Respected. Knowledgable. Partner.
In March, right after I got my cast off, I started reading The Happiness Project. I read it for a few weeks, but then had some major life setbacks and stopped reading it. I went stagnant on anything other than walking again and trying to get back into the swing of life. I’m on a … Continue reading My happiness
We celebrated Maximus’ 2nd birthday today. We started by sleeping in, then had waffles, and went on a walk. All things each of us enjoy! Nap time was spent preparing food, blowing up balloons, and building a workbench. Although Maximus wanted to go bye-bye, he stuck around long enough to see that more people were … Continue reading Happy 2nd birthday, Maximus!
Usually the Internet is the quickest way to jinx something. I hope that’s not the case for this, because I really just wanted to update on the new sleeping arrangements. 🙂 Maximus has been sleeping in his “new bed,” which is his crib with one new railing, since Monday night. He’s been such a trooper! … Continue reading Toddler bed update
With no help from the Internet, we decided to take the plunge. {Y’all had NO comments?!} We got rid of the crib railing and put in the smallest, shortest rail to keep a wiggly toddler in check. As most toddler plans go, we didn’t get it done yesterday because someone decided to spend over two … Continue reading No more baby crib!
Since becoming a mommy, I’m more focused on making every day count. Now, I’ve had quite a few days that I basically wasted away, but for the most part each day matters. Some days are deliberately “wasted away.” Today was one of those days. Looking at the week ahead of us, I knew I’d look … Continue reading A lazy day with my little man
Summer. It’s my favorite time of year. I love the sunshine and the heat. I love the late summer nights and the cool breeze. I love all that summer represents and I always think it starts too late and ends too early. We’ve had an insanely hot summer this year. It may be the first … Continue reading Summer fun!
Maximus talks non-stop these days. I mean NON.STOP. He’s definitely not a baby any anymore. The only time we see anything that resembles a baby is when he snuggles. Otherwise, he’s all boy toddler. Running, throwing things, tackling us or the dog, and talking non-stop. His new thing to do is ramble on asking for … Continue reading More, more, more…yes?
I am 16 weeks into this pregnancy and part of me feels like it just begun. I’m stunned and amazed that I have a pregnant belly and don’t understand how four months have gone so fast. I know it has a lot to do with the toddler who is two weeks shy of two years … Continue reading 16 weeks of pregnancy complete
If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve seen me talking about the new game that Maximus has been playing. He pretends he’s a puppy. He gets down on all fours and crawls around the house panting. Tongue out and full-out panting. He crawls up to you and wants you to pet his head. If you … Continue reading Maximus the Puppy
We have *finally* reached the stage where Maximus is playing games when he’s supposed to take a nap or go to bed. It starts with some head shaking to let us know that he does not agree with the bedtime statement. {Let’s talk about how thankful I am that he doesn’t say the word NO … Continue reading Needing a little help – to crib or not to crib?
