Blessed Cabin Fever

Quilla Soleil - 2 months old

Today was the first day we've had in a while without a scheduled appointment, activity, or plane to catch ... and it was like a holiday ... or a lazy Sunday. We slept in, played, sang, danced, had 2 guests visit, napped, took a long walk, played some more, had an impromptu photo shoot for Quill in her super cute red tutu, made crepes for dinner while Quilla gurgled stories to her new Laugh & Learn Puppy, skyped with Aunt Jenn, Mommy took a shower, Quilla took a spa whirlpool bath ..... and then it was 7pm.
I was out of ideas.
So, I made some popcorn and we snuggled up together in bed to watch
"Santa Claus is Coming to Town" on ABC. Crazy that a 2 month old can watch TV, but she does! AND she seemed to really enjoy the show! Afterwards, she nursed and then fell asleep for the night.

Gosh ... I even cooked dinner tonight with the same ease that I did prior to September 27, 2010!
Well, I'm not going to hold my breath, but after a day like today I think (maybe ... just maybe) we've started to get the hang of this new "Mommy and Me" schedule.

Hi. My name is Cash, and I'm a stinky mom.

I am an ex-model/actress/singer from New York City turned Texan homeopathic practitioner/premed student of osteopathic medicine.

On September 27, 2010, I finally joined the ranks of motherhood.

I’ve wanted to be a Mom for a long time, and quite honestly, it’s the best thing I’ve ever/will ever do. I just had no idea that with this prestigious title comes bouts of temporary amnesia, sleep deprivation, an untidy house, unintentional eating disorders, embarrassing stained clothing, and general bad personal hygiene. My precious 29 month old Quilla and her sweet three month old baby sister Zarielle, keep me so busy that I rarely shower on a regular basis anymore! And let me tell you- I NEED to shower! Between all the pee, poopie, leaky breasts, and regurgitated breast milk being spewed on me constantly, I should shower hourly! I am a walking biohazard.
Ok- that’s a slight over-exaggeration.

I wouldn’t trade being a Stinky Mom for all the tea in China. I fall in love with my girls over and over again every day with every coo, laugh, smile & tear. These lovely little monsters are the greatest loves of my life.

Hi. My name is Jaq, and I’m a stinky mom.

I am a Graphic Artist and sometimes photographer working as an in-house Art Director for a sport clothing and supply company. I'm also a graduate student working on my MFA in Graphic Design and Illustration. I have a too-cool 10 year old son, Christian, who brings me giant bouts of laughter on a daily basis and a gorgeous 1-year-old daughter, Charlotte, who never fails too keep me on my toes with her adventurous and independent spirit. Needless to say, I'm overwhelmed, stressed, stretched too thin and yes...a bit stinky at times!
