A beautiful weekend.

You may have noticed I haven’t been around this weekend, but hopefully you didn’t because you were enjoying a gorgeous one like us. The weather hit the mid-seventies (I KNOW! Beautiful, right?), and we explored our little area. We found a 5K trail to take Sully on a long walk. He ended up on his [...]

My love affair with a carseat.

Let me start by saying this review is 100% my own opinion and unsponsored. I just adore this carseat, and I feel that my readers should know about this awesome seat. When Sully was about eight-months-old, I’d finally had it with using an infant seat carseat. Carrying him and the seat meant about 35lbs of [...]

Crafts by Christina Review and Giveaway!

When Taylor was coming home from deployment, I wanted everything to be perfect. I cleaned, stocked our pantry, planned meals, planned outfits, and planned Sully’s diaper. Yes, you read that right. I planned what diaper Sully was going to wear when he saw his daddy for the first time because even that little detail was [...]

Reasoning with a toddler.

Y’all, we’re in a totally different ballgame here. It’s almost as though Sully picked up walking and a major attitude at the same time. Is it possible to hit the “Terrible Twos” at fourteen months? Because we may have just made a record. See, we’re having a hard time communicating right now. Here’s a great [...]

Rockabye! Baby Winner

Congrats to Mrs. G, #37 I’m emailing you now!

Bittersweetness of life.

Yesterday, I got to see Baby Dos during our NT scan. The tiny, delicate, perfect little feet. The sweet hands. The little roll of a belly. All of these bits and pieces reaffirmed our decision to have two under two. Sully sat on his knees on the table with me, leaning over my chest with [...]

Why everyone should visit Savannah.

There really is nothing like a beautiful, Southern, coastal town filled with history and ivy. All around Savannah, there is beauty in the age of things. In their stories. In the joy of the tourists and locals loving their city. In the food, the drinks, the music. Oh, the music. While walking down River Street, [...]

You oughta see the other kid.

Yesterday, Sully gave us quite a scare. I dropped him off at his daddy’s office because I had a doctor’s appointment. It was one of those, super fun (dripping sarcasm here, folks), very uncomfortable ones that involve words like, “Speculum” and “Swab,” so I thought it best that Sully have a “Go to work with [...]

Pregnancy Insomnia

I’m not a pregnancy complainer. I mean, really, what’s more annoying that a woman moping her currently condition when she’s GROWING A BABY! You’re giving LIFE, woman! Yes, sometimes it’s hard. Like morning sickness? I totally understand wanting to bitch about that sometimes. And I’m sorry, I don’t care how “I am woman, hear me [...]

New Years Resolutions

I don’t make them. I really don’t because undoubtedly, I would forget about them in about 15 days and go about my happy self oblivous to my good intentions on January 1st. Instead, there are certain goals that I try to maintain year-round, every year. Of course, these goals change. College graduation, marriage, moves, babies, [...]
