So, I was at Target the other day scouring the clearance maternity racks. I had a $3 coupon for Liz Lange Maternity in hand (You can print one from their website if you’re in the business for maternity apparel. I think it doesn’t expire until the end of February.) and was bound and determined [...]
A post like the one below isn’t so much for me to brag about my amazing sewing skills (which are highly overestimated by the way) as it is to brag about the fact that I, Audrey Merket, actually wore something cute and unstained on the same day that I went to [...]
Once I’ve “come out” about being pregnant I’m all about wearing clothes that show off the bump. When I was pregnant with Cooper I was teaching so I had to look professional most days. Now that I’m not working though, the temptation to just hang out in sweatpants all day long is sometimes much too [...]
One of the joys of a second pregnancy is that you show sooner, which is super for me because my body isn’t very good at hiding secrets in the first place. Right now I’m only 12 weeks and some change and to people that know me at all I’m visibly pregnant. (Especially by the end [...]
My parents are practically the original DIY gurus. I wish I could say I have the same skill in craftsmanship and eye for detail as my parents (95% of the things they’ve created are completely indistinguishable as being homemade), but currently I don’t. Perhaps I’ll get better at it with time. Also, my parents did [...]
Don’t worry, I’m not talking about my hair. We have been somewhat stumped on what we should be for Halloween. (We’ve known what Cooper was going to be before he was born, thanks to my parents.) However, we were struck with sheer brilliance for Noel’s costume the other day when we were reading Cooper one [...]
Even though I went through 5 1/2 years of school to get a degree and a teaching license, I often find myself considering different career paths. Here are my current favorites:
1. Event Planner – I actually had a couple of summer jobs where I did this. I’m a planner and I like schedules. [...]
Yesterday, I wore ironed pants. True, I did not put them on until 4:30pm and the only people that saw them were the milk man and a few other adult leaders at a youth church activity. So what if I only wore them for 3 hours before I was summoned home to feed a starving [...]
Head – I like setting goals. Generally they are very sensible and help me accomplish tasks or grow personally, but sometimes they’re just frivolous. Like this one: Try wearing hats.
Check. Don’t I feel accomplished.
Shoulders – Cooper doesn’t like it when we do things without him. If we try to sit him [...]
