What a week (or two) this has been! I try to write weekly, but last week was too hectic. And here's why... Germs First off, Jayden had a cold. It wouldn't have been so bad if his nose didn't get so stopped up. At night, you could hear him struggling to breathe, which made him wake up ...
I Do Marathons! (on Netflix…)
I've been asked about my progress on preparing for a marathon. (You can read about my initial lapse in sanity here.) The update is: this girl isn't signing up for a marathon anytime soon. LOL! :D I laced up, went to my local track, and started running laps like I was back in high school. But the thing ...
Attention Wal-Mart Customers (and Cashiers): Which One are You?
I think I have a complaint about Wal-Mart just about every time I visit one."Then why do you keep going there, loser?"Because the prices are usually the cheapest and they are literally everywhere... on every corner. Plus, I can't stand the people who act like they're too good for Wal-Mart. Excuuuuuse me for not wanting ...
Momma’s Boy — It’s Gift and a Curse
My husband first told me this, but I didn't believe it until recently—my son is a momma's boy. It started out with Jayden just wanting me to be the one who rocks him to sleep. No biggie. After all, he did live inside of me for nine months. :P But gradually, there has been fewer and fewer ...
Duped By Kirby! (And What It Taught Me)
I've been had! Swindled! Bamboozled! Well.. not really, but it sure did feel like it by the time the Kirby salesman left our house. :? I've never heard of Kirby before this incident. (And if you have, then why didn't you warn me???!!!) So here's how it all went down. The Doorbell I heard our doorbell ring at about 7 ...
Why I Quit Going to Salons
It takes me a long time to do my hair. Like... a LOOOOOONG time. It's basically an all weekend ordeal. Day one consists of detangling. On day two, I wash and condition and put the deep conditioner in overnight. And on day three, I'm washing out the deep conditioner and continuing with the long process of ...
How I Starved My Baby… Without Realizing It
Life is pretty good as a mother of an eight-month-old son... now. But in honor of August's Breastfeeding Week, let me take you back to a very dark time in my motherhood journey. It happened within the first week of giving birth. Throughout my pregnancy, the method in which I would feed my baby was not ...
The Madness Behind Dedication Day
Yesterday, my husband and I dedicated our son, Jayden, in church. It was a public proclamation that we will raise our son in a Godly way with the help of our parents, relatives, and the church. It was a lovely five minutes, but there were hours of anxiety that surrounded it. :o What to Wear? It wasn't hard ...
What Does “Motherly” Mean Anyways?
You know that thing that clicks inside of you that makes you want to automatically drop all of your life dreams and start living for your child when you have a baby? Well, I don't because that switch never really turned on for me. :? Don't get me wrong. I love my son very much. He's ...
Will. Work. For. Sleep.
Oh my goodness. I can honestly say that my favorite pastime is now SLEEP. So sorry to be gone for so long. I really don't know where all the time has gone, actually. One week turned into two... and then it all went downhill from there. LOL! :lol: Thanks for all of you who checked up on ...
