Friday Letters

  Dear Starbucks, Thank you for having your Pumpkin Spice Latte out, I enjoyed every sip of mine this morning. Dear Pinterest, How I've missed you the past two weeks.  I've been pinning here and there while pumping but I haven't had the time to really PIN.  I'm definitely going through Pinterest withdrawl. Dear Football Season, You're finally here!  It seems like we've been waiting forever for you to get here.  Were totally ready for some tailgating, home games and away game parties. Dear Craft Room, I'm sure you miss me, I miss you too.  I was able to hang out with you for an ... read more

What I’m Loving

Happy Wednesday!  It's officially day three of being a stay at home mommy.  D has been back to work since Monday and I'm happy to report that things are going smooth. Since there is so much that I'm loving lately, I decided to link up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday. I'M LOVING AG's newborn pictures.  I'm actually obsessed with them and can't begin to decide on which ones I'm putting in the house.  Here is one of my favorites... I'M LOVING that football kicks off this week!  USF games start this Saturday, but we will be cheering on from home because we have family in town. ... read more

The Best Laid Plans

So, you find out you're pregnant and after the excitement wears off, the oh shit- I'm going to have a baby kicks in.  For me that feeling didn't kick in until the final trimester.  I spent the other two trimesters worried and just praying that everything with this pregnancy will be okay.  At that 7 month mark, I started getting worried that I wasn't doing enough to prepare for the baby, preparing to be a mom.  I hadn't read any books, just kept up with day by day pregnancy apps. Nothing about what to do when baby comes home or what to expect in the hospital.  On the ... read more

MIscellany Monday

Happy Monday! These past 10 days have been the most wonderful days of our lives.  They've flown by and have been exhausting but worth every single sleepless night.  I have a little bit of time while hubs is napping and AG is finishing up a 3 hour stretch of sleep, so here's a little of what's on my mind lately. Mom...my mother is hands down the most wonderful woman in the world.  She spend the first week of AG's life with us.  She cooked, cleaned, took AG when we needed a break, taught me how to do things, snuggled her granddaughter and overall was just a wonderful support.  I'm so so ... read more

If you really knew me…

I've seen this post around the blog world for the past few weeks and have enjoyed reading all the posts.  I decided to save it for when the baby came.   If you really knew me, you'd know that... I'm a planner. I plan out everything from blog posts to weekly meals to sometimes conversations that I'm dreading having.  Totally type A. Which can lead to easily getting disappointed and stressed when things don't go the way I had planned, but this is something that I've greatly improved on over the past few years.    When I'm not happy, you can tell.  I'm not ... read more
