I am a big proponent of breastfeeding. Alright, I don’t push women into choosing to breastfeed or chastize them for choosing formula. I don’t give the stink eye to Mamas as they pull out their bottles to feed their little ones. I do wish Mamas felt more comfortable to breastfeed in public, even without covering up…

Thankful Thursday: March Edition
Today marks the last day of March. And of course, we find Cameron sick again. Let me just say, I’ve been waiting for this day for a while. March has just thrown a lot of hard stuff our way. And I’m really just ready for it to be over. I’m ready for a fresh start….
iPhoneography: Perfect Day
If you’ve been reading my blog lately, you’ll know that March hasn’t been the easiest. Returning to work, Starting daycare, Sick days, Car accident, … I am just so ready for this month to be over with. And this week I seriously believed I had hit rock bottom and gotten a hypothetical concussion in the…
Sick of the Sick
Daycare is going fine. The teacher is nice, the kids have fun, and Cameron is so messy and played out by the end of the day that it is super easy to get him bathed and in bed. Except that daycare isn’t going fine. Not at all. Because we’ve been struck with The Daycare Plague….
Tied Down
God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him…
Birthday (Week) Month! Icing on Top
Birthday Month Part One: Party Planning Birthday Month Part Three: Floating On Air I have never been a huge cake lover. White and chocolate cake? How mediocre. How blah.

We’re currently in the middle of Apocalypse Daycare which has brought with it high temperatures, runny noses, coughs, serious baby malaise, and lots of sleepy snuggles. (Can someone please remind me why daycare is so awesome?). While all of this has been going on, my maternity leave ended and I went back to work. I am writing…
New Mommy
It is official. I am a new Mommy. I didn’t really want to become a new Mommy, but it was a change that had to be made. I am now a Working Mom. My first day back at work went well. Cameron and Mommy both got through the day with minimal tears. I kept my…
Apple Cinnamon Butterscotch Muffins
I’m not going to lie. Sometimes I just feel like I can’t quite juggle everything that needs to be done in order to be the perfect Mom and wife. And then I try to make food. For me, the mixing of ingredients is just a stirring of emotions, a culmination of my competencies heating up…
No Mom Talk Mondays: The Grocery Game
Life is going to change real fast! In a week, I’ll be going to back to work while still trying to manage a household. I’m already struggling and I can at least grocery shop during the day and start dinner at 4:30pm. I’ll be surprised if this house doesn’t crumble once I return to work….
