Yup. I’m that Mom. This girl is going to be smothered in so much pink crap that she’ll be mortal enemies with it by the time she’s nine. Or maybe she’ll become as obsessed as I am… Having only had a boy before having this lovely girl, I had already succumbed to the thought that
These two are partners in crime. They are inseparable when it comes to one activity….fishing. On our way to a friend’s house (a three hour drive), we had to pull over and go fishing for an hour. Sadly we caught nothing and the fish just laughed at us as we cast lure after lure directly on top

I’m NAK. Not familiar with this simple abbreviation? You must not be 1. a new mother, 2. an internet geek, or 3. obsessed with your kids. NAK stands for Nursing At Keyboard and it’s how my life is working these days. I sit, nursing pillow strapped to my body like an overly stiff, micro fiber tutu, babe
