Just seven weeks ago, I became a mom of two. That still blows my mind every single day. The same goes for Jay. He was just telling me a story the other day about a conversation he was having with another guy who was telling him how he’s just not sure he’s ready for kids yet. We always laugh ...

And Then He Turned Three
I still can’t believe that my “baby” is now THREE years old. Sometimes, it feels like it was just yesterday when he arrived. Yesterday was honestly one of THE best days that I’ve had in a long time. Easily one of the best since Alex was born because, somehow, everything just fell into place ...
Weekend Catch Up
Well if there’s one thing I’m learning very quickly since becoming a mom of two kids, it’s that I have a whole lot less time available to sit and work at the computer. Hence, the reason I’m coming to you today rather than yesterday to tell you about our weekend. Not that there’s anything earth ...

Lucas gives the weekend two thumbs up. How was YOUR weekend? We didn’t do a whole lot on Friday night or Saturday except for some stuff around the house. Jay mowed the lawn in the morning, me and the kiddos went for a walk and hung out in the yard, and then we all just sort of chilled the ...
Fun Facts Friday {7/15}
1. Well, this week has had some good days and and some really tough ones, too. BUT, I will say that Alex gave me a full 7-1/2 hours of sleep Wednesday night and it was amazing. This, however, was at the expense of a full day of crying and needed to be rocked and held the day before. Ohh, this mom ...
Alex: 1 Month
I know it’s one of the most cliché things to say, but I am honestly flabbergasted by the fact that Alex is already one month old. And this is a long update post, so grab a seat. Don't say I didn't warn ya! And we totally brought back the monkey from Lucas’s monthly pictures, too! I ...
