Our daughter Celeste is enrolled in Gybmoree Play & Learn classes and one of the songs they sing is one where each parent holds their baby in front of them and we sing along to tick tock, tick tock, now we’re reaching “x” o’clock, we even do the little cookoo sound to match the time we’re singing.… Continue reading Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Now We’re Reaching 2 o’clock
For the sake of today’s post, the term “bullyfied” (which my husband and I coined) will mean: Trying not to maintain laziness. Ever since becoming a new mommy, getting a decent workout has become something of a challenge. As it was, before I became a mom working out was something of a love-hate relationship for me.… Continue reading Trying Not To Be “Bullyfied” (In the Bulldog sense)
It’s 8pm and I’ve just left my mom, 7 month old baby, and nephew standing outside my locked car in the parking structure at the mall as I speed walk back to the stores we visited in search of my lost car/house keys. Despite the fact that I’m a natural worrier/over thinker, when it comes to moments like these this unusual… Continue reading More Than Just a Happy Meal
“The most beautiful curve on a woman’s body is her smile” I read that quote on a Facebook post the other day, and how appropriate that I happened to remember it yesterday as I stood in front of the mirror at the Macy’s department store, the swim suit department no less, and tried on what… Continue reading There is a swim suit out there with my name on it!
Now that I’ve been back at work for a few months, my mornings have become quite interesting now that we have baby Celeste. When it comes to getting ready for work I’ve always sort of just left things to the last minute, actually I tend to be like that in general, although there is always… Continue reading Mommy Brain or Just Plain Absentminded?
I had one of my biggest Aha! moments today thanks to the color purple and I thought, why not make a list of the reasons why, for me, the color purple rocks. I saved the best for last. I was born in February, and very appropriately the birthstone is Amethyst…is it any wonder I love… Continue reading 6 Reasons why the color Purple rocks!
I’ve always had some pretty bizarre dreams. I’ve heard people say that dreams are a reflection of things that are going on in your life. Sometimes I’ve had to question that because some of my dreams can be pretty weird, sometimes full of color and imagination – which can be very fun, and other times they’re just downright laughable from… Continue reading All Shook Up
One day, around the time when Celeste was probably about 2 1/2 months old, I was messaging with my cousin and pouring my heart out to her on how overwhelmed and exhausted I felt and how miserable the first few weeks of sleep deprivation felt. Basically how warped my mind felt. I love talking to… Continue reading From Purse to Diaper Bag
I have been itching to get on here to write for what seems like ages and just as I’m about to sit down and get comfy I suddenly hear the mommy call, which at 4 months of age means that my little one lets out a little cry to let me know it’s her time now. So here… Continue reading Is there a pause button somewhere?
There’s so many things that I took away with me this weekend from our marriage retreat, most importantly that we can’t do it alone, that it’s important to have God guide us and be an essential part of our relationship and also that “love is a verb”. This “love is a verb” comes from Andy Stanley’s… Continue reading “Love is a verb”
