It is time for that “new year, new me” movement.  My husband always makes fun of this time of year, because it is a bunch of people making goals that by February, they’ve probably abandoned.  I’ve found making goals throughout the year and making small attainable steps to reach those goals are much better comprehended […]

New Years 2019

Phew.  2018.  You have been a roller coaster.  There have been very high highs and very low lows.  It is easy to look back and focus on the lows of the year including physical therapy (for Bailee and myself), helmet for flat head, being sick constantly, ear infections, HFM, the decision to get tubes in […]

My last college course was the Summer of 2015.  Since then, I feel like I have lost my grip on education.  It is crazy how differently you use your brain when you are in school.  You can think more critically, you approach problems in different ways, and you are used to questions that are meant […]

Recently, I’ve been wondering how in the world my husband can go to the store for t-shirts and spend $40 and get 5-6 shirts.  Whereas I go to the store and get 4 shirts and have to pay $65.  Am I just shopping wrong?  Do I get different brands?  Or, is there truly a difference […]

Making Enemies while Finding Myself

When Brett and I started talking about parenting, I thought I knew exactly who I was going to be.  I am a huge planner, as many of you know, so I read all the baby books, Googled all the symptoms, and prepared in whatever way I thought possible. My vision of being a parent was […]

Oh my goodness does time fly.  I feel like I’m going to have to do weekly blog posts just to catch up with all the amazingness that has happened in the past 8 months.  Yes, that is right.  Bailee is 8 months old.  Um, what?! Since, I am so behind in posting anything about Bailee […]

Heart-Shaped Problems

Socks. They are seriously the death of me.  I ALWAYS forget to grab socks when I am picking out Bailee’s outfit for the day. Originally, all I had bought were white socks, because that is all I wore as a kid.  Then, when we went out with our best friends, I realized I should have […]

We have had Miss Bailee for almost 6 weeks now.  As I sit down to write about our first week with her, it feels like ages ago.  She has already grown, developed, and changed so much since that first week.  We, as parents, have also changed and I would like to say we have gotten […]
