After The Hubby was gone for 17 days… YES… I SAID 17, I was just about done-in for. But counting down the days to his return kept me going, as did watching the full series of One Tree Hill. I am embarrassed to admit this. But yes, my evenings were filled with teenage drama which […]
How Far Along: 28 Weeks! HOW am I already in my third trimester? Time is flying! Symptoms: I am starting to get a little sore on my morning jogs. I shouldn’t even call them jogs anymore. They are more like wobbles. Imagine a big, I dunno, gorilla trying to run carrying her baby on her tummy at […]
I don’t know how. And I don’t know exactly why. But my kids are able to do something to me that no other being is able to do. I find myself so fired up by those two little people sometimes that I can’t control myself. And I yell. I yell like a toddler tantrum-throwing banshee. […]
How Far Along: 26 Weeks! I totally thought I was nearing the end until I counted backwards and realized I still have 14 weeks to go. That is a lot, people! Symptoms: My loungewear/workout clothes are getting a little…. short. In the belly region. Embarrassing Moment: I can officially say this week was free of these moments! Hoorah! […]
With about a dozen cookies down the hatch to myself, I decided I needed something healthier that would take the edge off. And these babies did just that. I had all the ingredients on-hand, they were super quick to throw together and completely satisfied any cravings I had. Plus, my kids love these, too and […]
Six years with this man. A man who would do just about anything for me, including a silly and fun first dance. Six years and we have come so far. From moving states, to going back to school, to babies galore, to new houses, to new careers. And so much in-between. I SCORED with the […]
Since I’ve become a parent I have been aware of all of the statistics and articles that say why TV is so bad for kids. And I get it. Really, I do. I followed these guidelines with Gwyneth, our first born, as suggested by the professionals. No TV until two-years-old and then after that only […]
Update: We had our follow-up ultrasound and I am beyond grateful to say that everything came back 100% normal! We have one HEALTHY baby! Thank you so much for your prayers, positive thoughts and support. It is all so very much appreciated! And we are so thankful! How Far Along: 24 Weeks! It sounds so strange to […]
Welcome to Menu Planning Monday! Every week I try to plan healthy meals with like-items for our family as well as meals that don’t require a ton of ingredients or complicated steps. And if it can be thrown into a Crockpot, even better! Some of these recipes are new to me, too and have never […]
How Far Along: 18 Weeks! Symptoms: I am feeling SO much better! No more nausea! Hallelujah! I am still getting tired in the afternoons… but that could also be due to staying up late watching The Bachelorette… My skin has cleared up… and so have all those other wonderful first-trimester symptoms. 🙂 Now I just have to […]
