There’s this page I follow on Facebook called Proverbs 31 Ministries that I really enjoy reading. It always seems to touch on a subject close to heart and that I’ve been thinking about, or reading it brings me back to what really matters. I loved everything about the above post because I too want… Continue reading Not leaving things to chance
Today was pretty jam packed with fun and enexpexted activities. Well, at least unexpected to me based on what I originally thought we would be doing on a Friday. First I was hungry for a workout. So at 6:30am after feeding Elysse, I headed out the door with my workout gear and headphones on.… Continue reading Family time
Now that we have our newborn and toddler, more than ever I want to make sure my husband and I have alone time together to do things we enjoy and did pre-babies. It was hard enough with one, but I can already see that if we aren’t intentional about taking time to be together, we… Continue reading A switch to the date “night”, with a funny outcome
This past weekend my brother, sis in law, niece and nephew visited us from Arizona. The last time we saw them was when I was 4 months pregnant so it was extra special to see them and for them to meet Elysse in person. Celeste has a huge love for My Little Pony and my… Continue reading Do you see what I see?
One of the biggest things I struggle with since becoming a parent is giving myself grace and being flexible. (And patience, my gosh how I struggle with patience!) I don’t even remember how I handled success and failure pre-kids anymore. But I do know how difficult both are to me now that I have… Continue reading Accepting and loving myself as I am
Nine years ago on this exact date, February 28th, I had just finished one of my usual dance lessons at Londance Studio in Santa Ana. As I was walking toward the front lobby to exit I saw “handsome guy” talking with the nice lady at the front desk and I smiled and said good… Continue reading When you meet that special someone
Nothing good can possibly come of writing at 10:20pm after more than an hour of trying to put my 5 week old to bed and failing miserably. But I think every mom should be allowed a rant, especially at the 5 week mark when sleep has gotten slightly better, but let’s face it, I’m still… Continue reading About a newborn – the 5 week mark rant
Tomorrow is my 40th birthday! I can’t seem to wrap my mind around the fact that I’m greeting this milestone birthday with a 3 year old daughter and a little bitty 4 week old newborn. Wow! For starters, how am I 40?! I don’t even feel like I’m 40 and some people say I certainly… Continue reading About a newborn – hello 40!
I’m so ready to throw in the towel with baby E and just pump and feed her with a bottle. Today she decided she’s going to eat about every 2 hrs and only latching on each side about 5-8 min. In the meantime I want to cry! My nipples are sore again and all I… Continue reading About a newborn – Nursing
I’ve never been a night owl. Usually by 9pm my body and brain begins to shut down and I long to cozy up in my bed and get in a good nights sleep. As I stand in the darkness of our room desperately trying to rock our almost one month old to sleep, I peer… Continue reading Night time how you taunt me
