The Confessions Of A Stay At Home Mom
Sigh... Lucas turned two in February and it's like something switched in his brain. My sweet, cuddly, loveable, laid back baby? Yep, he is GONE. And in his place? This assertive, demanding, temper-tantrum throwing big (or so he thinks) boy. I am not a fan! We breezed past the twos with Adam, he was a delight. While the threes were a completely different story, I just assumed my sweet … [Read more...]
I was dead set against letting my kids have pets until they were old enough to take care of them because 1) I'm not really an animal person and 2) I totally don't have time for nor do I want to have another thing to clean up after. After much persuasion, DH has been begging for weeks, I caved and we decided to get Adam a pet! A really cool, blue beta fish. I love it because it's really low … [Read more...]

First, I have to take a moment to brag. Lucas and I are coming up on the one year of breastfeeding mark! We did it! I did it! It's amazing. I wanted so badly to make it to one year. I hadn't thought about what happens next, but all I knew was that one year would mean so much to me. And it does. I gave up early with Adam, and I truly regret it, but I think that the regret has pushed me to keep … [Read more...]
I love breastfeeding. That is definitely not a secret. But? I thought it was supposed to get easier as they get older...!? Maybe it's just my nursling, but I feel like he is always. on. the. tap. Always. Oh, and did I mention he STILL wakes up to nurse 2-3 times a night? I've tried putting him to bed in his crib, and that worked for all of a week, but now we are back at square one. I'm … [Read more...]
With the holiday season in full swing, people are dragging out the Christmas tree (or buying/chopping one down!) and decorating the house, and taking 540954 photos in hopes of getting the *perfect* one for the holiday cards. Well, at least my family is!I love this time of year! I have been itching to put our tree up for weeks now, but DH made me wait until Thanksgiving was over, now it is, and I … [Read more...]

With two available sizes that fit both 4-8 pounds and 9-13 pounds, Itzy … [Read more...]

Tea Collection is my favorite place to shop for highly fashionable, designer clothes for my boys.Lucas received the Toma Daily Tea Set and Adam received the Moto Jacket to review. Right from the beginning, I was highly impressed with the quality of the clothes. I have washed them several times and … [Read more...]
A few months ago, Safety 1st hooked us up with an infant car seat for Lucas and we love that car seat so much! I have teamed up with Safety 1st again, this time Adam got a new car seat!We were sent the Complete Air 65 convertible seat and DH thought "oh he is going to hate this seat" because Adam likes to look at the window when in the car and he thought the air protect padding things would … [Read more...]
Dear Baby Love ♥,GAH! I cannot believe how fast time flies!! My baby boy is already nine months old! It's so crazy! I love watching you grow and learn. You have developed quite the personality and aren't afraid to let someone know if you aren't happy about something. Daddy is one proud dada because you finally say "dada" all the time. It's cool, I'll let him enjoy this for a little bit … [Read more...]
