Last week we started our Bradley Method birth class. For quite some time I debated between taking a class and not taking a class. In the end, (being the educational nut I am) I decided a class was worth our time. Fit Pregnancy recently posted an article titled, Cutting Class. Seems I am in the […]
Uncle of the Year & Crib Drama
Baby’s Uncle Anton has been on the safety watch. This morning he forwarded a crib recall announcement to Dominic so we could make sure our crib was safe. Before we got our crib I checked all the recall notices and we were good to go. Unfortunately, 2 days ago our Simmons crib was recalled :( […]
Week of the Amazing Aunts – Tasha
Tasha, Karrington and Anton You can visit Tasha’s blog here. – Tasha is the wife of Dominic’s brother, Anton. Lucky for me, she bridged the way into the Bossio Family as the first daughter-in-law. When I came around a few years later it was easy to meld into the family since I had a sis-to-be […]
Week of the Amazing Aunts – M’Lissa
M’Lissa, Bishop and Mike You can visit M’Lissa’s blog here. – I’m telling you all right off … your life isn’t complete without a big sister. Scratch that, older sister. “Big” is not a term appreciated by older sisters (take note, Katie and Hannah). Most of my early memories with M’Lissa are documented in pictures […]
Why do Mondays have to have such an awful Monday feeling?
You know those days that totally suck. Mondays are pretty frequently those days for me. I think it is a combination of weekend withdrawls and lack of motivation for anything work related. WEEKEND WITHDRAWLS Weekends are great. No one tells you what to do. You can sleep whenever you want. You plan your own schedule. […]

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 […]
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 […]
I See
My vision insurance has renewed and I’m now on the hunt for the perfect pair of glasses. I’ve decided to go with glasses instead of my normal contact, because with a baby I figure I’m going to be up at night and napping during the day. That’s my pre-mama thought at least. Plus, I get […]
Unknowns
As of today I have identified 3 surprise monsters who are hiding away in the closet of life … the big unknowns of my pregnancy. If our baby will be a boy or girl – I do have some control over this one, but I’m sticking to my guns and going the old-fashioned route and […]
B.R.A.N.
My co-worker, Kami, has the vibe. She gets what I mean when I get passionate about breastfeeding and knows why cloth diapers are so darn exciting :) Last week she gave me Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering and it has skyrocketed to my top favorite baby books. It is written by Dr. Sarah Buckley, MD who […]
