I recently told a friend something that felt hard to say out loud. “I thought I’d be a better mom.” I stated it casually, but the words felt heavy and tears threatened at the corners of my eyes. See, I thought I was ready. I felt prepared. I did all the things. I considered every bite of food that went in my body. I took the classes. I read the books. I washed the precious, small onesies in baby detergent and I talked to my sweet baby bump every night on the couch. But then it happened. I really ... View the Post
Dry Shampoo {updated experiments}
For some reason I've been in a writing SLUMP and I was revisiting my blog when I was young and carefree (haha! I'm still young but slightly more cares...) and I remembered how I started this blog initially because I truly love to talk about products. In another life, I would have loved to work in that industry, however that was/is not my path and GOD BLESS all of you that do because I don't think I could put up with trying to please people on that level day in and day out! Phew... talk about ... View the Post
Life Lately
Sometimes I don't blog because it isn't anything that I find interesting to others. But then I remember that (mostly) my blog is for ME! And like reading old diaries, I get a kick out of seeing what I was up to at _____ point in time. So... here's what we've been up to lately. Our family and everyone else suffering from Winter is thrilled that Spring is around the corner. It's a total game changer getting out and enjoying the day vs being trapped inside. Beck loves the park, strolling around ... View the Post
Amazing Little Sleeper {how we got our life back}
There is a reason that sleep deprivation is used as torture. Because it is. Many moms will toast their tenth cup of coffee and insist that being a mom means “you will never sleep again.” A permanent zombie. But, not for me. Emotionally and physically worn out, sure. But so tired I feel sick and impaired? No. I couldn’t accept this. I have many (multiple!) friends whose babies have learned to sleep. They are healthy. Thriving. Functioning. And I knew it was possible. Being a mom means a lot of ... View the Post
Sweet & Modern {the why}
A friend let me know today that it was her blogiversary. To many non bloggers, this may seem insignificant, but for most bloggers, it's a huge celebration of the time, effort and thought put in to so many unseen details. It got me thinking…. When is my blogiversary? And secondly, have I ever celebrated it? The answer to the first question is easy. December 17th, 2012. My first post, ever, published. The answer to the second question is more complicated. No, not really. I’ve acknowledged it ... View the Post
Chips & Margaritas {7 Random Questions}
Some days I would DIE for the careless half price margarita nights with a huge group of ladies that we had in college. Of course I would never want to return to that point in life, but for a few hours? And for a few Margs and a night out every month? Maybe... I know this is random, but I think what I miss the most about living/going out a lot with the girls is the RANDOM conversations. So tonight, I'm answering the most random questions (strictly for fun!) and you can feel free to hop in on the ... View the Post
