I am reading a book right now and I am so excited about it I want to share it with you all. It is called “The Myth of the Perfect Mother” by Carla Barnhill. When I started reading this book, I couldn’t believe that it is no longer in print! I had to buy a […]
Square Peg, Meet Round Hole
Have you ever felt like you were doing a job that didn’t quite fit you and instead of thriving you find yourself tired at the end of each day? While I love being a mom and spending my time taking care of Jack, I hate the housework that comes along with being stay at home […]
“I Am Changing” (imagine Jennifer Hudson
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the changes I have seen in Jack this past week. They may not seem like much to most people, but I feel as though my baby is disappearing and growing up too fast! I never thought I would say that. In the first couple of months of […]
Spinach Soufflé
Last week I went over to my friend Ann’s and she made us a wonderful spinach soufflé. I loved it and she said something to the extent of, “I just threw it all in a blender and here it is!” That idea excited me because I’ve been using my blender a lot lately making peas, […]
A Boy and His Ball
Impressed? I am. Happy 8 Months Jack!
He sits AND rolls… what a guy.
I’m not sure if I’ve talked about my concerns over Jack’s developmental abilities such as rolling over, crawling, etc. on here, but he seems to be slower than most babies his age. I’ve stopped looking at what “should” happen for some time now, but now something HAS happened! Not only is Jack able to sit […]
Highs & Lows
Today’s High: Jack snuggling into my shoulder right before I put him down for bed just like he used to. Today’s Low: Stressing out about money. Dumb recession.
Never Go Through a Woman’s Purse…
Yesterday my sister Chelsea and I went to Water World. It was so wonderful to take the afternoon off, leave Jack at home with Tim, and act like a little kid again! But one of my favorite moments of the day happened while we were entering the park. As I was stopped to have my […]
The Redemption of the Nipple Shield
The other day I had the joy of holding my friends’ four day old baby girl. As I held the tiny bundle, I once again was in awe over how precious a new life is. I also could not remember Jack being that tiny – but as you can see, he was! While there, I […]
Did I Go Too Far?
Alright, here’s the situation. I went to the grocery store and saw a new mom pushing her cart with what was obviously a new born in a car seat (so cute!). As I glanced over – or gawked is more like it, was Jack really that tiny!? – I noticed that the baby was sucking […]
