I adore reading The Heir to Blair. She is so real and makes my life as a new mom seem normal. Whatever normal means … anyways, take a moment and read this. My favorite part is … I’m like, “Yeah. What the hell do you think about?” Does your mind do this? Run on and […]
All three of us are snuggled up on the couch ready to kick off the three day weekend. Jemma is sleeping, I’m reading blogs and Dominic is watching Supernanny, you know, because we’re taking notes on how to become super-parents. Moments ago Dominic looked at me and said, “Look how Jemma obeys me … I […]
Thankful
My original return to work date was yesterday, December 28th. For the longest time that day was equivalent to doom for me. How on earth could I leave my little girl for something so petty as work? The good news is, in early November I found out I was eligible for an additional 6 weeks […]
The Norm … Naps, Errands and the Cutest Girl in the World
Jemma and I alternate activities throughout the week – lazy day, busy day, lazy day, busy day – that’s the drill. This week was no different. Monday was the ultimate lazy day. We slept in, got dressed in loungewear and proceeded to do nothing of importance. We received our Chiquita Mom package, more on that […]
2 Months
Milestone sticker courtesy of Sticky Bellies I wonder if I’ll ever stop saying, “Where has the time gone?” Miss Jemma is a lovely 2 month old today. I never imagined loving motherhood so much. Each day brings more surprises; always leaving me wanting more. Just yesterday she looked straight at me and gave the biggest […]
Weekends with Daddy
On the weekends I snuggle with my Daddy alot. This way Mama can get housework done. We watch lots of football right now, but soon Daddy says there will be more basketball. Go Kansas Jayhawks! At one point today I needed my diaper changed and since a spot got onto my outfit, Daddy changed me […]
Jemma, let me introduce you to Nordstrom
Jemma has had two trips to Nordstrom in her short life. Her first as a mama/baby date and her second with me, Mimi and Auntie Hannah. The first adventure wasn’t intentional. I had to make a quick stop at the mall for a return and decided to turn it in to an afternoon outing – […]
During the week Jem and I spend a fair amount of time of the couch. We nurse. We cuddle. We match movies. Sometimes when she drifts off to sleep I fly around the house cleaning up and working on other projects. Sometimes I sink further into the couch and take a nap myself. Sometimes we […]
Fall Fashionista?
Some super fashionable blog mamas are posting their Fall fashions each and every day. This mama doesn’t get fully dressed every day, so our Fall fashions will be on a more weekly basis. Or maybe quarterly depending on how motivated I get :).Yesterday Jemma and I met Daddy for lunch which called for real clothes, […]
What we’ve been up to … PICTURE EDITION
Being the disorganized mama I currently am I didn’t have photos ready for our recent What we’ve been up to … post. So here they are now … enjoy! . Mallory and I met up last Friday (with our hubbies and babies) and immediately swapped children :) I loved snuggling Olivia while Mallory soaked up some […]
