I feel the need for a good long rambly update so here you go :) Nathan started his new job and he likes it. I’m not sure if I wrote this before but it is technically a temp job. But most people ...
Good news everyone in Musings
I haven’t written in a while. Mostly because my anxiety has been through the roof and I’ve been having trouble putting it all into words. But today I’m here to share some good news. NATHAN START...
Life Update/Classic Movies in Musings
Besides the whole Nathan still not having a job thing, things have been good at my house. Nathan and I are connecting. Leah has become more independent. Alex is just the best baby ever. My busine...
My life is full right now. Full of dirty diapers. Full of dirty floors. Full of dirty dishes and laundry. Full of noise. Full of yelling and crying. Full of moments of choas. Full of worry. Fu...
A little note in Musings
I’m currently trying to teach my toddler the “you don’t always get what you want” lesson. She’s admittedly been a little spoiled. Not that we buy her a toy at the store every time or anything. Bu...
These are the moments in Musings
Rain outside. Sipping coffee. Baby girl sleeping. Big girl sitting right next to her in her chair watching a show we both love. Banana bread in the oven that big girl helped me make. Daddy snoozi...
Our hearts grew in Musings
Nathan put it perfectly when he said “I feel like the Grinch at the end of the book when his heart grew 3 sizes” This tiny little being who does little other than eat, sleep, and poop has come in...
She's here! in Musings
She is here! We are home and could not be happier. She’s a perfect little snuggle bunny. Big sister loves her SO much and she is just the perfect addition to our family. Her birth was not exactl...
I'm having a baby this week! in Musings
This pregnancy has felt like ages, and a blink of an eye at the same time. Leah has grown up so much in the past 9 months. She’s in a big girl bed, potty trained, no more sippy cups, speaking in ...
There’s been so many times over the past few weeks where I have just felt done. Done being pregnant. Done being a mom. Just done. I know so many women would give anything to be where I am in life...
Be a Helper in Musings
My heart is so heavy. There have been so many tragic events recently. The girl who was shot at her own concert. The mass shooting in Orlando. And there’s currently something going on in my own ho...
She is JUST like him in Musings
In this time of Nathan being home more I have come to realize something: our daughter’s brain functions just like his. The best example is that when my husband was in first grade, the teacher cal...
What I did today in Musings
I remember when it was a thing in blogging to write about what you did sort of hour by hour. Most of the time with pictures. I always loved that for some reason. I like looking back on my life at...
Well it happened. He was fired. And it happened a lot more quickly and dramatically than we could have imagined. So remember when I said in my last entry that everyone’s hours were cut? Well that...
Lots of complaints. in Musings
Things have been rough lately. The main issue is that Nathan’s work isn’t doing so well so they are cutting back everyone’s hours. As if money wasn’t tight enough already. He’s looking into new j...
Overwhelming Emotions in Musings
Yesterday was a rough day for my daughter. On Saturdays, since Nathan works, we always go to my parents house to spend the day. Before we even left for their house at 9 am she had thrown 2 fits f...
Need a break from the world in Musings
This entry isn’t going to be pretty or sappy. I’m huge, I’m tired, and I’m frustrated. Someone got into our car again last night. I guess after we brought in groceries yesterday we forgot to loc...
Remembering I'm loved. in Musings
Nathan and Leah having a convo in the other room Leah: Mama is my best friend Nathan: What about me!? Leah: No, Mama Nathan: That’s okay. Mama is a good best friend. She’s my best friend too An...
17 weeks left in Musings
Seventeen weeks until our lives will be changed again. Until our little family gains a new member. The last member. The one that will complete our family. I can’t wait to meet her. To see what s...
It's a.... in Musings
GIRL!!! I really thought if I found out we were having another girl I might feel sad or disappointed. But I dont. As soon as I saw her on the screen I didn’t care. Alexandra Jane is on the way an...
More baby things in Musings
It seems like right after I write or say that Leah is in a good phase she does a 180 on me. I wrote that last entry and now she’s throwing a lot more fits and fighting me on things. Like getting ...
Feeling Good in Musings
Well it looks like I’m finally over the first trimester slump. I had the worst stomach bug of my life and after that mercifully went away I started feeling like myself again. Thank goodness. I’m ...
I might die (literally and metaphorically) in Musings
I said I wasn’t going to whine about this pregnancy. I lied. My stomach always hurts. It’s either gas, nausea, diarrhea, or consipation. My head has literally hurt for over a week. The only rel...
(Note: I wrote this as a series of letters I’ve been writing in my written journal. I decided to share it here. And if you read me on OD you probably know who it’s written to and needless to say,...
I’m uncomfortable. Bloated. Still nauseous from time to time. I can’t brush my teeth or kiss my husband more than a few seconds without gagging. My headaches have gotten worse and I can’t take my...
