So building off of yesterday’s terrible overwhelming day I would like to start by saying I went to bed with a smile on my face. My amazing husband came home and immediately knew I wasn’t in a great head space. He hugged me and said, “what can I do to help?” He worked like 10Continue reading “Rearrange your life…and their toys”

I was trying to find something fun and upbeat to write about, but that would not match my mood and feelings for the day. I promised this would be a brutally honest blog and sometimes honest is not pretty. As I write this Elowyn still hasn’t had a nap and is doing summersaults in herContinue reading “Not Every Day is a Good Day and that is Okay!”

Let’s start with a visual. Tonight bath time for both girls got pushed back because foam needed to immediately be installed on Elowyn’s bed. We bought the foam on Saturday morning because on Friday Elowyn decided to try to jump and fly across her bed. The result? It was gnarly. I have seen a lotContinue reading “Crash and Burn Toddler”

I knew I was passing the clothes on to very good friends of ours so I was happy to start packingContinue reading “Closet clean out”

Even as an infant Elowyn has benefited from getting in the water to help her through a hard time. We don’t have aContinue reading “Put them in the water or take them outside!”

One of the things I’ve been pretty open about if you know me is how terrified I was to have a second baby. I knew if I didn’t do it, I would regret it so I just did what past me had always planned on doing and had our second IVF transfer a year afterContinue reading “From one to two…what the hell did I do?”

The very first post. Hopefully with many more to come. First The Who…I am a stay at home mom to two amazing little girls. Before staying home with my girls I worked in Early Childhood for 15 years. I went from assistant teacher all the way to center director before ending my career to careContinue reading “The Who…the Why…and the What”
