Ghost Peppers

There are just some moments in your marriage that make you bust out laughing.  Like truly fall out on the floor laughing.  Tonight we shared one of those moments.

Friday, Porch & I were out grocery shopping and he found a new type of salsa made by his favorite brand, Mrs. Renfro's.  Personally, I'm not a masochist, but we all know Porch is so we bought it:  Ghost Pepper Salsa.

Last night, we were talking about whatever and he randomly starts talking about how wouldn't it be fun for me to video his reaction to said salsa?   I shrugged and decided I would likely have nothing better to do.

Cue tonight.  We were due to be at a wedding but I was not feeling very well and the heat was kicking my ass.  So we stuck close to home and I took advantage of a cat nap.  Sad, but true.  It's like a thousand degrees here today & while we're kicking it on the couch in front of the fan, watching Parks & Rec on Netflix (we live a pretty classy life), Porch announces, "I think I'm ready to try my salsa now."

I sprint down the hall to get my Flip! video camera.  Wouldn't want you guys to miss this one...

You're welcome in advance.
Also, we probably need to get out more.
Or drink more water or something.  The heat makes people crazy.

Update:  the video I posted was too big I think.  So I made you this amazing video with the Flip software -- enjoy.



The video is actually 10 minutes long.  If you ever want to see the entire thing (we know you don't), we can certainly share that gem with you.



Notice:  We were in no way compensated for posting about Mrs. Renfro's, Netflix, or Parks & Rec, or my Flip camera. It was just a normal Saturday evening at Casa de Los Porchs. But if we had been, that'd be pretty sweet (and a little less depressing, right?).

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks

Charlotte {9 months}

Let's just put this out there, we picked Charlotte before Charlotte was a princess.  ;)  And I'm not sure that the royal baby will ever be called Charlie or Charlie Bug and I'm even more certain that I don't care what they named their kid.  It's just about to be an amazingly popular baby name and we were TOTES ahead of that trend. Charlotte is 9 months old already! Stats Weight:  20 lbs, 12 oz (86.13 %ile) Length:  29.75 inches (98.75 %ile) Head circumference:  18.23 inches (96.69 %ile) This girl is perfect.  She is proportional and amazingly squishy. Teeth:  still just the 2 lower, but I'm confident she'll have a few top teeth soon.  She's been a drool machine lately and everything is back to being in her mouth. Charlotte likes... ... walking around the house (holding mama and daddy's fingers) ... Army crawling, especially when she can pull on the high pile carpet in her room ... those Gerber wheel treat things ... bath time ... blo

Charlotte's birth story

Thank goodness this isn't my 40 week update; I was really nervous that I'd have to write one of those and even possibly the dreaded 41 week update!  Today was her due date, but we got to meet her just a little early.  Charlotte Esther joined our family at 2:07am on Friday, August 8th... and changed our lives forever.  There's now a squishy baby who calls for us and loves nothing more than snuggling on our chests.  We are, in fact, living the dream.  A dream 4 years in the making and worth every moment.  My heart is so full of love for Charlotte and I am so excited to see how she grows and changes. I have always enjoyed reading the birth stories of my blogger friends' babies and felt it gave me hope as it was the final moment in the battle against infertility, the crossing of a finish line.  So today, in celebration of love and this chubby cheeked baby girl, I share with you the story of Charlotte's birth.
