Prepare yourselves, this is a bit of a long look inside a day-in-the-life. If you get to the end, I applaud you and we should be friends, if not already. 3:30 am- Alarm wakes me up to pump. Check e-mail, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter with one eye closed. 6:45- Cal wakes up, I nurse him […]

Last week I mentioned that I was entering a pie into the fair. I knew I was up against some stiff competition, as those old ladies don’t mess around, but I thought it’d be fun nonetheless. Caramel Apple Tree Apple Pie So The Hubby and I took Gwyn on a “daughter date,” with Cal staying […]
I think I am beginning to hate marshmallows. As an incentive for Gwyn to use the potty, I filled a pretty little jar with those tiny, pastel, tempting, marshmallows that I just knew my toddler would oodle over. My own mom potty-trained me using these marshmallows and apparently it worked well. I mean, I’ve only […]
It’s “county fair season” here where I live, which means two weekends in a row of fairs, one in each of the towns that sandwich my own. I did not grow up around this kind of thing. Barnyard animals? I read about them in Charlotte’s Web and I sung about them in Old Macdonald. The […]
When I was a first time parent (wow, am I really saying this already???) I was a high-strung, stressed out, flinched at every peep kind of mama. I hated the sound of my baby crying and did everything I could to prevent it. I was reminded of this a few weeks ago when talking with […]
When The Hubby and I went to our twenty week ultrasound to find out what we were having while pregnant with Gwyn, I was extremely excited and nervous at the same time. How was I going to react? What if I don’t react like I “should”? Would this reveal what I was really hoping to […]
Now that I have children of my own, I am even more aware of just how precious the lives of little ones are. I recently learned about a young couple that are in need of our help. I just can’t even imagine what they are going through and continue to face each and every day. My […]
Yesterday, Cal turned five months old. I swear this kid is the smiliest baby I have ever seen. You glance at the kid and he will give you an ear-to-ear grin. He is’ really starting to become a little person, discovering everything beautiful the world has to offer. His nicknames right now are Cal, Cal […]
2:30-3:00- Day begins with another pumping session. Play on phone during this time. 6:15- Hear Cal start to stir, look at phone to check time and am ecstatic that it is past 6:00. Joyfully go and feed him. He’s back down 10 mins later. 6:25- Crawl back into bed. 6:50- Gwyn is up. Change diaper. […]
Yesterday was Gwyn’s first day of preschool. We made it a special morning by picking out a special outfit, eating chocolate chip pancakes, and taking pictures to remember the day by. Pretty excited! Her pretty dress! When asked, “Gwyn, what do you want to be when you grow up? Like, when you get to be […]
