Hi, I am Marie: wife to Andy, and a new mom of a {big} little baby
boy, Mr. D. I’m not sure how long I can claim new mom status or say that I
am “postpartum”…ten years? Probably.

| We're basically models. |
 |
| Or not. ;) |
Here's what we look like these days:
 |
| Mr. D loves hair. Probably because he doesn't have much of his own yet. |
I started this blog a few years ago
as a newly graduated, under-employed aspiring writer. The original
title was Full-Time Dreamer and Part-Time Activist, which is
quite the mouthful. But that is me in a short phrase. Always
dreaming, sometimes doing.
 |
| Yes, I was wearing a dirndl while baking banana bread. What, you don't do that, too?!? |
If you really want to start from
the beginning, I suggest you read “Confessions of a Landbum” for
a glimpse into my full-time career as a procrastinator
dreamer.
If you’re interested in my take on
motherhood (since I am such an expert…8 months in! wahoo!), here
are a few favorites:
Of Colds and Birthdays {The Disillusionment of Parenthood}
Occasionally, I
also document our travels and outings, in the, you guessed it,
“Out and About” tab.
Aaaand if you are feeling bad about
your domestic skills, head on over to the “Domestic Adventures”
tab, and experience sweet relief.
I have taken an enormous amount of
solace in my favorite parenting blogs, so I thought I would add to
the stream of consciousness that is life postpartum. If, like me, you
are addicted to reading about other moms’ lives, and constantly
wondering “how does she do it?”, you can check out a few of my
favorite bloggers (on the sidebar) to see how they do it. As for me, I’m just east of Sanity most days, so take any insight or "advice" with a grain of salt. Although, the lovely Katherine of The Hopeful Starfish gives this endorsement: "don't say you don't have good advice. You are a very insightful mama." Aw, shucks. :)
But what you can do is join the
conversation. I’d love to hear from you. So let’s break into the
chocolate, and dream awhile.
