Someone recently shared this YouTube video and it really touched me, so I wanted to share it with you all in case you haven’t seen it yet. It’s a compilation of real Moms and what they would tell themselves before they became a Mom for the first time. My favorites are “You’ll miss your Mom”…

A different kind of birthday shots…
My little Porkchop had her 2 month shots on Tuesday morning. Birthday shots as an infant are way less fun than birthday shots as an adult. It was harder than I remembered with Jackson and I *might* have almost cried. For the baby who never complains, seeing her frown-turned-scream broke my heart. Vaccinations are a…
MTV Cribs: Sidney Style
I joke about the MTV cribs thing. If she was on MTV cribs she would have a six car garage filled with Bentleys and would open her nursery door in a bikini and 5 inch heels. Instead, she’s wearing a onesie and socks, sleeping in her seat next to me while I sit at the…

Letters to my Daughter: Two Months
Dear Sidney, I can’t believe you’ve been with us for two months now! It seems like it was yesterday you were born while at the same time it feels like you’ve been with us forever. You’re a perfect baby who loves to sleep, eats well and doesn’t complain about anything. Some of your favorite things…
Triple Action Purex Review
One of my favorite features of our new home is the laundry room. In our townhouse, our “laundry room” was a stackable unit, tucked in a closet behind the door to Jackson’s bedroom. It was not easy to get to and almost impossible to get out with a basket of laundry. The layout made me…
When Life Gets in the Way

Wordless Wednesday: 2nd Birthday Edition
I wonder if Fisher Price had that in mind…
I posted a picture of Sidney on Facebook yesterday because her brother had stuffed her swing with his trains. So cute, right?! Until one of my Mother’s friends had a little too much wine and made this comment: “This carrier looks like a vagina!” I’ll admit, she’s got a point. I wonder if Fisher Price…
Pregnancy & Baby Pictures
Here are my weekly pregnancy photos with both Jackson & Sidney. Unfortunately, it’s much more difficult to take weekly pictures while moving and raising a 1 year old so there are less weekly shots with Sidney’s pregnancy. I didn’t feel like taking pictures while heavier than usual & bloated, but I’m so glad I documented…
