Not everyone will agree with this blog post, and that’s fine with me. I love my kid. I love her more than I ever thought I could love her. I want other children, yet I can’t imagine “splitting” my love for her. Every day with her is so exciting and amazing. I’m so lucky to […]
Long time, no post. It’s been a crazy few months in our house. It’s been great, but I just feel like there’s been a lot going on. Life update: I feel like we’ve just been going for the last few months. Holidays and family stuff. Getting stuff done. Everything that comes with life. If I […]
I have never been great at planning out meals. Even though I no longer teach & am a stay at home mom now, I still struggle figuring out what’s for dinner. I’ve food prepped occasionally on my own, but recently my mom and one of my sisters joined in. Here’s what I prepped and put […]
Being pregnant is hard work. Delivering a baby is hard work. Taking care of a baby is hard work. None of that is news to anyone who’s experienced it. I’ve always heard women say things like “Well you won’t be able to do that once you have a baby!” or “You stop caring about what […]
Why do I make it? Before getting pregnant & having Avery, I was never focused on eating “clean”. To be honest, I’m still not. I made better food choices when I was pregnant (when I could actually eat). I still try to make good choices because I’m nursing. I’ve never been a healthy eater & […]
Sweet Avery is a little over 5 months old now. Where has the time gone? Baby schedules change all the time & for no reason at all! Or at least, that’s how it seems. A growth spurt (either physical or developmental) will change your world for a bit. I have a couple of huge luxuries […]
Everyone says that money is one of the biggest triggers for any marriage or relationship. If you’ve ever had any financial woes, you understand why. We bought our first house in January 2019 & furnished nearly every room with brand new furniture. We got married in June 2019. My parents paid quite a nice sum […]
I usually keep my diaper bag stocked & ready to go. Nobody wants to pack the diaper bag after you just changed your baby’s outfit twice because they spit up all over it. I also would rather be ready to go, than have one more thing to do before getting out the door. This is […]
I love glitter and everything girly. However, I don’t like pastel colors & I didn’t want a themed nursery (with characters or animals). We want more kids, so our plan from the get-go was that Avery’s room will always be the nursery & we’ll move her to her “big girl” room when it’s time for […]
You will need a few medicines for baby at some point. You won’t know you need them until baby is screaming at 2 A.M. Just go ahead and get them ahead of time! You’ll figure out what works & what doesn’t for your baby once they’re here. All of these are over the counter & […]
