Outdated
So it has been a LONG while since Jen and I really updated the blog. This isn’t really an update either. This post is me admitting that it has been so long since we updated the blog that the theme I designed SIX YEARS AGO is no longer working. So rather than fix it, I…

Peanut Butter Corn Flake Treats
Jane’s Balls are a top secret recipe. I had to make something I could share with you… This is my selection.

Mama Got a Massage
Spoiled rotten. And thankful.

Love happened. Love made two into three. Love is overflowing.

In The Beginning
Is it ready yet?

It Looks Like Baby in Here
We made a list. We checked it twice. Peanut is welcome any time.
-
With These Hands
It’s a special day; with my own hands I have made something for our baby that passes down a tradition from both sides of our families.
-
Love On Loan
I think it is raining kindness.
-
Pre-Push Pampering
Some sweet ladies at work got together and decided I might spontaneously go into labor if they didn’t intervene.

Thanks Jane and Quinn!
Our sweet friends Jane and Quinn sent a package!!

Mama’s Hungry
I’ve been cooking large quantities and freezing meals for the babymoon because I am told that I won’t have time to eat if I have to cook it first…
-
Look!
We can’t say thanks enough for the help. It’s lovely to know lovely people.
-
Happy 35 Weeks!
Trust me, I am more in shock than you.
-
Blessed
Sometimes it gets hard to say ‘thank you’; sometimes it doesn’t feel like enough.
-
Paula Please!
I cannot account for the sweet people who have come into our lives; we are continually surprised by the kindness of new friends.
-
Happy 33 Weeks!
Have mercy on my heart and my tear ducts…

My Auntie Jean
My Auntie Jean taught me to stick out my tongue. She is saucy like that.
-
Happy 32 Weeks!
I know I will only get bigger, but I can’t see how this will work.

Back on the Island
Peanut has a ride home.

Awww, thanks!
Peanut is racking up on swag. Seriously.

All the Women in His Life
I am blinded by the light.

Reveling
Friends and relative strangers keep reminding me lately how incredible my life is. I have more than I need, more than I deserve, more than I can find words to describe.

We Will Keep Them
I hope I always carry light and pass on what has been graciously given to me.

Mail Call!
Yay, Peanut got mail!

Yeah She Did
Thanks Amber!

A Moment of Silence
A moment of silence does a lot for me.

We Are Geeks
I don’t know what has gotten into me; for some reason procuring gifts for the new dad has become a high priority for me lately…

Full Circle
Reflection is imperative if we ever wish to know our future.

Seeds
‘Don’t worry, they don’t grow trees.’

Much Ado about Tennant and Tate
For so many reasons, yes.

He Loves Me
It really is the little things…

They’re Here
Oh, for the love of summer…
-
Weekend Away
It wasn’t for the baths, for the cathedral, or any other historical sites really… We went to Bath for time with three gorgeous people. This is Rufus and his dad Adam. I don’t know why I don’t have a photo of Ru’s mum Milly. I’m a bad friend. Or a forgetful person. Or I was…
-
Ladies Laughing
Lucky for me, my friend Mel organised a Ladies’ Night out–and I was invited! She’s sharing her lovely friends with me for some reason; it has come at a really great time. Every lady in this group is a strong, intelligent woman, all of whom (I think) are mums too. It’s encouraging to have meaningful…

Rock Star Treatment
We are rock stars. Well, we get rock star treatment in Tennessee.

I Am the Bomb
It’s truly embarrassing. Just call before you come over.

We are having a baby. Drew and me. The Huddlestons.

Yes Please
One thing I miss about the southern United States is that we grow (and have access to) the best mashing potatoes. Thank goodness London does have a few experts in the specialised art of making ‘mash’.

Dinner for One
When I asked for more time to myself, this wasn’t exactly what I pictured…

Eyes forward, arms open, heart willing.
