Motherhood is tough. I think we can all agree upon that one, right? Each age comes with its own trials and tribulations, as well as its little victories. With Lucas, three was hard. Four has also had its challenges, but in somewhat of a different way. These challenges have often convinced ...
Getting Ready for New Things
Lucas is officially registered to start kindergarten in the fall. And I'm over here being all sorts of sentimental and anxious about it. Sometimes, it seems like it was just yesterday that I was typing up Baby Tooth updates and Lucas's monthly recaps. Cliche as it sounds, the years really ...
Why Is Everyone Else Making It Look So Easy?
I'll preface this post by saying that I just sat down from putting two very needy and slightly grumpy boys to bed, so my emotions are likely getting the best of me here. BUT, I'd been trying to think of something to sit and write and share with you all, so here's what I've got. I don't know ...
Reflecting On An Old Post: Honest Thoughts on Having Two Kids {Part 2}
A little over a year and a half ago, I wrote a post all about my Honest Thoughts on Having a Second Baby. At the time, I had NO idea what was to come. Whew! And now, here we are…Alex is almost 14 months and I feel like now would be a good time to come back to that post and reflect on those ...
Lucas Turns 4! {Reflecting on This Past Year}
Today, my first born turns 4 years old. Some days, it seems like an eternity since we first brought him home…but most of the time, it feels like it was just yesterday. And somehow, just within these past few weeks, something has really changed and Lucas now just seems so incredibly ...
Things I’ve Learned While Potty Training
At the beginning of last month, we officially started potty training Lucas. I had been putting it off and putting it off, mostly for my own selfish reasons of not wanting to have to deal with that AND a newborn. But if I wanted Lucas to be able to start preschool, then it had to be done. So we ...
September Will Be Hard
Well, today marks the end of my 12 week maternity leave and it’s my first official day back to work. Granted, my situation is a bit unique right now; the daycare the boys will be starting at doesn’t have their slot available until next week, so I’m technically working from home for about a week ...
What I Keep Stocked In My Diaper Bag
This post is brought to you by a STSL sponsor! I’m pretty sure my diaper bag has gone through quite a few different phases over the past three years. First it was stocked for Lucas as a newborn, then it changed to what Lucas needed as he grew older. I swear, at one point I had everything under ...
Mom Guilt: You’re Not Alone
I’ve had the thoughts for a post like this on my mind for some time now, but I’ve yet to really give myself the time to truly think it all out and make it sound like I might sort of make sense. In case you can’t tell by that first sentence, I still haven’t really done that. And I can’t promise ...
Our Checklist for Stocking the Nursery
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been trying hard to focus on coming up with anything we’ll need to stock the nursery. My intention is to make sure that everything is set (hopefully!) within the next week or two, so it’s just one less thing that I’ll need to worry about as baby boy’s arrival ...
