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 […]

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 […]

I have so many things that I want to talk about…to blog about. I want to tell you all that Noah started Preschool on Monday. And I want to go into detail about how I’m feeling about having my biggest baby gone three days a week. How my heart is breaking the tiniest bit because […]
