Sometimes Motherhood Feels Like Sheet

sometimes-motherhood-feels-like-sheet

Well, not the girls’ luxurious sheets from Linens and Hutch. We LOVE their duvets and sheets. I swear they make them with a little liquid velvet. The materials feel so good against your skin. And I think the girls would agree. They’ve loved playing in their beds together…having tea parties, pretend sleepovers, just rolling around and being silly, covering up and trying to scare the other one…or us! And they’ve officially slept one night in the same room together! They may have both woken up a 2:30 in the morning, and then had to be…

Unplanned Plans

unplanned-plans

I feel like being so connected to social media, makes me want spring even more! Don’t you? And in the south, one day it’s 80 and the next is snowing. True story. Happened this week. And I feel like with the impending spring season, our life is just getting more and more hectic. I sat down to look at my calendar today, and I have something to do literally every single day. One of them may be a hair appointment (which is actually super relaxing), but just seeing a full calendar stresses me the heck out! Dinners with…

Why Can’t My Mustache Fall Out?

why-cant-my-mustache-fall-out

The postpartum shed has started. Y’all… this is the worst part of “recovery” for me. It happened at the exact same time with Hallen too. So, I’m hoping it’ll stop at 6 months as well. I feel like my hairline recedes five inches. Why does pregnancy come with such terrible side effects? In my head, I think it should make you more beautiful. Like…if my hair is going to fall out, why can’t my mustache hair fall out instead? That’s the hair I really don’t want! Or the unruly eyebrow hairs..or my…

Spit Up With a Side of Guilt

spit-up-with-a-side-of-guilt

Y’all..this week I leave to go on my first ever “momcation.” I never left Hallen for an extended period of time when she was a baby, because I just couldn’t leave her side, and well…she needed me! I felt guilty leaving her to go have fun. I felt guilty for not being there for a fun moment that she may have. I felt guilty for her few minutes of crying that would inevitably happen when I closed the door and said goodbye. I felt guilty before even making plans, so I just didn’t make plans…

The Mother I Aspire To Be

the-mother-i-aspire-to-be

Since the month of May has the day we celebrate all types of mothers, I figured I’d keep the “mom” theme going.What has your mother, or one of your role model’s who’s been like a mother, instilled in you? Were you taught to shoot for the stars, to never stop dreaming, treat others as you would treat yourself, always be kind and respectful? One thing that I’ve always wanted to be as a mother is to be more patient, selfless, a teacher to my kids. I think we all have those days where we, as…

CA Souls

ca-souls

Delicate, unique, and meaningful. Three words that would describe the bracelets we received from CA Souls. A delicate piece of jewelry usually seems understated, which I love, but, these “understated” bracelets also make a big statement unknowingly to everyone’s eye. They’re morse code bracelets! You can customize it with a message you want or buy one that they’ve already made up.My bracelet is 14k gold filled and spells out “mother” with both of the girls’ birthstones attached to it. And both of the girls have their own rose gold filled bracelet, which spells out their names…

Matching Florals

mommy-me

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Like…it’s sooner than you think. I know holidays come around the same time each year, so it shouldn’t be a surprise, but somehow it always is, right?! How is that? I’ll figure it out one day! I always say I’ll buy things way ahead of time, but then end up doing last minute shopping.Well, I found the perfect mommy and me outfits for all of you who love to match your daughters! The fun thing is that these are all small shops, so you’re helping…

Quiet Game

quiet-game

Good graphic tees are a must. I remember I used to search for just the perfect saying that fit my life. Annnnd, at this point in my life, I think I found the perfect one again! It’s from Brave Little Ones. Besides the gray I’m wearing, it comes in a dusty rose as well.   Let’s Play The Quiet Game! I actually haven’t used this technique on Hallen yet, but I think it’s about time. Next time she plays her whining game, I’ll tell her it’s time to play my quiet game, and…
