Remembering My Promise

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.

Cut the Control, Unleash the Flexibility

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

I want to document these memories because I know that as the weeks go by it will help me to be able to look back on this when faced with… Continue reading Little milestones

Butter To My Bread

This post is for my husband. I was watching the movie Julie and Julia the other day, well at least parts of it here and there because it’s a lot harder to watch a full movie now that we have a little baby. One of my favorite lines of the entire movie was something that Paul Child said… Continue reading Butter To My Bread

This Bump of Mine

It’s been quite a while since my last post and that’s because I’ve been truly enjoying this time off after finishing my Spring semester at school. I can’t even begin to explain the relief I felt when I finished my last final, pure bliss. Now that I have all this extra free time there are no more… Continue reading This Bump of Mine
