Just a note to say that I might be blogging a little less than usual. I seem to have some sort of pain in my hands and wrists (what I am guessing might be carpel tunnel?) and so I am going to try to avoid the computer as much as possible (this will be a…

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…

Something for Sunday: Made for Glory

Mommy Pictures: Natal Day
A couple of weekends ago, I had a wonderful weekend. My sister and her fiancé came to visit so that they could babysit while Dan and I went to a wedding. It was a long weekend, so my husband was home for an extra day. We got together with family lots and just had an…
Perfection
Tonight, you needed your Momma. You needed me. You had been sleeping but eventually you found yourself lingering somewhere between desperately wanting to be asleep and trying to be asleep. That place? It is not a calming place to be for a little sleepy boy. You couldn’t get comfortable. You rolled to your belly and…
Mommy’s Dress-Up Doll
Right from the very beginning of my pregnancy, my husband was certain that we were having a boy. I wasn’t so sure. In fact, every time I pictured myself with a baby, I pictured a little girl baby. You see, I have two sisters. Everyone in my family is a woman except for my Dad….
Mommy Pictures: Five Months a Mommy
It rained yesterday. I am actually a huge fan of the rain. I think it comes from my years of working in the service industry. Rain means that people tend to stay inside and not go out. Whenever it rained on a work day, I knew I had a relaxing shift ahead of me. Now…
