My Little Night Owl

When I lay down at night … propped up between 1,00 pillows … I feel my little one wiggle around like crazy. It’s hard to think about falling asleep when all I want to do is focus on these little movements. Let me tell you, I’ve got a little night owl growing inside of me! […]

Design Mom & The Perfect Birth Plan

Between my infatuation with childbirth, babies and craft projects I have literally fallen in love with Design Mom. I read her everyday. Usually during a quick break at work when I need an upbeat refresher. Her family is adorable (she has 6 kiddos), her crafts are lovely, and some days I kind of wish we […]

A Baby Carrier for Dad

We are in the market for a baby carrier for this guy … 6 feet, 2 inches – 260 pounds – crazy buff shoulders I totally thought I would be the baby wearer and Dom would be the bag carrier/stroller pusher. But no, he is very much into the idea of toting baby around. How […]

Hiker of the Year

For Mother’s Day we met up with JanMom and MarlonDad for church and lunch … afterwards we rallied at the Lacamas Creek Trail Head for a Morris Clan walk/hike. As we all know, I am not an outdoorsy girl. It was rough to don my hiking gear (AKA – the only pair of shorts I […]

Mother’s Day

Little reality check here … I’M GOING TO BE A MOM!!! Nothing like trying to grasp my pending motherhood. Today was one of the days that helped to piece it all together. I was told “Happy Mother’s Day” over and over and I’m sure I responded with some puzzled looks. Then I realized, wow, they […]
