So, it seems I remain MIA these days. Life has been pretty hectic with the new baby. He has decided to follow in his big sister’s shoes and defy what sleep a typical baby needs to survive. Consequently, I am one tired mama! Certainly there has been no time for blogging or much else for that matter. Sleep (or lack there of) is what remains top on my list this summer. We are currently in the thick of “nap training”. (i.e. convincing a 4 month old that naps that last longer than 30 minutes are good for everyone.) I’m not one for letting a baby “cry it out” so instead what I am doing is before he hits that magical 30 minute mark I sneak in the room and pat his back when he begins to stir. So far it seems to be working and I am hoping (and praying, and fingers and toes crossed!) that in another week or so he will be doing much better. Then it will be on to the night time where he still seems to think that waking up 3-4 times is necessary. Boy, am I ever TIRED.
I am really hoping I can keep this blog alive. I truly do enjoy it. Hopefully, with time, I can get to it again on a more regular basis. I’m not done with it just yet!
Oh, and the blackberries are so ready for picking. I do hope I can find the time and energy to make some preserves before it gets too late.

Cynthia, it’s so good to hear from you. Even if it’s only once every two or three months, that’s better than nothing LOL! A new baby can be so very demanding, but so worth it. I do hope you’ll find time to keep up your blog, you are missed.
Thank you Granny!
It’s so nice to see I am not completely forgotten in the blogging world! I do miss blogging but baby and family come first. Right now life is very, very full– in fact it’s overflowing!! I’m trying all I can to hold onto my garden and blog these days!
I’m there with you. I just did the same nap training with my son. I highly recommend the baby whisperer book.
Hi Hungrypanda
Thanks for the recommendation! I have heard about the baby whisperer but have not yet read the book. I think I might look into it. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
I enjoyed browsing your site as well!
