I always think it is really cute when pregnant Moms and their husbands come up with cutesy little names for their little growing nubbin. Names like Peanut and Bean and Bug and everything else that is little and cute. But when I got pregnant? Nothing sounded right. I knew other pregnant Moms with their own little Peanuts and Beans,…

Mommy Pictures: Snuggles
Looking back over the photos taken in the last few weeks, I found only one picture of myself. It isn’t a glamourous picture. My hair isn’t done and my face isn’t made up. My pajamas are on and my baby isn’t dressed. But on a rainy and cool autumn day like today, there really is not a…
Dangerous Mommying
When I really stop to think about how long it has been since I have had a full night’s sleep, it gets overwhelming. Honestly? I can’t remember how long it has been. The answer isn’t simply 6 months, 1 week and 2 days, because, let’s be honest, sleeping gets much harder the further into pregnancy…

The Word Love
Being a lover of literature and writing, I have an intense appreciation for language. Language is a wonderful thing. It grants humans the privilege to communicate.

Too Many Choices: Convertible Car Seats
I am indecisive. I may say that I like to have options to choose from, but in reality, I do not do well with many choices. Ask my husband. He will tell you how annoying it is to sit with me at a restaurant while I have to read the menu over word for word…
Mommyhood Survival Guide: Weddings (Complete with Mommy Pictures)
Can I tell you a secret? I was totally dreading my sister’s wedding. It wasn’t because I disliked her fiancé-now-husband. No, I am so thrilled to call him my brother-in-law! It wasn’t because she was a terrible Bridezilla either. No, I was dreading her wedding because I had no idea how to take care of a…
