Nesting instincts
January 28, 2010 by Shannon | 3 Comments
You know how everybody always says every pregnancy is different? I think in many cases that’s true, but there’s one thing that my first and second pregnancies share: the nesting instinct. I nested the crap out of the place when I was pregnant with Kellan.

Ever stop to think about what makes you happy? Really, truly happy?

So…we told Kellan.
I think we were both a little nervous to bring it up, and unsure of how to start the conversation. But last night, after dinner and a dessert of fresh-baked banana bread (yay me!), we did it.
Up on my soapbox: DON’T CUT IDAHO PUBLIC TELEVISION
January 22, 2010 by Shannon | 3 Comments
I normally don’t spout off much about politics here on AnchorMommy, but right now, I feel I have no choice. Something very disturbing is happening in my beautiful home state of Idaho: funding for Idaho Public Television could soon be phased out — for good.

Today’s the day! The day I FINALLY get to tell all of you about the major development unfolding for me in 2010 — a development which will be the second biggest undertaking of my life to date.
This is the announcement I alluded to in A Look Back at 2009. Number six on the 2010 list, specifically.
