There are a lot of other posts I’ve got on my list to write. Events and happenings, milestones and memories prior to today that will make their way to the blog eventually, but right now my heart is needing to write this post. Maybe there is someone needing to read it, maybe it’s just askingRead more
Monthly blogging is a thing right? Ha! Now that I think about it, I didn’t even get this one in at the month mark, we’re looking at more like a month and a half, but who’s counting right? So, to catch up a bit. Miss Eva will be 16 weeks this week, pushing that 4Read more
Dear Little One, tonight I lost the last shred of patience I had, and instead of appreciating your amazing two year old spirit so kindly showcasing your outstanding drumming skills, I begged, pleaded, and finally all but yelled at you to leave the room so I could tend to your fussy newborn sister who was refusingRead more
Breastfeeding is one of those love/hate parts of motherhood that makes for a sticky subject to discuss on the blog. With our first daughter we started off beautifully, problem free, and had what I would have considered a magical breastfeeding relationship.

Holidays really are a whole new experience with little ones. It’s experiencing an Easter egg hunt for the first time. Discovering hidden treasures around every corner.

I’m sorry for the constant barrage of baby related posts here lately. I promise I will move on soon, but I wanted to recap on a few subjects while they are still fresh because let’s face it, Aubrey is already 15 months and I’m just getting around to writing this post.

Each new phase your little one goes through presents it’s own sets of challenges and rewards. I personally felt like with each month that passed life got a little easier bit by bit. We stopped swaddling around 3 months, ditched the paci then as well. Solids coming into the picture majorly changed things. In aRead more
