So I have a confession to make. Holidays… Oh, I don’t know, you guys. I have a hard time getting excited for the holidays themselves anymore. It kinda just brings to light the yucky side of consumerism and it’s hard to enjoy the real meaning behind them. But obnoxious preaching aside, it’s such a relief…
I think about blogging every day. I really do. But lately, as I sit with my morning coffee and try to think of relevant topics to write about, I straight-up Draw. A. Blank. You know the blog has always been like my therapy. As I have struggled navigating parenthood, and comparing myself to other moms,…
WELL JANUARY HAPPENED. And it hit us like a ton of bricks. We are still climbing our way out of the rubble, right on the tail-end of the holidays, and so much work and so many appointments and several sick days with no real recovery time and weddings and trips and family and yada-yada-yada.

Harder because Stevie knows what he wants and he wants it now. No exceptions. Lots of tantrums, screaming, demanding, and more presents!!!! I know he’s not the…
OMG STEVIE IS 5!! And this is the first year he understands it’s his birthday. For the last month, he kept telling us my birthday coming up soon. And when we’d ask how old he was going to be, he finally stopped saying two and started giving the right answer. This morning he woke up ready…
Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Ours was surprisingly busy. And I am surprisingly glad that it is over. I think I’m just excited for November and all the things in store the next few weeks! Friday morning we stopped by Stevie’s preschool for the Halloween parade. If you imagined that Stevie was super excited to wear…
