The adventures of raising Esme – who trusted me with this endeavor? Do I swear like a sailor? Maybe a little of all the above at 4 am. February 27, 2015 in Uncategorized. At 4am this morning, I noticed the oven door open and went to investigate. I swore. I chuckled. I wanted to cry. Raw and dried egg all over the oven. The eggs I just bought. I started to clean. Esme likes cooking. How many times has she seen me cook eggs? So, does anyone have a baby gate I can use for the near future? Magic 8 Ball says.

Motherhood and PPMS | Life with Esme
https://lifewithesme.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/motherhood-and-ppms
The adventures of raising Esme – who trusted me with this endeavor? February 23, 2015 in Uncategorized. The extreme exhaustion by 11:30am is hard for this Type-A personality to adjust to and my body eventually just turns out the lights and forces me to sleep if I fight it too long. It’s ok for now because Esme and I can nap together. I can’t just power through. I need to ask for help. When even climbing a three step stool with a spinning head is difficult or bending over to pick up Esme out...Not being a...

https://lifewithesme.wordpress.com/2014/09/18/on-the-road-again
The adventures of raising Esme – who trusted me with this endeavor? On the Road Again. September 18, 2014 in Uncategorized. Willie Nelson sang it best. Esme is a kindred spirit of the redneck hippie who loves to listen to her theme song multiple times as we head down the highway. This time, on our way back to Portland, Oregon. After a short stop, it was on to Rawlins, WY for a good nights sleep before another long haul. It was a LONG trip… but we had fun in Portland. Esme got a coonskin cap. There is com...

Crocheting Geekdom | Life with Esme
https://lifewithesme.wordpress.com/crocheting-geekdom
The adventures of raising Esme – who trusted me with this endeavor? At my daughter’s birthday party, my sister-in-law innocently pointed out a secret held deeply in my subconscious. I was completely unaware of it until she enthusiastically said, Nikki! I never knew you were a Trekkie! 8221; I guess I had never really looked around my apartment before: Captain Kirk and Spock coasters, the entire crew of the Enterprise PEZ dispensers, the fun Johnny Cash meets Captain Kirk Uptown Art Fair purchase Me?

The adventures of raising Esme – who trusted me with this endeavor? It gets worse before it gets better. September 25, 2014 in Uncategorized. And this is me doing better. I no longer have the cane. I can walk backwards and can almost walk a straight line. If I am standing, I can close my eyes without falling over. I rode my bike and have the scraps and bruises to prove it. Something I could not even attempted a month ago. Magic 8 Ball says. What we have been up to lately. Do I swear like a sailor? Blog a...

The adventures of raising Esme – who trusted me with this endeavor? The summer so far in pictures. July 21, 2014 in Uncategorized. Our friend the brass gorilla was sorely missed in Portland, OR. Believe it or not, the security guard thought we were taking posed photographs and were reprimanded for this picture. Tea cups and swings at Como Zoo. Father’s Day at the Minnesota Zoo. The Okee Dokee Brothers. Swim lessons at Jim Lupient Water Park in NE Mpls. Water fun at Logan Park. Magic 8 Ball says. You are ...

Off Kilter | Life with Esme
https://lifewithesme.wordpress.com/2014/09/18/off-kilter
The adventures of raising Esme – who trusted me with this endeavor? September 18, 2014 in Uncategorized. Throughout this adventure I’ve learned the brain is a crazy thing and we as a species are totally dependent on our ears. Did you know your balance comes from your ears? I have crappy ears. I had tons of ear infections as a child and tubes more times than I can count. Allergies, you may sneeze, but I get this horrible itch deep in my ear canal and sometimes my ear drum blows out the wrong way. And gues...
