk of my career life, I spent my paid hours singing, reciting the alphabet, and cutting out construction paper hearts–on a good day. The bad days consisted of countless time-outs, spit in my hair–no kidding–and mopping up puke. But the six years of my off and on love/hate relationship with teaching preschool … Continue reading »
I told Chris we wouldn’t buy her that Bumbo until she was ready. Whelp, she’s ready! And she loves sitting up like a big girl!

As a wannabe photographer, I’d kind of hoped throughout the pregnancy that I would end up with a little one who loved getting her picture taken. Wish granted! Not only does this doll loved to be dolled up, but she also loves to pose. She’s very camera savvy and I can’t wait to get shots of … Continue reading »
These past few weeks have been super busy—yet greatly rewarding—and I have finally managed to scrape up some minutes to write a little birth story… Margot Noelle has arrived! On Christmas Eve—her due date—I found myself playing the waiting game times a thousand. Every little twinge or twitch in my abdomen made me wonder if … Continue reading »
I’m surprised we made it this far! It’s now 39 weeks + 3 days. We are soooo close! I have a feeling Margot Moo is going to come soon, and if she decides to come on her due date then this will be the best spent Christmas I’ve ever had! It also snowed today! We’re enjoying … Continue reading »
