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
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
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
A few days ago I read the post Operation banging body, day effing 1 written by Ness at One Thousand Single Days, which you can find at this link http://onethousandsingledays.com/2012/08/13/operation-banging-body-day-effing-1/#more-570 Since then I’ve kept thinking about Ness’s words and the challenge she’s made to herself, so much so that I went back and re-read her post,… Continue reading I want my sexy back too!
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!
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)
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 felt such a need just now to get on here and write. Like when your body is thirsty for water and can’t wait to be satiated. It’s been a week of exciting milestones that I can’t wait to share. So if you’re ready for some baby stories, sit back, relax, and enjoy. Our little girl is… Continue reading Milestones and New Experiences
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!
