Hey, is this thing on?
Normally people abandon their blogs when life gets chaotic, busy, and overwhelming.
I’m pleased to say things have been quiet around here lately for exactly the opposite reason. After a rather rough first 8 months, we’ve hit a sweet spot.
10 months is officially my favorite age. It may {definitely} have something to do with my consistent greater-than-2-hour-stretches of sleep. Much greater than 2 hours. My little one is happy, alert, curious, and complete delight to be around. I’ve just been soaking up as much of that as possible. Things with babies change faster than Lady GaGa’s outfits.

So instead of running to my computer every spare minute, or slaving away in the kitchen while simultaneously trying to entertain the baby underfoot, I’ve been skipping a lot of that stuff. So that’s why during this Thanksgiving week, also known as food blogger heaven, I’m not whipping up creative cranberry sauces, elaborate pies, or healthy side dishes for that deep-fried turkey you know you want to try.

I’m so happy to hear that you’ve hit a sweet spot! I’ve heard a lot of moms say the time around 1 year old gets so much better. I’m sure it will just get sweeter and sweeter for you as time goes by.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for including my roundup in your roundup of roundups! ha. You can include me for not making an elaborate Thanksgiving this week (we had our Thanksgiving in October here in Canada).
I definitely found that the closer we got to one year, the better it got! Glad you’re sleeping more… that was huge for me. I was such a grump without sleep!
I’m excited to check out many of these links.
Awesome round up round up.

OH my goodness, I will never discredit the value of sleep again- I’m a whole new person now!
10 months is a great age, allright. But you won’t believe what’s in store next! teething yet? ah, that’s payback for all the extra sleep.
have a great thanksgiving!
