A few nights ago I spent some time working on Sawyer’s first birthday invitations. I couldn’t find any that were just right for the theme so I decided to design them myself. By the time I looked at the clock it was 11:00 p.m. I couldn’t believe how much time I had spent moving … [Read more...] about All these little messes

An Update on Sawyer
In an earlier post I discussed that my anxiety had been growing because Sawyer seemed somewhat “floppy.” This was something that I noticed early on. When I held her at two months I noticed that she had very little head control still. She also wasn’t putting any weight on her legs … [Read more...] about An Update on Sawyer
Drive-by Blogging
1. The boys are both in that weird clothing stage where nothing fits perfectly. For Landon, 3T is now too small while 4T is still too big.

Marriage and babies would usually become the common denominator during these conversations. I would … [Read more...] about My Own Little New York City Dream
We’re Off to Disney World!
Well, we’re all packed and ready for our first big family vacation to Orlando, Florida. Aside from the flight (I absolutely hate flying if you didn’t already know that), I am so excited and happy to just be there. I have not seen my sister Cindi since June or my sister Jennifer … [Read more...] about We’re Off to Disney World!
The Mommy Ladder
You know that thing they call the “corporate ladder”? Well, I just stepped off of it and got onto the “Mommy Ladder”. I resigned from my job on Thursday. After six months of working myself to the point of utter physical and mental exhaustion I decided I had had enough. Most … [Read more...] about The Mommy Ladder
