Dancing Queen
Alice loves ABBA. This discovery was made by accident when Wayne put on Netflix and scrolled down to Mamma Mia! She didn’t stop dancing.
Normally I enjoy adding comedy to my posts. I like to crack groanworthy jokes in the hopes that it makes at least one person smile that day. But right now I’m feeling that Mum heartfelt “oh, my perfect little girl” feeling.
Alice dances everywhere. If there’s a beat, she finds it moving. Each day she takes my hands, tells me that I’m “stuck,” and pulls to get me to stand up. And on those days when I don’t feel my aching, tired body and mind betraying me, I get up. We dance. And I get lost in my love for my daughter.
Like many adults, I can find it difficult to live in the moment. I’m either stuck agonizing over the past and what I could have done differently, or worried about an uncertain future. Ever since Alice was born, I’ve found it easier to be present. I’m finding the joy in daily moments. I’m learning to cherish all that I have rather than what might have been or could be. She’s helped me slow down and view the world in a long-forgotten way.
Alice reminds me to dance.

Never Underestimate the Strength of a Baby
We’ve reached that phase … the dreaded scratch, bite, climb phase. Believe me, I love how my tiny Dinosaur is super active. She loves to move as if her entire being has led up to these moments full of laughter, joy, dancing, and speed. Considering where my brain was...
A Valentine Comic
It’s the Dinosaur’s first Valentine’s Day! Yay! And I am determined to make it a love filled day of wonderful-ness. I have a small budget, a messy house, a clingy Alice, and my father-in-law is home all day ... Challenge accepted. Wayne’s coming home for lunch and...
All in a Day’s Work
Not much to update on today. I’ve been creating what I hope is a better home and work routine; setting aside time to write and create the comic a little bit at a time each day rather than trying to do one long creation sprint Tuesday before the comic needs to be...
An Adventure Awaits
Let’s do an end of the month check in! January was a long month of exhaustion. Two weeks after Alice’s surgery we found ourselves in a car accident. Everyone was okay. The car was not. And I ended up with a mild concussion leaving me pretty darn tired for a total of...
