Fall Bucket List

I've seen so many cute bucket lists all over Pinterest lately and it inspired me to create my own bucket list for fall. Fall is my favorite time of the year and I don't want to miss anything this year. So, I took some time to go through my Pinterest boards and make a list of everything I wanted to bake, do and make. You all know how much I love my lists, so I will be checking things off as we go.  I'm sure I'll add to it as well.  Happy Fall!

Pregnancy After Miscarriage

I've been writing this post in my head over and over again for the past nine months.  It's definitely not something that is easy to talk about, but I knew I wanted to share my experience.  Not only to get it off my chest, but to hopefully help someone else that is going through one of the hardest things I have ever gone through.  Not enough people talk about miscarriage.  Which I completely understand.  It's hard, sad, and most of the time there is nothing to say to make it better.  But the one thing that helped me is talking with women who experienced the same thing.  There is an instant bond ... read more

Lots to Love

Happy Wednesday!    I have to admit I'm glad this week is half way over.  Monday was a LONG & exhausting day.  AG decided she didn't want to take more than a 30 minute nap all day and then was super fussy.  Usually she is pretty easy to soothe with a walk but it was thundering out.  Then, I had a horrible experience with Poke a Dot shop which I'll  be blogging about soon.  I never been so heated over an online order...EVER! By 5pm I was over it.  Thankfully everything was back to normal on Tuesday!    I decided to link up with Jamie today to focus on everything I'm loving right ... read more

99 Days until Christmas!

Yesterday marked 100 days until Christmas.   Can you believe it?  As a self proclaimed Christmas fanatic, this news is the highlight of my week.  I just love everything about Christmas and the time leading up to it.  This year will be even more magical because of AG.   Source: dyidreamer.blogspot.com via Leah on Pinterest The only thing I don't like about Christmas is that it flies by and I never get everything done that I want to during the busy time.  Whether it's making a gift I wanted to make, baking something, or going somewhere to see a special ... read more

Bye Bye Baby Weight: The Beginning

I knew this day would come.  The day where I would have to put down the peanut M&M's and get my butt back into shape.  I gained 40 pounds during my pregnancy.  I think 30 were legit but 10 were from the first trimester when I was so sick all I could stomach was chicken fingers, fries & pizza. Yes, I ate like a 5 year old. I gave into my cravings during my pregnancy, because when else are you going to be able to eat what you want and it's okay to gain weight?  I didn't go crazy but if I wanted a blizzard from DQ, I had one.  I also walked 5 days a week until the ... read more

Newborn Must Haves

It's hard to believe that exactly one month ago today our little one was born.  This month has flown by and there were certain items that I could not live without. Some of my loves were recommended by other bloggers, so I wanted to make sure I shared my loves with you. Hopefully this helps some of you who are expecting your little ones very soon.  Please note these are our favorite newborn must haves and my personal opinions. 1. Travel Sleep Sheep: We have the big one and this one but I use this one more.  We attach it to her car seat and turn it on anytime we go anywhere.  It helps ... read more

Friday Letters

Hello Friday!  I've been looking forward to you all week.  We don't have big plans for today, just some lounging, snuggling, baking and hopefully some crafting.Dear AG, You are a rockstar! You've slept 10-6 twice this week and the rest of the nights you've slept 9:30-4:30 and are back to bed after you're fed and sleep to 9.  You definitely know how to keep your type A-schedule loving mommy happy.  I can't believe you'll be one month old on Monday.  Love you baby girl! Dear Mailman, I am not happy with you at all.  AG's birth announcements were supposedly delivered last Friday and I spent ... read more
