Bearing Fruit

July 10, 2017July 10, 2017 - Lauren Jamison 2 Comments

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

Dear Little One, I’m Sorry

March 14, 2017March 14, 2017 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

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 #2

March 13, 2017March 14, 2017 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

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. Aubrey had a great latch, I never had any pain, and for the firstRead more

Baby Must Haves For #2

February 12, 2017March 14, 2017 - Lauren Jamison 2 Comments

One would think when you have the second kid, especially if they are the same gender as the first, you in theory shouldn’t really need anything when it comes to baby gear. While that was mostly true for us, the first baby always provides a nice learning curve and some trial and error, so byRead more

*This was written a few weeks ago, but as life goes right now I’m just getting to share it 🙂 We haven’t reached the real trenches of this adjustment quite yet, but I’m learning so many little lessons figuring out how to handle two children it feels worth documenting.  The biggest lesson of all hasRead more

Newborn Photos of Sweet Eva

January 23, 2017 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

As easy as Eva is, and man is she an easy baby, taking newborn photos was not the breeze of a task I thought it would be.  Contrary to my first born, this little girl loves to be held. So the concept of laying her sleeping little self down and positioning her in all mannersRead more

Eva’s Birth Story: A Home Waterbirth

January 20, 2017January 20, 2017 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

Eva’s birth story isn’t the one I expected to tell. Both of our girls’ pregnancies and births happened in the midst of so much change and chaos. With Aubrey we found out we were pregnant while we were still stationed in South Dakota. I spent a few months living in North Carolina with my parentsRead more

Taking Elephant For A Walk

October 26, 2016October 23, 2016 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

I thought bringing elephant along would make a cute prop. As is turns out, walking elephants requires near constant attention. One must make sure they are upright, and in fact moving in a forward direction. And make sure their string remains untangled.  Of course you don’t want to pay such close attention to your ellieRead more

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.  Trying to grasp the concept of placing your newfound treasures in your brightly colored bucket.  Putting on your Sunday’s best and being forced to smile for a million familyRead more
