Happy Mother’s Day

I sit here at my keyboard with every intention of busting out a Mother’s Day post, but my mind is a tad overwhelmed. I replay in my mind, my past 2 1/2 years as a momma, and so much comes to surface. Happy times. Sad times. Times I want to throw in the towel. As of lately, I feel like I’m mothering on a prayer. I have days where I am so in over my head, I can’t believe God has put me in charge of this little being. I have days where I am certain I am doing it all[...]

Birthday Perspectives

May 7, 2012 By
IMG_0786

In birthday’s past, I felt the need to pamper myself, and not feel an ounce of guilt.  In fact, I soaked it up. This year, I shifted my priorities. I wanted my 29th birthday to be all about Landyn. I wanted her to feel a part of mommy’s special day. She led. I followed.  I woke up this morning with a slew of happy birthday wishes, and I smiled. I smiled because May 7 floods my mind with happy thoughts. My first puppy was gifted to me on this day. Childhood memories where Mom and Dad would surprise me with a day[...]

Potty Training

Our time has come. My little love started potty training. Despite the backlash from family {love you guys}, I waited patiently for her day to come, as I always knew it would. Today completes day 2, and so far so GOOD! The whole thing has gone smoothly, completely effortless. Well, I did prepare months ago with a potty chair, potty seat, uber snazzy panties, a grab bag of treats, a sticker chart, and I even brushed up on my cheer leading skills…I was READY to jump THAT bandwagon. I knew once the time came, I would give it all of[...]

Life on Repeat

May 4, 2012 By
DSC_0079

After blogging for 2 1/2 years, you can’t help but feel a tad repetitive. A brillant topic comes to mind, but then you suddenly recall November 2010, when you wrote about that exact.same.thing. It’s real life deja vu, and I struggle with it. I like to believe that what I was thinking, feeling, way back then, is the slightest bit different than how I feel today sitting at my key board. We all grow with time, and even begin to view circumstances differently with each passing day. I think the beauty in blogging, is seeing this transformation within ourselves. Some[...]
