The Chester Diaries: Celebrating the feast and famine known as new motherhood.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Lara and I gave birth in April, 2010 to a baby boy. I've been calling him "Chester" since he was a little chestnut in my tummy. To commemorate his three month birthday, I wanted to write about the crazy, joyous and exhausting ride I've been having as a first-time mom. If you're interested in reading about the highs and lows of uncharted mommy territory as well as my unhealthy obsession with shopping, (particularly baby gear), reviews, and pop culture observations, then you've come to the right place. Be warned: This cute kid has a mommy who can be a bit of a potty mouth.

Note: This blog is no longer active but please enjoy Chester's journey from 3 months to 2+ years.


Monday, May 30

The grass is always greener...

It's taken over a month but we are finally getting used to the city-free sounds of our new home.  Streetcar bells, loud drunks and the loutish intrusion of rude neighbours have now been replaced with chirping birds, the rumble of the garbage truck passing through, as well as the cacophony of lawn mowers humming on a Saturday morning.

Add to that, a sight I never thought I'd see.

Tim tackles the lawn with glee.

He already mowed it the week before!

Apparently it needs to be done every week or it "looks like shit."

Whups!  A little trip and this garden bunny keeps right on going.


Also, words I never thought I'd hear.  Tim:  "I can't wait to cut the lawn this weekend."  If you know Tim, especially anything about his childhood having to cut the family lawn, this is truly a momentous occasion.  I guess life really is full of surprises!
