Celeste had her very first play date today and even though it was the first time she went to my friend’s house she completely made herself at home and was crawling around everywhere like she owned the place. I loved that she got to play with the babies/kiddos and us girls got to get some… Continue reading Happy Moments and Trees
It’s been an amazing past couple of days. On Friday November 16th our tiny love turned one. One! One of the things that I have always loved to do as the current year is about to end is to look back on all the events that have happened throughout the year because I’m always amazed by everything… Continue reading The Big “1”
What did I do Saturday evening? Well, I decided to take Celeste, our now 10 month baby, for the very first time to JC Penney for a photo shoot. Oh…my…gosh, where to start?! If you are looking for the ideal recipe to annoy your baby, annoy yourself, annoy anyone who accompanies you (my mother in this case) and… Continue reading The One About the Photo Studio
You know those days where nothing quite goes as planned and you’re busy going from one thing to the next with a few moments of downtime sprinkled here and there? I’ve had one of those days, and its been wonderful. How is it that it’s been so great if I haven’t quite been able to… Continue reading Just the right attitude
I was thinking about a post I wrote a while back A Gift To Myself and decided to revisit my post and remind myself of the promise I made to be more gentle and kind to myself when it comes to my thoughts, especially now that I’m a new mommy. It’s pretty awesome to think that almost 9 months… Continue reading Remembering My Promise
These last few days have been a bit tense for me. As you may remember I mentioned before that I started school again after taking 2 semesters off and now with working part time, going to school part time, plus the new responsibility of our baby daughter, I’m finding it really difficult at times to juggle everything without feeling overwhelmed.… Continue reading Cut the Control, Unleash the Flexibility
Today I was on kiddie overload. Correction, my mom and I were on kiddie overload. Yesterday, my vision of today was of a low key relaxing day spent with my husband, baby girl Celeste, and our bulldog Biggie. Unfortunately that image came to a screeching halt when my husband called me last night and told me… Continue reading Do Not Disturb
Last night I learned that 9 month old babies (namely ours) do not like to have foreign objects inserted into their nose, especially if said object is also squirting some kind of liquid inside. I’m sure this will one day change though when she realizes that by poking her little finger into said nose she’ll be able to… Continue reading Mission Almost Impossible: The Saline Nose Dropper
There is a part of my subconscious (the stronger part) that is doing the bob and weave and saying “really, that’s all you’ve got? Bring it on!” and then the other half of my subconscious is huddled away in a corner, facing the wall, and waving a white flag over her head in defeat, burned out… Continue reading Burned Out But Laughing
As I was feeding little Miss Celeste this morning and she’s falling asleep in my arms, I started to thumb through my cell phone email and found this awesome Zelda wisdom in my inbox. The timing couldn’t be better, our little one was down for her nap and not only did I have some free time to blog (a priceless… Continue reading Smooth out, fold, tuck in, and voila, a little piece of amazing!
