Jonah is going on five months and we are finally starting to hit a stride around here. While there are still several days where I end up collapsing in bed when the day is over, I feel like there are more days now where I sit back and can say, “This isn’t so bad. Maybe […]

To my Sweet Boys… Growing up, I always thought that I would be a girl mom. I was raised with girl cousins and a little sister. While there were boys in our family, we were never super close, so I knew next to nothing about the ins and outs of being around boys. Aside from […]

I swore when I was pregnant with Jonah that I wouldn’t become that blogger. You know. The one who has a baby (or has her second, third, fourth, etc. baby) and forgets that she ever once existed on the web. Forgets about her blog, her readers, social media presence, and all that goes along with […]

One thing everyone told me when I was pregnant with Jonah was that I would have no trouble loving both of my boys the same. That while I may love them differently, it would still be the same kind of love…the same amount of love. That part is true. I love Jonah as much as […]

This post is hard for me to write. But, I’m really struggling right now with parenting two boys. Not in a “I’m still sleep deprived” and “Having a baby is so hard” kind of way. But in a trying to show both of my boys how much I love them kind of way. Jonah is […]

We all know that our kids grow to fast. We struggle to make it through pregnancy and count down the days until our kids arrive. The last days of waiting drag by. Then, when they are born, we curse the clock on a daily basis and bed it to slow down. That’s what I love […]

We made the decision together. Me, you and your daddy. We talked about it and discussed it and covered every angle. We all decided that it would be the best option for you. The best decision to get you ready to venture out on your own next year and prepare you for Kindergarten. Preschool. We […]

I wondered when I found out that I was pregnant with a second baby if my heart was big enough to hold both of my boys. I love my oldest so much that it hurts and the thought of being able to love another child…another boy especially…didn’t seem possible. I told myself that if it […]

2:00 am. Five minute feeding and then back to sleep. Fingers crossed that we get at least a three hour stretch this time. 4:30 am. Two and a half hours. It’s better than one hour or one and a half hours. Time for him to eat again. Seven minute feeding and he’s back asleep. Crawl […]
