finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
Only 25 days to go! Is that really possible? This morning as our alarms went off Dominic rolled over and said, “Soon our alarm will be a baby and we won’t have to listen to these crazy alarm songs.” OMG, he’s right! It is really easy to get tied up in all the little things when […]
It took me awhile to finish up these posts on vaccinations .. shame on me. What can I say? I got a little preoccupied with baby clothes, bedding and other fun stuff :)– We’ve yet to make our decision about vaccines. It seems that one moment I’m super confident that we aren’t going to vaccinate, […]
Some days I completely lack words. I have nothing to post. Nothing inspirational. Just blah. Those are the days I go exploring … blog-sploring you could call it. Recently I found … She Breathes Deeply and The Mommyhood Memos They are now part of my daily reads. Good stuff … check them out :) She Breathes Deeply recently answered […]
Five days into my 30 Days Until Baby posts. That is 1/6 of the month. Time doesn’t have breaks! Dominic is chomping at the bit … he is ready for this baby to be here! For example … Friday night … well, Saturday morning … 3 am. He starts patting the bed all around me. […]
I adore the weekends for one particular reason … naptime. I’ve always loved naps, but truly, WHO HAS THE TIME? But, in an effort to slow down and physically/mentally prepare for baby I have tried to incorporate a few here and there. This Saturday and Sunday were prime examples. Both days I stopped the madness […]
Watch that ticker go! Only 27(ish) days until baby arrives! Here is Day #3 of 30 Days to Baby … All this planning for baby has me reflecting on the previous Big Day in my life. My extraordinary, special, fantabulous wedding. You know, the day where I married my very own Prince Charming. I think […]
I am so excited for Adriel’s Moms Who Work Series! Check out The Mommyhood Memos for a preview of what she has coming down the pipeline!
It’s Day #2 in 30 Days to Baby! I’m sensing that these last few pregnancy posts are going to fly by … just like the last 9 months. My oh my! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of emotion surrounding breastfeeding. I know alot of this comes from my OUT OF CONTROL pregnancy hormones, but […]
Have you noticed the ticker up top? The one counting down the moments until I hold my baby? Well, today kicks off “30 Days to Baby”! I am a big believer in the “GUESS DATE” instead of a due date, so 30 days is just an estimate, it could be 10 days … or 40! […]
It’s true, there are a ton of reasons why I absolutely adore my husband. This weekend he added 2 more … We ran out of toilet paper upstairs on Sunday night. Being too lazy/pregnant to trek to the garage for more I moved my tissue box into the bathroom for my midnight visits. By the […]
Our baby mobile is finally ours!!! After much Craigslist searching on Dominic’s part and anguish on my part (I mean, we are mere days away from having a child and only had a 2-seater car until today) our family has a family-size car. I am brimming with excitment! It’s a 1999 Honda CRV. It is an […]
