June! My most favorite month. June represents so many great things in my life. This month I get to celebrate my husband on both his birthday and Father's Day. It's the kickoff of summer, my birthday, and the start of summer Friday's at work. The temps here in Florida do begin to rise into the high 90's but with a pool or beach close by, that's not a problem.
Read MoreFive years ago I woke up to an unsure feeling. What was going on? Is this what Braxton Hicks feel like? I continued on to work, asking friends what labor felt like. I called a nurse who assured me it was likely Braxton Hicks. The pain continued throughout the day and eight hours later, I was in full on later, praying this precious, little peanut was coming soon.
Read MoreI've been a Mom now for almost five years. That is five years of being number 2, or 3, or 4 in line of priorities. There are things that will always take precedent when you are a mom, rarely is that thing YOU.
Read MoreAs a parent, there is something so special about pictures and videos of our children. Most of the time they are taken with our phones, sometimes at bad angles and even blurry at other times. These pictures and videos are priceless, despite being less than perfect.
Read MoreWe have had a routine over the last few weeks that has looked a little like this. I lay with Henley in her bed until she falls asleep. I hear blood curdling screams for “Maaamaaaa” around midnight, go to her room and bring her back in our bed until morning. Around 6am Macie joins the crew and we are all snuggled into bed until around 7am. One night of this wouldn’t be bad, a few periodic nights of this is manageable. Every night like this is not okay.
Read MoreIt’s Monday again and another week is ahead of us. Today was actually a pretty good day, having a nice weekend really helps to start the week off on the right foot. I spent the weekend with two of my really good friends, enjoying great music and even better conversation.
Read MoreFree time as a mom can sometimes feel a lot like a unicorn, a beautiful, mythical creature that everyone loves but very few ever experience. Besides the obvious lack of time, there is the guilt that so easily approaches the minute we achieve some personal time.
Read MoreHenley is four and a half, almost exactly, and had her first real nightmare last week. I woke up to her crying hysterical in her bed. She was speaking nonsense and I was extremely tired so I scooped her up and brought her into our bed, it was probably close to 2am. She quickly settled into our bed, practically laying underneath my husband as usual, falling asleep right away.
Read MoreThe struggle is real. This is a saying that has been floating around social media for a while and has been applied to a multitude of topics. For me, the struggle with maintaining a gym routine is so real. I am sitting here on a Saturday night debating how my week will go.
Read MoreI've never been one that must have routine. I don't follow the same schedule daily. I was never strict when the girls were small with their day-to-day routines. Sure I made sure they ate every two hours or so and bedtime was consistently 7:30 for as long as I can remember but it ended there. Routine isn't something I thought I needed, until now.
