I haven't written in a long time. Not because I have nothing to say, but because I literally feel like I have fought a war at the end of every day. By the time I take care of the tiny person all day, do whatever household tasks need done, tend to the dogs, take care... Continue Reading →
I have been a mommy to the cutest little lady on the planet for almost 16 months. It's been an incredibly rewarding adventure that I am so glad I embarked upon.

Today, as I was chasing my astoundingly fast crawling 8 month old, I chuckled to myself. The things I could not wait for her to do are so amazing, but what I wouldn't give to have my sleepy, calm, baby back at times. And then it hit me....I am going to always be excited... Continue Reading →
At some point in the beginning of my time as a mom, I wrote about my wants and my needs as a mother. Oh, here's the link; What you need. What I know now, is these things shift as Emma ages. So, as I was talking to my friend who is about to have twins,... Continue Reading →
